We don’t go from the shitshow that DelVaughn and Chansi left us with to an OSU-caliber WR room overnight. Most programs take a player or two of JBJ’s caliber - for depth, special teams, etc. Not to mention the impact his dad might continue to have on the program.

This isn’t the same as when we had Bon Jovi on the roster - Bettis has NFL pedigree and might legitimately produce.

Unless we’re giving him the spot of someone who is way better, I think some of us need to pump the breaks and accept that we should take whatever volume we can at a position of need.
OSU caliber WRs?! I’ll gladly eat crow with loaded mashed potatoes but 2024’s WR room needs to show it before being anointed OSU caliber. That’s a huge jump from recent production. Pump the brakes

We finally get a day when crus has some real free time for board interaction and it’s filibustered by the left hand koon sock after the right hand roasted up crus’s cockels in the first place. I remember being someone who kinda missed koon..was in on the bring him back jokes. But i can admit I WAS FUCKING WRONG AND THIS SUCKS.

Landry ran what he ran. You can find it on film from the draft. Was he banged up? Yes. Did any one believe the hand timed, con job 4.51 from his pro day? No. That's why 11 other WR's went before him at #63. No one accused him of being a burner and he did nothing but produce in college and the NFL.

Anyways, my sources say he ran a 4.7 in HS so now what?
So you expect bettis to develop and contribute or you’re just saying “so you’re telling me there’s a chance?”

Just glad it's over.

Now we need some speed at WR with next commit(s).

Can anybody point me toward some junior year highlights? I’m only finding stuff from his soph year.

I like Terry, but I'm a bit underwhelmed with Burress and Bettis Jr. I suppose if 2/3 or all 3 don't hit we can always just recruit over them, so to speak, via grad transfers in the portal during their time at ND.

Agree. Terry at least brings something different to the table

Unfortunately, I doubt either of the Juniors will be likely transfer prospects as I'm sure their parents want their kids to get that ND degree first and foremost

So they may both be tying up two scholarships at the position even if not getting PT

Otherwise I'd be more like you and just assume they would get portal'ed and not sweat it too much

Very likely the staff is going to take five WRs this year, so even if some are meh on Bettis Jr, it’s not like he’s the crown jewel of the class.

Welcome home Jerome ☘️
