Marcus Freeman has built something at Notre Dame that former head coach Brian Kelly could have only dreamed of having, and that is a culture that players truly want to come play for. Freeman has turned into one of the best recruiters in the country as the Fighting Irish are now a premier spot to come and play for high school recruits.
When a recruit commits to Notre Dame, it isn't very often seen that they de-commit and go somewhere else. This is proven simply by the fact that when other programs come calling, recruits simply say no, just like Elijah Golden did to head coach Hugh Freeze at Auburn.
