My (optimstic) thinking is he didn't need to move schools to get a shot at a P5 head coaching job in the very near future so his stint at Notre Dame isn't *just* a pay raise and another rung on the ladder....

I recall a story from right around that time that somebody was sent home because they trashed their hotel room. I was never told who it was, though....

It's especially acute at WR but it's something that needs to be addressed for the offense as a whole....

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

100% agree....

Doesn't Freeman like to use some 3 man fronts? Lucas seems like more of a 3-4 or 3-3 SDE than anybody on the roster right now....

I take that as bad news.

If they were willing to take two more commits it would be a strong indication that the first guy was...

Yeah, I am not a fan of forcing kids out. I hope Nickel just decided he didn't want to be part of a 2 TE class....

10 DE ran the 40 at the 2019 combine. That time would have put him ahead of 8 of them (though well behind Rashan Gary's 4.58) and just ahead of Nick Bosa's 4.79....
