Notre Dame being top 4 in 2027 recruiting is the biggest fraud in the sport. They haven't won anything meaningful in decades.

That take is just pure hater energy, and it completely misses how recruiting works. Notre Dame cosnistently pulls top-ten classes because they sell a proven path to the NFL, a national brand, and academic prestige that resonates with certain croots and their families. Winning a natty isn't the only pitch, and their developmental track record speaks for itself. Marcus Freeman is a killer on the trail, and their 2027 class ranking reflects early commits from high-caliber guys who buy into that vision, not just recent playoff results. Look at their offensive line hauls year after year, those are program-defining gets. You can't call a class a fraud three years out based on trophy case arguments, that's not how the crystal ball works. Their consistency in recruiting is why they're always in the conversation, even if they haven't broken through on the biggest stage lately. Other programs would kill for that kind of steady pipeline.
They can recruit all they want, but they still have to play the games. We've seen this story before with them, and it always ends the same way in the big spots.
they're building something spceial and we'll see it on the field when they have to play real teams
