2025 Transfer Portal

[irishff1014]

Georgia Tech’s Haynes King to play in Birmingham Bowl, plans to return in 2025

King was asked if the grueling last month-and-a-half of the season made him consider sitting out the bowl game to further rest and recover after all he’s been through.

I'm getting mixed signals reading this

Why would anyone want to coach college football?

At least in the NFL for 90% of the time you know your roster.

 

[Giddyup]

Surprised no one is spearheading a campaign to bring the transfer portal to sane levels. Guess the administrators don’t care.

 

[Dale]

I really think it’s Milroe. Denbrock has coached against him. Buchner was also his teammate. Rees his coach. Fits the offense. Cache to convince transfer WRs no matter how poor he is at times. Would warrant top $ type billing. Also a one year rental so may be approved by Carr.

Every other realistic name seems hardly an upgrade or a fit (besides Ewers as mentioned).

If you're on the coaching staff of a college team and you don't know your roster you shouldn't be allowed to coach.

 

[LifelongFan]

I can get the lower levels being demolished, but not only should Notre Dame know their roster. They should control it like an NFL GM with a carte blanche to pick and choose players as they see fit.

A few of my thoughts about Milroe:

-If Milroe is looking, it would seem to me that it’s because Alabama wants to move on. How many teams would be considered an upgrade over Bama or offer him that much more money than them?
-While I’m not overly impressed with him as a QB, I think he a dynamic player that could play a role similar to Leonard for us. I think we would have to expect a couple of dud performances out of him over the course of the season.
-Lastly, and most importantly to me, if we’re wanting to pay Milroe $4M I doubt Carr/Minchey are sticking it out. I would give the coaches the benefit of the doubt on that decision, but it felt like this was our best chance of having an internal candidate step up as a starter that could lead us to success.

Agreed.

But I don't believe Ewers is an upgrade or a fit based on production, style of play or disposition.

With the transfer portal you don’t know who will leave. You might have an idea but their is surprises every year.

If we are paying 4 million I want DT’s and Wr’s.

I think there is a strong chance we play Milroe in Miami next year

 

[NDFAN2008]

Miroe isn’t worth 4 million at that price roll out Minchey

 

[Dale]

$4 million reflects market inflation not talent. Revenue sharing will put the 2025 roster at a significant greater price than 2024 no matter what. The number really means little IMO

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

The way it makes sense to take a QB is if you think Carr is the guy but you can’t bet on him yet because of his health cutting into prep time.

You would also need Carr to be OK with this move.

 

[TorontoGold]

That's every profession though. If Coaches are that butthurt about movement of employees they should try working in any other industry.

 

[LifelongFan]

Milroe isn't a good NFL prospect, but with how the NFL is ruined that doesn't mean he won't go in the first round.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Milroe would be a great fit for our offense. Is he more inaccurate than Riley was to start the year? I trust in Denbrook if he wants him.

The power run game would be unstoppable with our projected 2025 o-line and stable of NFL projected backs.

 

[Dale]

Milroe in 2023:

66% 10.0 YPA, 23/6 TD/INT

Leonard in 2022:

64% 7.6 YPA, 20/6 TD/INT

Milroe in 2023:

66% 10.0 YPA, 23/6 TD/INT

Leonard in 2022:

64% 7.6 YPA, 20/6 TD/INT

What are the stats for both in 2024?

Leonard in 2022:

There’s an argument to be made for who each one had as targets, but they seem similar to me.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

There’s an argument to be made for who each one had as targets, but they seem similar to me.

Can you also make the argument that the defenses they were facing kind of offset the receiver talent?

 

[CanadalovesND]

From Driskell:

"They are NOT recruiting a QB. Agents are saying ND is on their QBs to use ND for leverage money wise. But ND is NOT going after a QB."

He posted this yesterday, and hasn't moved off of this statement.

 

[NormND_44]

Rare Driskell W. There is no way ND is paying 4M for any QB currently in college football

 

[NDPhilly]

We’ll see. I would pay $2.0M for Ewers. Otherwise, I’d rather spend the money positions Of need.

What are the stats for both in 2024?

Milroe was on track for the same season till Venables and OU. Finished w/ 10 INTs. Leonard basically the same season since NIU, handful of less TDs due to the slow start.

 

[Dale]

$4 alone as a number means nothing. Is that $4 out of $20? $30?

Expect the starting QB to be a decent percentage of the roster. What did Leonard and Hartman make compared to total budget?

 

[NDFAN2008]

Cooper Barkrate Harvard WR had over 1,000 yards to is year will have 2 years of egilbity left is being followed by Pete Sampson and Irish Sports Daily also follows the ND football page could be a nice piece for depth

 

[DillonHall]

We can disagree. Just like the old saying goes. If you are gonna talk the talk you better walk the walk.

Lol completely disagree. You've never heard the term "coach speak?"

The follows go back to when he was being recruited out of high school.

I dunno what industry you work in but most professional companies that employ any sort of skilled workers could never sustain turning over one-third to half their workforce every year. It's insane.

No experience in government contracting, I see.
