ERDDAP, Version 2.23

It happens every year. Fans are upset or discouraged about a few of the recruiting misses in the class, and the Irish coaching staff finds themselves a "diamond in the rough" to replace a four or five star recruit. It is not the sexiest add to a class, but in many cases that player becomes a big-time contributor for Notre Dame. Is it the senior breakout or senior film? Is it that the recruit has focused on multiple sports and finally is concentrating more on football? Is it luck? The answer lies somewhere in all these questions, but it is an area of recruiting where Notre Dame has flourished in year's past. I would bet on Brandon Logan as that next guy.

Recent Success Stories
I went back to the 2016 class to prove this point, and it turns out that is a good place to start. The 2016 class saw Notre Dame bring in 5 three star recruits (according to 247sports.com's composite rankings) that reached the NFL: S Jalen Elliott, CB Julian Love, QB Ian Book, DE Ade Ogundeji and DE Jamir Jones. Book and Ogundeji specifically were flips from G5 programs. 2017 is no different with several three-stars or late additions that turned into building blocks for the Irish in LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, DT Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa, DT Kurt Hinish and LB Drew White. 2018 brought in guys like CB TaRiq Bracy, S DJ Brown, TE Tommy Tremble and DE Justin Ademilola. 2019 and 2020: LB Marist Liufau, CB Cam Hart and CB Clarence Lewis. 2021 and 2022: RB Logan Diggs, TE Mitchell Evans, DT Jason Onye and C Ashton Craig. I won't dive into the 2023 and 2024 classes just yet because they are still so new, but there are examples from those classes that look like good bets to be hits as well. I can think of many more examples of players that were late adds or undervalued by the recruiting ranks and other college programs but took off as seniors and ended up as four-stars. Think Joe Alt and Jack Kiser. Brandon Logan could eventually fit into that category as well.
What This Means
The main point? While history backs the importance of recruiting rankings, some programs do a better job than others at evaluating and finding the underrated talent. Some programs don't even have to dip their toes into that pool of players - lucky them. However, recent history proves that the backend of Notre Dame's classes have high hit rates, all things considered. Keep that in mind the next time the Irish coaching staff adds a player you don't care for because their offer list is small or you watched five minutes of hudl highlights on him. Chances are, that player has a good chance at proving you wrong. Notre Dame football lands 2025 safety Brandon Logan: What Does It Mean?

Republicans have leveled inaccurate or misleading attacks on Mr. Walz’s response to protests in the summer of 2020, his positions on immigration and his role in the redesign of Minnesota’s flag.
By Linda Qiu
Since Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota was announced as the Democratic nominee for vice president, the Trump campaign and its allies have gone on the attack.
Mr. Walz, a former teacher and football coach from Nebraska who served in the National Guard, was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2006 and then as Minnesota’s governor in 2018. His branding of former President Donald J. Trump as “weird” this year caught on among Democrats and helped catapult him into the national spotlight and to the top of Vice President Kamala Harris’s list of potential running mates.
The Republican accusations, which include questions over his military service , seem intended at undercutting a re-energized campaign after President Biden stepped aside and Ms. Harris emerged as his replacement at the top of the ticket. Mr. Trump and his allies have criticized, sometimes inaccurately, Mr. Walz’s handling of protests in his state, his immigration policies, his comments about a ladder factory and the redesign of his state’s flag.
Here’s a fact check of some claims.
What Was Said
“Because if we remember the rioting in the summer of 2020, Tim Walz was the guy who let rioters burn down Minneapolis.” — Senator JD Vance of Ohio, the Republican nominee for vice president, during a rally on Wednesday in Philadelphia
This is exaggerated. Mr. Walz has faced criticism for not quickly activating the National Guard to quell civil unrest in Minneapolis in the summer of 2020 after the murder of George Floyd by a police officer. But claims that he did not respond at all, or that the city burned down, are hyperbolic.
Mr. Floyd was murdered on May 25, 2020, and demonstrators took to the streets the next day . The protests intensified, with some vandalizing vehicles and setting fires. More than 700 state troopers and officers with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ mobile response team were deployed on May 26 to help the city’s police officers, according to a 2022 independent assessment by the state’s Department of Public Safety of the response to the unrest.

