Notre Dame In The Transfer Portal 2023-2024 (Verified ND Interest Only)

[Luckylucci]

Kris Mitchell would be the #1 name I’ve seen mentioned.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Driskell just said on his live show that there are a few more transfers out from the roster. Some to be announced and some after the bowl game.

 

[jason_h537]

Team that has too many players on the roster will see more transfers. Always count on Driskell for that inside info.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Mike on ISD seems fairly confident that Leonard is coming.

They also posted an update saying they're in good shape to land Mitchell (WR) and Clark (DB).

Roster math guarantees that.

Let's be honest here...Is ND playing the portal game waaaay better than we all thought they would?

More willing that's for sure.

 

[NDPhilly]

Hartman, Harper, and Javonte were all big time contributors. Staff has done surprisingly well adapting to today’s CFB world IMO. Leonard was essentially already picked before season even ended

Might wait til we get some actual announcements (and to get the full picture on outbounds) before declaring victory. But we do seem to be ahead of the curve on some good players.

Which makes sense because our staff hustles on recruiting, and Notre Dame has a lot to offer to a grad transfer in particular. Who would not want to spend a year here?

 

[CanadalovesND]

We all wanted a difference the second time around, and it looks like we may have gotten it. ND may not have been out in the forefront of this all last year, but it looks like they adjusted.

In the end, that's all we could ask for.

The undergraduate conundrum is the still likely the biggest concern, but if ND continues to be a program built on high-school recruiting, and continues to pull in Top 10 classes, there shouldn't be much of a need for it. Every year is different based on roster turnover, but the method for success at ND is going to: A) recruit like hell the high school athletes, and B) use the portal to fill a few holes on the roster.

On the II podcast, Sampson said that he was told the plan is to take 7 right now. They’ll adjust that number, as needed.

Prister suggested that they could land 3 within the next week.

It was also said that 70% of ND players that transferred out were not asked back

I could tell you that they have 3 based on all reports. Mitchell, Clark, Leonard.

Live ISD Transfer Portal Tracker using this tracker, it has 11 transfers out. I am going to exclude Tanona and say 10. Who do we think the 3 asked back were? My guess would be some combination of the WRs and Staes.

Staes, Flores, Tyree

Unless Tobias really started shit, I find it hard to believe he wasnt asked back.

I bet it was Tobias, Rico and a coin toss between Staes/Tyree as they are both easily replaced IMO.

And 15 career catches, 325 yards, 3 touchdowns is hard to replace?

 

[stlnd01]

Maybe I’m naive but I’ve always been under the impression that - barring trouble - all scholarship players at Notre Dame are “asked back” at least until they have their degree. Ya know, the whole “4 for 40” thing that is integral to our recruiting and entire program.

Are we not doing that anymore?

Those days are long gone

No, but Tyree was a makeshift WR and the TE room is loaded. The others have a higher ceiling to "break out" if Tyree was gonna break out, he'd have done it 5 years ago.

nope because keeping unproductive players around on your roster hogging up a spot is akin to giving your program the death penalty

 

[NDPhilly]

Idk if ND is asking underclassmen to leave. Anyone have an example? If Tobias says "i'm thinking of leaving" and MF goes "that might be the for the best", that doesnt really count.

 

[JamIrish]

So we started with taking 4-5(Driskell) transfers and now we're up to 7(Sampson). We're getting closer to double digits.

 

[T-Boone]

That’s while playing at about 10% of his potential

 

[NDdomer2]

we still do 4 year scholarships not 1 year right. so if a player doesnt willingly enter the portal what can the staff do?

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Well, Braylon James and Barnes are both underclassmen. If the "70% weren't asked back" is accurate and not hyperbole then they would fall into that number.

 

[Ricochet]

I believe Nana is one of the guys they wanted back. Quality depth with experience is what ND had in Nana and now they are looking for that type in the portal.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

TBH, I think it's pretty rare that a younger player is literally told to GTFO. I think it's more likely that there is a pointed discussion about their status on the depth chart and the player takes the hint.

There's just no way they forced Braylon out with the state of our WR room.

Barnes might have his degree since he EE'd
