ND's Talking Heads ... The good, bad & ugly

[dublinirish]

Yeah I mean based on @Huntr post it makes complete sense now. If the family didn't like the way the beat was covering Pyne all year then its not surprising the family didnt tell them and ESPN broke the news. Especially since Thamel reported it before the staff new.

yup folks on II podcast were asked and they said the same thing. Thamel breaking the news will get the most exposure. They did joke sarcastically then that Pyne's transfer decision won't get the same level of attention

Pyne's dad is in sports marketing. It's no surprise the family would aim to maximize exposure for Drew.

Cool. Now he can ride that wave of exposure to a backup role somewhere else...

^ This right here

So they weren't happy with the maximum exposure he got this year at ND?

Loy said some huge news coming out for ND in the next couple weeks. No clue what that's related to but figured I'd drop it here. Only things I could think if is qb, transfer, NIL, or recruiting related. Maybe someone coming back that's not expected but that seems least likely.

Aneyas Williams is most likely committing next Friday. But, maybe there is something more too

earlier he did say that ND is still grinding and going after some big fish

The only "big" news I can think of is Tommy leaving.

We're all expecting a transfer quarterback, NiL, and recruiting related news. Would things we are expecting be considered big?

you are assuming that Loy wouldnt hype something up you already expect.

For a program of ND's size and magnitude that's like a meteorologist getting on the news and saying "it's going to rain in the next couple of weeks, so be prepared."

That's some clickbait BS right there if I've ever seen it.

Has Keeley committed anywhere yet? I know, I know. I’m just playing.

Also, early signing day is precisely two weeks from today.

On Brandyn Hillmans Commitment live stream, Tom Loy hinted at some big time news coming for Notre Dame in the coming weeks any idea what?

Are you referring to the same as this post? Sounds just like Aneyas Williams if I had to guess.

EDIT: just watched, actually sounds more like a 2023 top secret prospect given the discussion

I don't consider this huge news everyone knows Williams is headed here, if I had to guess I bet it's going to be a QB transfer.

He was talking about the Hillman commitment video. At around the 10:00 mark, Huffman asks Loy what's left with ND recruiting for the '23 class and at one point Loy says, "there's a lot of moving parts behind the scenes that we're not ready to put out, but this class is far from done. There's some moving parts on the back end and I think there's some good news that can potentially come before signing day."

So Loy definitely hinted that there could be a big surprise commit for the '23 class.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

It's a 2023 target

i hope its NCST QB Devin Leary.

I see him say “good news,” but people are saying on here, “big news.”

There is a difference between good & big in my opinion.
It could be the Davis kid who is committed to Arizona that it’s being hinted ND is in on?

 

[Dale]

A QB transfer being part of this “class” would be technically true but a little deceiving

Davis just got a Bama offer, too. ND fans might not treat it as "big news" because of his rating, but would certainly be good, to your point.

 

[NDFAN2008]

If it's 2023 I'm going to go with Keon coming back in this class or a DE commitment. That's the on area of need this class is lacking. WR/RB we are not taking anymore, TE we aren't, QB we aren't, OL we aren't. LB we aren't. So that leaves DE or S/CB?

 

[Dale]

Gotta let Keon Keeley go. He ain’t coming.

That's exactly right and he did use the word "good" and not "big" but if you put into context all the things he said and how he said it I think it's fair to conclude he was implying something better than just good. I could be wrong. He could have been overselling some mildly positive news.

Loy shot down the Keon stuff last night. Said barring last second change of heart that ship has sailed.

 

[arrowryan]

Where is Loy saying all of this?

Yeah it'll probably be another Armel Mukam situation where the "mystery recruit" turns out to be a good player, but not the future NFL Hall of Famer everyone thought we were getting when we were rampantly speculating.

Pyne's dad is in sports marketing. It's no surprise the family would aim to maximize exposure for Drew.

Imagine that school’s surprise when they realize what they were sold!

 

[Old Man Mike]

I for one would NOT like it to be staff-related, even if it is uncomfortably close to signing day and all the staff/athlete connections that such implies. So, I like the interpretation GOOD news rather than big news.

Keeley or GTFO
