What a testament to both Notre Dame and Marcus Freeman.

Tae is going to have a breakout season this fall, but even if he doesn't, he has already won.

I could see Tenn or Georgia cutting that clip up and re-editing it to use to recruit against ND

It would be easy to edit out words and make that clip sound like Tae Johnson is regretting his decision to go to Notre Dame, and make it sound like ND is not the place for black kids to attend. I think the amount of time that Freeman and his staff have to counter the negative recruiting has to be great. As his success on the field and on the recruiting trail continues, that time spent is bound to get worse.
