Maybe Bryant needs to talk with Ishaq. Seems like he was a highly regarded player out of high school. I know it's a different position and on the other side of the ball before some of you blast me on that, but playing time is playing time. Ishaq took some time to "get it". Now he seems to & is playing. I think, with ND having some of the best student/athletes in college football both physically & academically, they will help Bryant, as well as all the other freshmen, get over that freshman hump. I vividly remember my freshman year. I got beat up pretty bad on the field and in the classroom. Had it not been for two things, I probably would have packed it up & left. One was, I couldn't afford college without the a scholly, & the fullback that made himself look really good in practice by cracking back on me & helping me set the world record on snot bubbles. Haha! He came to my dorm room one night & told me how the same things happened to him his freshman year. We became good friends & I was proud to tell folks when he was drafted by Green Bay, "yeah, I made him! I helped him perfect his blocking." I will always be thankful to Satterfield for that. I can see the upperclassmen doing that to Bryant, or any other freshman. It's tough on them all. Now if a player is a "me" person then that's not gonna help, but I think the coaching staff has done their best to not bring that type player in. Just my thoughts.
