2023 Transfer QB

[Dale]

We're at the point to where we're wanting to take Michigan's backup QB, who also happened to fuck ND at the end. Got it.

Over Mertz yes. Over someone who literally lost his team a game against us. We’ve seen firsthand.

I wouldn’t have either as Plan A.

 

[Irish4life]

McNamara and Pyne are not the same. McNamara is what Pyne should at minimum have been. He’s got a better arm, more mobile, more decisive, everything. vertical shot, slant, deep crosser. He has sufficient arm strength to do them all AND has done it.



He’s not my first choice, but he’s also not a bad one.

Cade is Book 0.75, Pyne is Book 0.1.....

Still think ND should aim higher.

 

[ColinKSU]

100% agree. I think the issue with McNamara is he will want a starting job and he will have to compete for it at Notre Dame. He will likely end up going somewhere with less of a competition for the job

Brother, he shouldn’t need to compete that hard to beat out Pyne and Buchner. He just has to complete some passes.

 

[NDMatt91]

Hudson Card is still my pick if/when he enters the transfer portal, but I don't see how any ND fan can automatically shoot down the idea of taking McNamara. He's better than the bag of crap that comprises our QB room.

Couldnt agree more..he committed to the Irish, then decommitted...i would say there are better choices.

TVD, Max Duggan, Brennan Armstrong, Sam Hartman

TVD - Sure

Max Duggan - Why not

Brennan Armstrong - YES

Sam Hartman - Oh hell Yes (Straight Gamer, and he can bring his own OC w/ him)

 

[CTIDANDREW]

Can anyone provide any further insight to what Tim P said yesterday as far as Armstrong having interest in transferring to ND?
I saw some smoke on Twitter, just curious if anyone can provide any further info.

He is a name I would be very excited by.
One of the top QB's in the country last year, who has been let down by talent and coaching this season.

It was more someone he thought ND should look into. FWIW Pete Sampson in his mailbag mentioned Armstrong along with Sam Hartman (Wake Forest) and Hudson Card (Texas)

 

[SouthSideChiDomer]

TVD - Sure

Max Duggan - Why not

Brennan Armstrong - YES

Sam Hartman - Oh hell Yes (Straight Gamer, and he can bring his own OC w/ him)

It would be pretty funny if we steal the western kentucky model of importing a whole offense from a lower level team, but do it to a P5 team.

 

[Irish4life]

TVD - Sure

Max Duggan - Why not

Brennan Armstrong - YES

Sam Hartman - Oh hell Yes (Straight Gamer, and he can bring his own OC w/ him)

That's the dream.........Ruggiero + Hartman to South Bend 23

Does it not bother you at all that he apparently has like a 70 something rushing game? Is he really the best we could do?

It does not. Confident that with ND's OL we would still have a solid run game.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Hartman leaving to come to ND instead of going to the NFL would be odd. He already owns most of the Wake Forest passing records and has nothing left to prove at the college level. If his goal is a NC, sorry to say guys, but that's not us next year.

Even if ND hires Ruggierio, I don't envision Hartman will follow.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Some other possible transfer names to look at:

Kurtis Rourke, Ohio.
Michael Pratt, Tulane.
Preston Hutchinson, Chattanooga.
Cole Synder, Buffalo.
Hank Bachmeier, Boise State (personal favourite)

I do not agree, he's not an NFL QB IMHO. Plus ND could sell him on NIL opportunities available to a star QB at ND.

I dont know that Hartman has a NFL future.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Whether he has an NFL future or not is not the question. My point was that he has nothing left to prove or show at the college level. He's going to finish this season with over 12,000 career passing yards and 100 TDs. NIL for him would be some sort of a NFL contract.

 

[Dale]

I’m not really a huge fan of Ruggiero like some others that have taken that stance, but if you theoretically import a Top 10 O onto ND, it definitely is a Playoff team as long as the D is like a Top 25 unit.

 

[EvilleIrish]

I could’ve sworn he said someone in the know texted him and said Armstrong wanted to go to ND.

Did he? I must've missed that then. Do you have a timestamp by any chance?

 

[EvilleIrish]

Not off the top of my head but it was towards the middle.

 

[CTIDANDREW]

I dont know that Hartman has a NFL future.

Was listening to Kiper on the radio a few weeks back before the Clemson vs Wake game. He was projecting Hartman around a third day spot (4th-5th Rd). One would think an awesome year at ND would move him up to at least a possible day two (2nd Rd) grade, but sadly he can’t get any taller.

 

[Irish4life]

Idk if his name has been brought up, but I'd start contacting Devin Leary of NC State right now.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

I think he’s got a better skill set than Ian Book and Book got drafted. Someone will take a flyer on him.

 

[arrowryan]

If he doesn’t go pro, this would be a no brainer.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Yes. It’s from the Monday pod around the 37:53 mark.

 

[Dale]

I don’t think he said that

It was something like I was talking to someone and they both were imagining if if Armstrong came to ND. It definitely wasn’t sourced reporting.
