Notre lady football is ahead of a massive recruitment option

Change offers the opportunity to improve

Things have felt somewhat chaotic in the Irish program in the last few months.

From the end of the regular season to the exciting and stress-inducing playoff boost to big changes in the program, which takes place from the day after the game of Ohio State, it has a lot to process and work.

While the fans now had some time to relax and invite, Marcus Freeman had no such advantage. From the moment when 2024 ended, he had to concentrate 100% on 2025 and quickly make some major decisions.

One of the greatest shifts within the Irish program was recruitment operation. With GM Chad Bowden, director of recruiting Caleb Davis and several support employees who leave South Bend, the Irish recruitment company is forced to restart.

All changes could be great for the program in the future.

Marcus Freeman is now in a better position to maximize Irish recruitment

Marcus Freeman enters his fourth year at the head of the Irish program. He is no longer a new head coach. It no longer has to be up to date.

Always an elite recruitment agent, now he has the results to have a better idea of ​​what works and what does not affect Irish recruitment operation as a whole. This makes the time of changing staff in the Department of Talentakquisition Ideal.

For all the positive recruitment operations that were delivered with a recruitment led by Bowden and Davis, and there were many, Notre Dame did not come close to her recruitment ceiling under Freeman.

With a better understanding of the areas of strength and weakness, Freeman now has a chance with the new GM Mike Martin, the way in which the Irish think, restart and approach.

The Irish respected very much of their 2024 playoff run. It is now time to use this when recruiting and converting this operation into a more of a NFL-style model for the purchase of talents, and I hope that Martin and companies will follow this more professional approach.

Change can be scary, but also opportunities. The Irish program is on a stable foot and with a few changes to recruitment operation, the sky is the border for Notre Dame in the modern period.
