Brian Kelly had a lot of memorable moments while at Notre Dame. Some of them were for the good (upsetting Oklahoma in 2012, knocking off No. 1 Clemson in 2020) and others not so good (the South Florida and Michigan disasters of 2011, all of the 2016 season).
Perhaps the most memorable think Kelly ever mentioned while head coach at Notre Dame was that the Fighting Irish football program has to “shop down a different aisle” when it comes to recruiting.
That was an acknowledgement to the difficulty of getting players into Notre Dame compared to other schools but came off sounding like a major excuse.
With Notre Dame and LSU now battling for marquee wide receiver recruit Derek Meadows, a hilarious post hit social media courtesy of Ryan Fravel, who makes reference to that quote.

Oh, what some people might pay to watch Marcus Freeman give Brian Kelly a Stone Cold Stunner.
Meadows recently announced he’s moving back his commitment date a week so we’ll all have to keep waiting to see where he ends up.
