'20 HI LB Jordan Botelho (Notre Dame Signee)

[NDdomer2]

BK also said JB would be available for all games (during fall camp).

guess he should have looked into his covid crystal ball!

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

This reeks of a "devil's lettuce: du lac 4 game suspension".
Anything else, I think Kelly could give more clarity.
Du Lac is more tight than HIPAA

Honestly no one knows if it’s Covid or not. There has clearly been an issue with JB since before fall camp.

It's incredible this is still a thing. Has to change soon right? Cannabis is now used legitimately to treat tons of conditions and has an extremely low risk profile, especially if it is not being combusted.

It will get legalized federally, before it get's legalized in Indiana.
It will never ever pass Du Lac.
Beer? Go for it.
Devil's lettuce? Don't even think about it.

Just the same that no one knows if it's punishment or not.

Could be covid, could be school,could be football internal at this point. BK and the beat writers certainly seem to be throwing enough hints out to assume covid but time will tell.

What we do know, is that we don't know.

Just my 2 cents on Botelho I think he is in the Kelly doghouse.

Time to let him out vs Purdue!

I think Botelho goes a long way in getting the defense more of what it needs. Depth, versatility, and havoc.

There are known knowns . There are known unknowns. And there unknown unknowns.

 

[tko]

What in the actual fuck is going on here?

 

[zelezo vlk]

I said this in one of the other threads yesterday: Botelho is the key to success this year. Unleash him, he'll break the starting QB, then we've got a chance at seeing a 10 win season.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

At this point its pretty clear it's Du Lac, which means minimum 4 games.

Lucky I agree with you...I would list havoc first. He has an edge to him, a nastiness, something our defense needs right now.

 

[T-Boone]

At this point its pretty clear it's Du Lac, which means minimum 4 games.

Is Du Lac yet another name for weed?

 

[IrishBoognish]

I'm convinced he'll be back next week.

BK said over and over that COVID protocols are handled in exactly the way they are being handled.

If he tested posive close to game day for FSU, that would have made him intelligible for Toledo. And BK made a serious inflection in last weeks presser about how they'd be intelligible *this* week.

Theres been no evidence this is anything other than that.

 

[T-Boone]

I hope he is an animal. Foskey has been better than I thought so far. I thought he was being over rated. I was wrong.

What is making it clear its du lac and not COVID? People keep saying these things with a conclusive air and I've not seen anything to be confident about anything one way or the other.

Oh? Didn't know he played offensive line...

What did <strike>Davonte'</strike> Botelho do?!

[EDIT] Damn, looks like strikethrough isn't working anymore.
clashmore_mike Can you look at this thread and see if you can add it back in? Looks like there's a few ways:

I agree. We have no idea. Playing Devil's Advocate, if you look at the length of time he's been out it seems he'd be back by now if it was COVID, right?

Yes, he'd be back by now (ala Logan Diggs).
There's something else here, unless he has it/actually pretty sick with it and it's taking longer than normal.

If he tested positive the day before, or the day of, the Florida State game, he would not be back yet.

How does Diggs being back mean Botelho would be? They could have gotten it days or week + apart?

 

[ACamp1900]

If it were COIVD wouldn't something have been updated by now, either officially or otherwise??

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Has anybody seen anything on why Diggs was out last week or have we all just assumed Covid?

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Diggs (likely) had it after Bothelho, because Diggs traveled to FSU but did not suit up. Jordan didn't come at all. So, Jordan was "less last minute".

Regardless, I still don't think he has Covid. There's way too much smoke. I've seen this story before.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

No. Kelly (I guess HIPAA?) can't disclose that, it's a day-to-day type of mystery. "Cleared to play, or not cleared" is the most we will get.

I don’t know the exact rules this year but I don’t think we can know that timeline is accurate. One could be vaccinated, one could not have been fully which I believe changes things. Diggs could have been in his Trevor stage of things which allowed travel. I don’t know, but I don’t find it that simple

Of course there is alternate possibilities.

With that said, it doesn't matter anyway, Jordan is not playing for another reason. The fact he was playing 3rd string in practice with the beat there, and other "weird" things going on tells me that there's way more to this story.

I believe Kelly and Co were fighting with Du Lac on this one and thought they had the all clear, but then didn't...This isn't a Kelly suspension (or he would announce it) with Du Lac his hands are tied. This is the most likely of all scenarios given weeks of background info on Jordan.