Minnesota governor and Democratic VP pick Tim Walz waded into internet meme territory Tuesday with a snappy one-liner about JD Vance.
During the Harris-Walz rally in Philadelphia , Walz delivered a couch-related zinger to Republican VP nominee Vance .
Here's what Tim Walz said about JD Vance and the much-discussed couch .
During his speech at the Harris-Walz rally at Temple University in Philadelphia on Tuesday, Walz set up the zinger by telling the crowd that JD Vance doesn't represent the midwesterners Walz grew up with.
"JD studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon Valley millionaires, and then wrote a bestseller trashing that community," Walz said. "C'mon; that's not what middle America is."
Then came the zinger.
"And I gotta tell ya; I can't wait to debate this guy," Walz continued, before pausing for dramatic effect. "That's if he's willing to get off the couch and show up.
"See what I did there?"
The joke appeared to be off-script, given the facial reaction of running mate Vice President Kamala Harris, which sent the partisan crowd at the Liacouras Center into a frenzy.
@meidastouch Gov. Tim Walz obliterates JD Vance: I can't wait to debate the guy — that is if he's willing to get off the couch and show up. #timwalz #jdvance #couch #meidastouch ♬ original sound - MeidasTouch
Tim Walz' jab at JD Vance has many levels, and grew out of the false allegations that JD Vance had sex with his couch .
That many respected news outlets ran with it as fact only fueled the joke, which lead to the creation of several JD Vance couch sex-related memes and spawned dozens of related social media accounts.
Social media then amplified the JD Vance couch sex rumor even further by tying it to Vance's book, " Hillbilly Elegy ," a best-selling memoir written by Vance in 2016 and made into a film in 2020 .
Many JD couch-meme creators have identified themselves and seem to enjoy that these memes generated so much traction that well-known publications had to issue corrections and retract stories that stated it as fact that JD Vance had intercourse with his couch.

Kamala harris is again facing attacks on her racial identity. here’s more about her background..

