Here's an interesting question. Would you rather go 2/2 on Faraimo and NOB at LB and 0/3 on Meadows/Hines/Robinson at WR? Or 0/2 at LB and get all 3 WR's?

Roberts said his confidence level is up to 7/10 here. Said ND is the leader and Michigan is running in 2nd. Potentially could move his commitment date up to sometime this summer.

Lmao the last few days.

Would prefer NOB to Ivan if we are gonna play that game.

0/2 at LB and 3/3 at WR. I have full faith and confidence in Freeman and his program to be able to find quality LB recruits. WR is a position that we desperately need both quality and numbers, being able to add Robinson/Meadows/Hines to go with Burress and Bettis jr. would've been a 3rd straight year of adding both to the room.

2/2 on LB. The stream of quality QBs that are about to come through ND helps make this decision in two ways:

1. After the year RL has in 2024, WR will want to come to ND and play for Denbrock.
2. ND won't have to spend as much $$ on transfer QBs and that will leave more for WR (and DL too).

I agree. They could easily get Elic Ayomanor and 1-2 Kris Mitchell types in the December window of the portal. It's much easier to get quality WR's in the portal and quality LB's.

All 3 WRs, but it's close.

We need some game changers at WR that can challenge any defense. We don't have that on our roster other than maybe a frosh or two. Hines and Meadows have that potential IMO.

Give me all the studs on defense and always have a top flight defense. Offense is so much easier to manufacture and scheme guys open

Yes vs every team that doesn't have a good/great defense. When you face a good/great defense you need studs on the outside that ND hasn't had. Look at how bad our offense was last year vs the 4 good defenses we played vs the other 9 games. That's with an NFL QB, RB, top 5 pick LT and 2nd round RT.

It wouldn't shock me if Kris Mitchell has less than 500 yds this year. He's far from a Keon Coleman and Coleman had less than 700 yds last year with less depth at WR.

Who knows how things are going to go down. I don't believe ND will strike out on all of them. Each prospect left on the board has some sort of level of confidence from ND reporters, as well as a touch of a gloomy outlook.

Five dudes on the board: Hines, Meadows, Robinson, Faraimo, NOB.

Let's see how this shakes out.

Every day moving forward there is going to be some sort of update that will say ND is likely at the top, or ND is not at the top.

Well the only answer is WR thanks to us having a D level grade at the moment at that position. LB has been solid so far and very good last year. We need all the bodies w/skill at WR possible at the moment.

3/3 on WR, imo the lack of WR/playmakers on offense was what separated ND from clemson in ‘18 and bama in ‘20 in the playoff games

Funny thing is I don't really consider any of the WRs truly game changers. Meadows is a huge projection guy. We are literally deciding between B level receivers or A level linebackers.

ya that’s fair. but i don’t like the idea of counting on the portal every year. portal WRs usually are pretty mid unless they are the underclassmen types that ND doesn’t really go after/get
