Worked out for Sean Tucker at Syracuse. He admitted that multiple teams contacted him about transferring after last season but he was confident this would be the year they put it together. Dude is a stud. Still can’t figure out why he only had 5 carries vs Clemson. Guess they wanted to save him for ND…LOL
If ND wants him & he’s interested, there is zero excuse for ND to not secure him. I listened to the same pod when Pete mentioned it. He noted he was texting w/ someone while watching UVA vs GT and that he was told Armstrong wanted to come to Notre Dame. He never mentioned who this person was that told him that but I re-listened to it to make sure and he stated ”Brennan Armstrong wants to come to Notre Dame”…at which point Prister said he’d drive to Brennan’s house and pick him up.
I’d take him in a heartbeat. No one on Notre Dame’s current roster is in the same galaxy as that kid. I don’t blame this year on him - he lost literally everything he had going for him last year.
That would be a great hire for sure. Dude has done incredible work at UVA and now Syracuse.
I don’t either, but he has a history of injuries. If I recall, he wasn’t able to play vs ND a few yrs ago bc he was hurt.
No, it would be pretty awful. You’re playing up the “feel good” story instead of thinking about what’s best in football terms.
No, at best he’d be the emergency QB behind Angeli
it would be fun if he was actually a functioning qb. obviously it wouldnt if he was insanely rusty
A little surprised that neither we nor anyone else hasn't made more of a run at Holstein. That said, we need a transfer for '23 no matter who (if anyone) we get as an incoming freshman.
I give Tommy the benefit of the doubt in effort, assuming they've tried to get just about anyone for the '23 QB position, but not everyone is a convincing QB recruiter. If they have not tried to pull out all the stops for a '23, then that is an entirely different level of concern. I won't pretend to know what is going on behind the scenes in QB recruiting, but it doesn't appear to most fans to be enough. I think today a lot of kids just assume they can transfer if it doesn't work out (i.e., doubling up on QB's for Bama in '23). Getting schooled as a QB under Saban's regime and having to transfer to someplace else if it doesn't work out isn't the worst thing for a young QB.
I would be highly suspicious if no teams reached out to either Bama QB recruit at some point. Either they are drinking what Saban is serving and both intend to go there to prove themselves or they are being extremely secretive about everything.
Yep. We basically can't play for the pool of five stars stuck behind another five star who bail after their freshman year. Pretty much best we can hope for is a grad transfer w/two years of eligibility who wants a bigger stage.
Which is why completely missing on a '23 QB is especially disadvantageous.
What you don’t like BC?
The simpler solution, ND changes their policy of only accepting non grad transfers that they think can graduate within 4 years from when the player first attended college.
Didn't hear that, but honestly didn't look. Makes complete sense then. The good ole Bubba Starling approach!
