From an article today in SPORTS ILLUSTRATED --- about new Head Coach Marcus Freeman and Recruiting changes in South Bend:
"Freeman is the tip of the Notre Dame recruiting spear, by his own insistence. “I’d better be the lead recruiter on every kid that we recruit,” he said at his introductory press conference, and he’s tried to follow through with that approach.
“I’ve gotten involved with everybody,” he said, requesting regular staff meetings to see where the Irish stand with recruits and how much of his time to invest with each of them. “Are these the guys you want me spending time with? Are we moving the needle? Is it trending in the right direction? If it’s not, let’s turn my attention elsewhere.”
