DL they pursued a Wake Forest DE, likely headed to OU instead. They are pursuing an Utah State DE, no real info what’s happening there. They are pursuing Anthony Lucas, mixed reports if they have a real chance.

I think that’s about it but we also found out a safety Thomas Harper is visiting by him tweeting it so it seems transfer info is a bit of a toss up.
Only thing noticeable defensively is an Okie st safety.
Thanks gents!

This Edge guy just hit the TP, but he's 2020 class, probably making it tough to transfer.. He did have WF and Duke offers out of HS Jordan Burch

Seems like Lucas is a steal at $55k. Surely we can do a little better than that to secure a commitment.

as an FYI thats not what it actually costs to get these guys. It's just some On3 internal algorithm.

South Carolina’s Jordan Burch has also entered the portal. Don’t know if he’s a legit option academically but was highly recruited.

I took a look at a SEC message board and they feel that Oregon will be a player for his $ervice$.

Biggest takeaway for me is that Freeman and ND are at least being active in the portal and pursuing kids. If you have scholarships to use or kids on the roster you know arent helping you get where you need to go, there is nothing to lose with pushing hard in every direction for upgrades.

Not sure if this is what you mean but I think we have to be very very careful about processing guys out, even if they “aren’t helping get where we need to go.”

Not just because it’s a skeezy thing to do, which it is, but also because so much of Notre Dame’s recruiting pitch, and what differentiates us from other powers, is about the degree and the 4 for 40. It helps us draw a lot of good players.

And that becomes a lot harder pitch to make credibly when you’re pushing kids out after three semesters because they aren’t good enough to improve the team. It’s fine to recruit over them (including transfers). No one is owed playing time. And if they leave on their own, that’s fine. But you only have so many scholarships, and pushing guys to transfer before they graduate, to make room for newcomers, is playing with fire for us.

I think he may mean bringing guys in to foster competition (Hartman vs Buchner) or bringing in a guy like Joseph to fill obvious voids. I don't think I have come across any (serious) poster that doesn't believe in the guaranteed 4 year scholarship.

Correct, let them see the writing on the wall and transfer on their own, but elevate the talent level in every position group room.

Interesting Harper played nickel at OKst. With Bracy going to the draft maybe it was a obvious choice in the portal. Harper can play two different positions of need if asked.
