‘21 AL QB Riley Leonard (Duke Transfer - Notre Dame Verbal)

[NDMatt91]

I would be willing to bet 80% of college football teams will have a transfer as a starter.

I can't remember if it was II or ISD guys, but they said on a podcast that teams will be lucky to have 4 scholarship QB's on the roster by the time the season starts. You take a 4th in the offseason to prepare for one of the 3 QB's currently on the roster transferring in the offseason.

Do we have any reason to worry here? Just feels off.

Did you not follow the last week for ND football? There is plenty of reason to worry!

Exactly what I have been saying. A high percentage of schools will be in this exact category.

If every team has three QBs on the roster in August, where will one-fourth of the quarterbacks be? Not on a roster?

There simply aren't enough jobs out there, considering how many QBs get recruited into D1 college football these days. But this game of QB musical chairs gets silly. Not everyone will have an obvious path to start, and THAT's OK. More of them should probably sit tight and see what develops. Especially if they're at a good school and generally like their coaching staff.

What they should do and what they actually do has been an issue for the last couple years

Development will suffer and Tom Brady will have a bigger axe to grind

If the Irish did indeed pass on Will Howard does anyone know the reason? I think he’s just as good or maybe better than Leonard.

Will Howard likes to throw, and we don't have any WRs, so they just went with the QB that can run.

Oh, you're one of those guys. I wish I could bring you to a holiday party...you sound fun.

Hoping this really is a done deal because Ohio St. will be looking for a new QB with McCord in the portal. I could see Pratt at OSU.

I suspect OSU has their sights on someone much better than Leonard.

Ward or Murphy

Always. It's Notre Dame and at the end of the day we simply aren't going to do the things that most other programs are willing to do to win games. That said, I believe this one has already been sured up on the backend.

Dante Moore, perhaps?

Drew Pyne

 

[Rocketman84]

After who?

Right now Clear #1 is Ward...then Howard/Moore, Gabriel then Leonard.

 

[Rocketman84]

Says you, which is why I said arguably.

So you wouldn't take Ward, Howard, Gabriel or Moore over Leonard? McCall?

 

[Rocketman84]

100%. leonard gives us playmaking ability with his running. it's a shame to have to NEED that in our qb, but it is what it is.

Interesting bc they both have ran for around 1000yds and 19TDs in their career.

 

[pumpdog20]

Well, how about McCord?

 

[T-Boone]

McCord is in portal?

Arch M?

 

[pumpdog20]

McCord is in portal?

yes

 

[T-Boone]

Could ND go after McCord? He would be better than Hartman was .

He was an EE so he might have his degree.

Id rather have Leonard.

Idk if you put Hartman in McCord shoes I think he might have been a Heisman finalist.

McCord seemed very meh for someone with those WRs.

 

[Lberry]

I'd rather shart than take McCord. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends with a top 15-25 school, not top school.
