'10 KY OL Tate Nichols (Notre Dame Signee)

[charlyp123]

did he play this weekend against Michigan? Didn't notice him out there but I'm not sure, to be perfectly honest.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Don't think so. When Martin had to miss a play because his helmet came off it was Ronnie Stanley running in to replace him.

Will Nichols move to right guard or does he stay at right tackle?

Nichols is not a guard. Think he will always have to be targeting the RT spots if Zack stays one more year then passes off to Ronnie.

If anyone moves inside, it will likely be Lombard.

 

[Luckylucci]

Agree on the right tackle comment, he's too tall to play guard not sure he has the bend as well. But we need to gets this behemoth on the field

 

[arrowryan]

Golic is the leak on this o-line. We need to get him out of there

What's this "we" stuff?

"I" trust our coaching staff.

"They," the "team," are doing great...

I believe he was referring to "my people".

 

[zbikowski88]

Tate Nichols is the No. 2 right tackle, with Nick Martin sliding over to back up at right guard.

"We" have to trust the coaching staff enough to know who to play. They watch the film and practices. That said, he may be the weak link so far.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

So that leaves Hanratty...no where to be found?

LG 66 CHRIS WATT 6-3 310 Sr.
65 Conor Hanratty 6-5 305 So.

He hasn't played a snap, has he?

Don't you have to play, with a third of the season gone, to be the #2 anywhere?

Big strong, guy with a bothersome kneecap. But even if healthy and durable, he's not the answer nor is shifting Nick to backup guard. We need a more effective Starter at RG.

I say the massive Hanratty...btw don't touch the RT, he is going to be a stud.

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on reserve OT Tate Nichols: "We're going to get an MRI on his knee. We may have (taken a step back)."

Crap!

 

[FLDomer]

I feel bad for this kid. I think he has/had so much potential. I wonder if medical redshirt is in the stars for him. It's ashame because he is a monster.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

I hope he is able to recover from this. I feel bad for him.

 

[tko]

I blame Lynch.

 

[Redbar]

Damn. I hope this situation is not too serious, and ends in the best possible way for Tate.

 

[johnnykillz]

I blame Lynch.

Yeah, Mama Lynch.

#NotreDame OT Tate Nichols has suffered a setback with his knee injury and it could be career ending, sources tell Irish Illustrated.

 

[TheChosen1]

Feel for the kid

 

[Riddickulous]

Jesus. Feel so bad for him.

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

Chin up, Tate....

[Rizzophil]

That is terrible for Tate.

I guess that would explain the additional recruiting with a limited number of scholarships. A medical hardship would open up a possible scholly.