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee, is facing a reprisal of attacks from some conservatives and their surrogates on her racial and cultural heritage, ethnic background and gender. A list recently shared across social media titled " Kamala Harris Facts ," contains wrong or missing-context claims about her background, including that she is "Not African American — Indian & Jamaican." These attacks — similar to ones raised when she was named President Joe Biden’s running mate in 2020 — misrepresent Harris’ heritage.
On television and social media, some people have also falsely and repeatedly claimed Harris isn’t eligible for the presidency because of her family’s immigrant background. Harris was born in 1964 in Oakland, California, and as someone born in the U.S., is constitutionally eligible to be president.
All of this reflects a poor understanding of history and the fluid nature and various interpretations of racial identity in the United States, race and politics experts say.
"The approach to Harris in this instance, the attempt to ‘other’ her, is a common practice in American politics," said Keneshia Grant, a political science professor at Howard University. "These tactics will continue because they work. People have to prepare themselves to check their own biases and fears and use logic and facts to guide their decision-making when these kinds of attacks occur." According to a October 2022 report by the Center for Democracy & Technology, a nonprofit that seeks to advance civil rights and liberties in technology, women of color candidates in the 2020 general elections "were twice as likely as other candidates to be targeted with or be the subject of mis- and disinformation, and more likely to receive sexist and racist abuse than any other group."
We consulted experts in Caribbean and Africana studies, political science professors and anthropologists to learn more about how Harris’ gender, multicultural and multiracial background offers a unique glimpse into how American politics grapples with issues of race and identity.
Harris grew up in a Black middle-class neighborhood in Berkeley, California, where her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris and father, Donald Harris, would often join civil rights protests. Donald Harris was born in Jamaica and immigrated to the U.S. after he got into the University of California, Berkeley, Kamala Harris wrote in her autobiography, "The Truths We Hold: An American Journey." Shyamala Gopalan Harris was born in Chennai, India, and moved to California after graduating from the University of Delhi to pursue a doctorate in nutrition and endocrinology at Berkeley. The couple separated around the time Harris was 5 and divorced a few years later, Harris wrote in her book. Kamala Harris lived in California until she was in middle school, when she moved to Montreal after her mother was offered a teaching position at McGill University. Kamala Harris attended college at Howard University, an historically Black university, in Washington, D.C., and earned her law degree at the University of California, Hastings in 1989.
Several experts told us that the implication that Jamaicans aren't African or connected to Africa is wrong on its face. According to a 2011 census , 92.1% of Jamaicans are Black, with genetic studies showing that the vast majority are descendants of people from sub-Saharan Africa. "Jamaica is a country where more than 90% of the population is of African ancestry," Judith Byfield, a Cornell University professor who teaches Caribbean and African history, previously told PolitiFact. "So the idea that because her dad is Jamaican she has no African ancestry is completely false." Byfield said people scrutinizing Harris’ ethnic background often conflate several different categories. "Jamaican is a national identity at the same time that it’s also a cultural identity and you can say the same for her Indian heritage," she said. "Those are her parents, but she's born here, and I think for first-generation people, there's always a bit of tension between the extent that they are American, and by the extent they've been shaped and framed by their parents’ cultural affiliations." The African diaspora refers to the many communities of people of African descent dispersed throughout the world as a result of historic movements, both voluntary and involuntary. During the more-than-400-years-long trans-Atlantic slave trade , an estimated 15 million African men, women and children were kidnapped from their homelands, forced into ships, and forced to endure a weekslong journey in crowded. filthy conditions before being sold into enslavement. The slave trade took millions of people to different regions throughout the Americas and the Caribbean. In a 2020 op-ed , New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie described how Jamaica was home to a brutal and violent plantation system and was a pivotal point in the slave trade. "Many Jamaicans trace their origins directly to slavery and the mass importation of African captives," Bouie wrote. "Based on a genealogical account by her father , there is a strong chance Kamala Harris is one of them. What’s more, many descendants of enslaved people in the Americas have European ancestry on account of the pervasive sexual violence whites perpetuated wherever slavery took root." Some anthropologists and ethnographers consider the African American identifier more broadly to encompass Black people who come from a wide range of countries, while others see it as being limited to Americans descended from people who were enslaved in America. Grant said that claims that say Jamaican people are not African are unaware of slavery’s global reach. "Slavery impacted many people from Africa, and we went to many places," Grant said. "Harris’ father’s people got dropped off in Jamaica. Mine got dropped off in Haiti. The African diaspora is huge, and it is worldwide, so to suggest that a Jamaican is not African, or connected to Africa is not acknowledging the vestiges of slavery."
Harris told The Washington Post in 2019 that she identifies simply as "an American," and that she’s been comfortable with her identity from an early age, something she credits to her Hindu immigrant single mother, who adopted Black culture and immersed her daughters in it. Harris said that she grew up embracing her Indian culture while proudly living as a Black girl. She said the same in her book, "The Truths We Hold."
She told the Post that she hasn’t spent much time dwelling on how to categorize herself, but being forced to define herself was more of a struggle when she first ran for office. We have plenty of ways to categorize people, but racialized categorization has structural implications, Tracie Canada, a sociocultural anthropologist and an assistant professor of cultural anthropology and gender, sexuality, and feminist studies at Duke University, previously told us when she taught at Notre Dame. "Anti-Black racism, anti-Black violence, those are the things that actually matter," Canada said. "Those are systemic problems and structural issues, so no matter how she identifies or how we identify her, is she going to be implicated in that systemic problem?" Dianne Pinderhughes, a professor of Africana studies and political science at the University of Notre Dame, had told PolitiFact that the subject of racial identity is complex, especially for Harris, because she was immersed in Black culture and community since she was very young. "You have a person who was socialized from her earliest years to be socially, culturally African American and also was supported and immersed in African American organizations," Pinderhughes said. "I think the way race is played out in the United States, it’s just been the case for centuries, that people who have some color are usually assimilated in an African American community of some sort, and that community recognizes people who are willing to look in the mirror and recognize them as well." Another aspect of racial identity has a lot to do with where a person grew up or now lives. People’s local community tends to weigh heavily on how they identify themselves, experts said. Byfield, who is of Jamaican descent and grew up in Queens, New York, said her life experience involved a blended community of Black individuals who came from countries all over the world. But they banded together in their identity and shared experiences. That may have been Harris’ experience, too. "She has chosen to define herself in terms of the American landscape, and I think those of us who have had a multinational, cultural lifestyle, we've all had to figure out individually how to come to terms with it," Byfield said. "You have all these different groups from different African countries, as well as Caribbean countries. African American community in the U.S. is not from one place, everyone is from everywhere."
