This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Pretty Sure, Brunelle's Only Unofficial Trip to ND... by dillon77

.was Nielefest/Recruitapalooza. If that was the case, major "+" already. One mission accomplished...and hopefully more to happen.

Like you said, most of these players know each other. And now that group knows ND, with the HS juniors able to take officials (although the two juniors there -- Sam, Anaya -- are now committed). Could see one of these next fall, but even more so in 2019 to rekindle the memories of those who were here and add a few more for 2021, 2022.

Orangutan's study of where our recruits comes from (primarily midwest, with Mid-Atlantic) was certainly shown in that event. The exception was probably Sam, although wiht her travel schedule, she's a citizen of b-ball land!

But I'd think teams that want to reach out to a regional base would organize something like this....schools with new coaches, like UVA or Clemson. Or trying to make their way up, like Georgia Tech.

Ah, too much work...keep it at ND.
