2023 Transfer QB

[Rack Em]

Is communication legal right now?

 

[NDRock]

What about those who gave Rees credit for landing Minchey and will again if he lands a solid grad transfer QB but don't want him to be the OC going forward, and are also happy that Kelly is gone and are happy with Freeman?

I was strictly referencing recruiting.

 

[Free Manera]

I would probably be happy with Leary or Card really. They both have the physical tools to run a real college offense, and they both have shown that ability in games against good teams.

Leary seems more polished to me, but the injury thing is a little scary. If ND could find a way to bring in a QB guru as an analyst or even as QB coach (assuming Rees doesn't bolt to the league), Card would probably be my choice just because of his upside. I don't really trust Rees to develop him but would love to be wrong about that.

The moment he gets fired from Texas, ND should jump on bringing him in as OC.

Never going to happen.

He's made millions of dollars at USC, Alabama and Texas being able to recruit with little to no restrictions. Even if Notre Dame were able to get into the salary ballpark they'd need to be in to hire Sark as OC, why would he do it?

Then there's his divorce, which will not go unnoticed by the administration and any people who write checks that feel this is catastrophic.

Is that still a thing at ND? I know it used to be but I thought they chilled out a little bit with it. I think his divorce was just a regular old mom and dad don't love each other any more situation. He wasn't banging coeds or something. Then he spiraled into alcoholism because he was so broken up about it.

I don't really have an opinion on whether he should/would be hired, just actually curious how this would be perceived these days.

Maybe Drew actually hits 6’ wearing a pair of Cards cowboy boots.

I mean, we just hired a guy with a DWI and it really pissed Jesus off. Here is how I know.

- We lost to Marshall and Stanford
- That is all

Assuming we land a transfer who is all but guaranteed to start - who among Pyne, Buchner, Angeli, Pawlus transfer out? With Minchey coming in, there might be enough schollies for them all (and that's a big maybe), but there sure as shit won't be enough snaps.

There are things at ND that shouldn't be things. I'm going on assumptions here considering we are crossing our fingers about grad transfers from Northwestern and Harvard.

Notre Dame hiring Sarkisian, Dan Mullen or anyone like them isn't plausible regardless of their personal circumstances anymore than it would be if we suggested hiring Kliff Kingsbury or Scott Frost to be OC, for example. It's just not reality. Sark and Mullen have been head coaches with salaries at schools that ran out of fucks to give decades ago, if they ever did in the first place. ND isn't looking at them, and they aren't looking at ND. For anything.

Marcus Arroyo, the guy UNLV just fired? Somebody like that is probably more of a viable candidate in term of his age, experience and the money it would take to land him.

There's just no way of knowing. Personally, I think you're foolish to transfer out without your degree. Pyne is close, while Buchner & Powlus III are already half way.

I don't believe anyone transfers, it may be a surprising take, but it's hard to see why. Buchner has little value if he were to enter the portal - no experience, and has an injury. Pyne, even as a back-up, would be one of the better backup QBs in all of college football, and as we witnessed this year, he was one snap away from playing and starting. And he knows that. And he loves ND. Even if he doesn't start next year, he will graduate with two more years of eligibility remaining.

I'm good with Pyne, Buchner or Powlus departing. Honestly, simply due to opportunity and playing time, I'd want to keep Pyne overall. We really have no idea what we are getting in a 2023 Buchner. Pyne at least has a solid backup role. I'd hate to lose Angeli without any knowledge of his potential.

 

[Free Manera]

I think Angeli is the most likely to transfer. He is far from a degree and is going to have a really hard time getting on the field at ND. I think Pyne will grad transfer somewhere after he gets his degree.

 

[Dale]

Considering he hasn’t graduated and surely didn’t expect to play, I’m not sure why Powlus would transfer.

Does he stick around "no matter what?" In other words, does he stay on the roster just because he's the son of a former starting QB at ND?

He could NOT be on the roster and still get his degree, unless the cost of the degree is an issue being non-scholarship

 

[NDohio]

Isn't Tyler Buchner's sister coming to ND next year? I don't see any of these guys leaving prior to having their degree.

 

[thekid33]

The moment he gets fired from Texas, ND should jump on bringing him in as OC.

It is going to be interesting to see who has more sway over the Texas AD - the Manning family or the boosters. If they have somewhere between 6-8 win seasons the next two seasons, the boosters might very well want him gone, but if the Manning family likes how Arch is developing then does the AD pull the plug?

Personally, I don't care about potentially losing one player if it's in the best long-term interest of the program. But, Texas is weird.

I would assume most guys aren’t gonna just voluntarily give up their scholarship

 

[Dale]

Pyne after spring makes the most sense transfer wise IMO. I believe he hasn’t graduated yet, but is that still the case if he stays through the spring? Would think not, that’s 3.5 years.

 

[stpeteirish]

Don't want to give too much away, but it was confirmed on one of the premium sites that Card is graduating next month, so he'll have his degree before he enrolls at his next college.

Da-Dum that’s big

I was not thinking of that. Isn't their conversations each year with coaches and players about taking a "medical retirement" from the game?

Especially guys who are simply holding a spot due to their name/family. Not sure this is the case with Powlus, but seems like a legit option if the spot is needed if you ask me. I am sure there as legal ways to "compensate" after he is graduated.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

If the 2023 room has four guys in it three of the four for me have to be Pyne, Minchey and the transfer. I don't care who the fourth is, but if I had to choose, I guess I'd go with Buchner only because I've at least seen him versus not knowing what the other two guys can do. Again, if two guys have to get bounced, I assume let the staff decide that based on what they see every day. From my perspective on the couch watching in HD, I go Pyne Buchner Minchey and Prince that was Promised.

Assuming the transfer guy starts, you have Pyne backing him up ready to go in case. Minchey begins digesting the offense and coming along physically with Ballis.

has powlus ever been hurt? hard to medically process him.

I think the common approach is you lay out the depth chart to guys and let them see the light.

Ryan Roberts just reiterated that Card will be graduating next month and he has always been a high academic kid.

I could have sworn I read something about Powlus having diabetes...

another QB to the portal, I don't think ND looks but more of another moving peice on the board.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

I wonder what the transfer portal is going to do for graduation rates.
