'22 WA WR Tobias Merriweather (Notre Dame Signee)

[LifelongFan]

Good luck to him. I hope he gets a good degree and gets the kind of development he somehow missed on here. No clue why he didn't pan out.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Good for him.

It's a great academic school.

really?

It's because he can't catch and is less interested in football than necessary at the highest level.

Or maybe he had a really toxic coach who wouldn't even acknowledge your presence in the room if he was mad at you?

 

[Henges24]

Would have been surprised if Washington would have taken him. See ya in a few years kid.

Smart educational decision.

 

[NDohio]

No. It was a sign Freeman had lost control. And 'he ain't it', etc. etc.

We should spend the time digging out posts and cross-linking to call out the worst offenders but I'm not that mean-spirited. I'll call people out in the moment but let them move on afterward.

We have had some grade-A, shit-post whiners over the past few months. We'll likely have some staff turnover still but I trust Freeman to navigate and hire excellent replacements. Our roster looks stronger than it did a year ago. ND's FUND collective is hungry to compete.

There is a lot to be excited about as we move into the next phase of the Freeman era.

I guess Put-up finally Shut-up?

I know you typed it as a possibility but you're saying it almost as a fact.

Does that make P5 WRs drop balls that hit them in the hands?


edit: and just to be clear, it's ok if he gets a fresh start elsewhere. Stuckey apparently was a prick to the WR's and played favorites.

But there also has to be a level of competitive desire from the player that didn't exist with Tobias. I do not wish him any ill will. He has every chance to excel at a place like Cal.

Idk if you've played a sport before but my track college coach was very toxic. It affected my performance and I eventually left the team. It was a complete 180 from my experience in high school.

It's statements like these that are the poster child for

"Tell me you never played high level sports w/o telling me you never played high level sports"

 

[Irishnuke]

Will leave Cal with blue hair and a septum piercing.

 

[SoIll]

 

[NDFAN2008]

He’s going against nobodies on CAL defense

 

[Blazers46]

Imagine that WR room…

 

[Crazy Balki]

TM always had the talent, it's the hands, consistency and showing up when it matters parts where he fell short.

I’m a little shocked he didn’t use any one foot hops to create separation at Los

 

[NDQuebec]

I'd like him to come back...

 

[MrNimbus]

He didn't look locked in to me. Maybe some personal issues. I wish him the best though.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Jordan Johnson could cook those defenders

By showing up, I'm inferring you meant effort and desire, right? Kid had some of the worst body language from my view.

Hope some maturity helps him reach that potential, but I wouldn't bet on it.

 

[Valpodoc85]

Some people do better when challenged others when encouraged

 

[T-Boone]

One has to wish the best for him I suppose but it’s probably going to be a bad look if he leaves and suddenly starts doing really well.

Yes it would be

No one will notice because who watches Cal games anyway?

 

[NDVirginia19]

Who was the last person who left the program and actually did very well?

 

[IrishLax]

Will Yeatman? Greg Olsen?

 

[INLaw]

Who was the last person who left the program and actually did very well?

None but a few that did decent that at times we coulda used. If quinn carroll is playin a 7th year for the rowboats..coulda used him at tackle. Moala preseason in nfl could have helped. The d lineman on duke’s team last year could have helped. Jalen Guyton ended up in the nfl. A sold 5-10 in thr Kelly years some of which maybe could have been kept but weren’t that in hindsight could have helped.

Jake Kelchner

5 Star Philure Jurkovec started for not one, but TWO D1 teams after he left!
