Notre Dame got a big win over Michigan on Thursday as Recruiting Director Chad Bowden has decided to stay in South Bend after being courted by Michigan:
Sources: Notre Dame director of recruiting Chad Bowden is staying put in South Bend after being heavily pursued by Michigan.
Bowden has long been Marcus Freeman’s right-hand man and is expected to see his responsibilities grow with the Irish. @JohnDBrice1 first with the news. pic.twitter.com/S6zYquToAI

In turning down more money and an overview position at Notre Dame’s longtime rival, Michigan, sources indicated Bowden will further see his responsibilities grow. Sources, however, stressed it had as much to do with Bowden’s undeniable impact on Notre Dame recruiting and sustaining the culture that he’s helped Freeman identify and build through the recruiting process as much as response to any external opportunities.
