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

[Crazy Balki]

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.

Barnes was a junior, and given he was an EE, very likely he leaves a degree in hand and is a grad transfer.

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

Driskell's count came before the unexpected underclassmen announced to transfer. Staes, James & Flores opened up another three spots.

 

[CanadalovesND]

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.

The staff definitely decided to move on from NaNa. They are looking for a starting caliber quality player at Big End. No disrespect to NaNa, but he was not that guy. He's a rotational dude that can provide 20 snaps per game.

They want one of the young guys (Ford, Vernon, Gobiara) to provide that role next season.

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

I guess the hope is for the staff / athletic program is that the kids love of actually playing college football in the end out weighs thier desire for the ND degree and they believe that in almost every case the player that is "asked" to leave will in fact do so.

However, this is a very good question.

folks this isnt hard. current roster + incoming recruits were greater than 85. Transfers weren't only expected but a necessity.

Oh shit

Oh shit

LET’S GO!

Big big fan of how Freeman and ND has approached the portal and NIL so far

 

[Luckylucci]

So, we're trading 500 yard WR's?

 

[CanadalovesND]

Now that's what I'm talking about.

for the record....post 418

beaux collins is certainly more explosive....but numbers wise, yes

 

[dublinirish]

very interested to see if they want Mitchell and Collins or just one of them

 

[NumbersGuy0520]

This was my first thought.

Given the volume of departures, it should be both.

As long as some of these visitors turn to enrolled players.

He's a career 14.2 yards per reception guy. That's more explosive than who?

They play different positions. It's not a one or the other type deal here.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Sampson said they want two.

I'm not sure I like that but most everyone (including ND it seems) would disagree.

But NOT a mass amount from 1 position (WR).

 

[Rocketman84]

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.

How? By constantly running him up the middle! He was used poorly but showed plenty flashes.

I find it very hard to believe we would push out James (or even Merriweather for that matter). Would be a radical departure from the way Notre Dame has done things as recently as a year or two ago, with a true freshman at a position of need.

Maybe we didn’t try that hard to keep them but that’s different than being “not asked back.”

O'Leary's recent twitter follows:

Maxen Hook, Toledo (not in portal; yet) - would be a 6th year player
Savion Riley, Vanderbilt - redshirt sophomore, first year starter at Vandy (48 tackles)
Dillon Thieneman, Purdue (not in portal) - true freshman, Big 10 Freshman of the Year, from Westfield, Indiana

Thieneman would be an unreal get

No doubt. Just responding to folks acting like our beat reporters are dropping bombs with the number of transfer expected. Anyone can do the math on their own.

They don't have a choice at this point

 

[NDWarrior]

Almost no team does...

 

[NDFAN2008]

Thieneman please!!

 

[Free Manera]

Sampson said they want two.

And that was before Flores I think. Could be 3 now.

Ooof as if we weren't hated enough already. If this becomes our norm lol. Look out.
