2025 Transfer Portal

[LifelongFan]

I don't think Angeli is winning a real QB competition at all. The Denbrock playbook would be too limited with him. I do want to see a real competition, but winning over everything.

If Carr were healthy I'd agree with North Dakota. We really need to get off the transfer treadmill with QBs. If he's not, I do not want to go into a season where our best options are Angeli or Minchey. No offense to either but this is big boy football and the expectation should be to compete for a championship every year.

 

[Fbolt]

I believe ND would be hurting themselves if they kept going to the portal for a QB unless it's for an experienced back-up this year-even if Carr is hurt. The message to recruits would not be palatable.

Why not Minchey? Herbert? Angeli?

 

[IrishLax]

If we pulled Klubnik I would lose my mind. I think he's a stud and would murder teams under Denbrock.

Yeah there are very few dudes I’m “sold” on but I was beyond impressed with how he played against Texas.

I like Riley and all, but are we here because of him? If Angeli was our guy this year, I'm not sure how the season goes. But ND shitkicked almost everybody.

I want ND to compete annually or at least routinely, but a lot of it comes down to trusting your guys. What's the point in recruiting good QB's if we keep bringing in transfers? At some point you gotta let your guys cook and if they fail, then bring in a guy. I have zero issue with bringing a guy in if our guys can't do it.

I think we will have an easier time bringing in good dudes if they believe they will be given an opportunity to play.

EDIT: I think we are largely on the same page. No intent to criticize your post at all. Want that clear.

Doesn’t seem to Hurt Ohio State or Oregon

If angeli was QB this season I think there would have been north of 50 sacks. Leonard escaped a lot.

Our O line room has absurd talent. Our QB's should have more time. I'm afraid Georgia may be a nightmare for our offense.

 

[ndfanatic78]

So nothing new to see here for those who are actually looking for new information.🤣

 

[IRISHDODGER]

I don’t think Angeli or Minchey would’ve been the answer this year b/c we didn’t know if the OL could be effective & the WR corps ended up being less than ideal considering the high number of drops & no true #1 threat.

Next season, I’d be more comfortable if we had to go w/ one of those guys at QB b/c the entire starting OL could return along w/ experienced depth pieces. With Love running the ball & a better WR corps, it should be the formula for allowing a seamless transition for a first time starter.

No issue my man.

My perspective is that while it sucks for the QBs in the room, particularly Angeli, I would say that it would be even more unfair for the rest of the team if we had the opportunity to take a gamechanger in the portal and didn't out of a sense of obligation or fairness. Thats what happened in MF's first year, and the whole team suffered for it.

I don't like what the transfer portal is doing to the sport, but it's hard for coaches to demand that everyone on the team make personal sacrifices toward putting team glory above all else while refusing to take an upgrade for the most important position on the field because of some sense of obligation to two upperclassmen.

Or Texas.

 

[MacIrish75]

I think there’s some romanticism around recruiting QBs and allowing the guys who have “paid their dues” to be next man up…

…but nobody was upset when Beaux Collins or Kris Mitchell supplanted Jayden Thomas. Is anyone upset Mitch Jeter took a spot from Zack Yoakum?

Nope.

Y’all only hold that energy for QB when you want to use the portal to get better at every other position. Why should QB be any different?

Put the best squad you can on the field every year. If everyone else is playing the game, we should be, too.

I'm upset Collins is still playing in front of thomas.

I agree. If you can get a Klubnik or Milroe, you take him. No more Rileys or Hartmans though.

Big game hunting only.

 

[Kingbish01]

Or Texas.

Or LSU and Oklahoma

 

[LifelongFan]

Klubnik or bust for me. I just don't really trust Milroe enough to not blow a couple games a year.

 

[NDFAN2008]

No way in hell Klubnik comes here I think if we land anyone it will be Ewers or Milroe. Clemson has two studs every year Freshmab WR’s better than any WR we have

But here we are with ND still playing and Clemson sitting at home. Maybe Klubnik realizes he’s gone as far as he can there and sees ND as a step up.

 

[stlnd01]

This is where I'm at. If we can somehow steal Klubnik, I'd support it. Not sure I see anyone else out there I'd really rather go with over the guys we have in-house. Ewers/Milroe maybe.

 

[Irishman77]

Just QB. And just this year. We got guys on the roster and they deserve an opportunity to compete for the job at least one time.

If they are on the roster, they obviously have an opportunity to compete for the job lol. Field the best team possible every year!

I’m gonna reserve judgement on taking a QB in the portal until I see who we can bring in. If we can land
-2-3 WR’s Fields, Mosley, plus a depth guy
-2-3 DT 2 difference makers potential starters and 1 depth guy
If we can land the above I’m fine rolling with Angeli, Minchey, Carr Georgia won 2 titles with a walkon but they had studs around him.

How much confidence is there in Mosley?

Someone on here a while back said he’s got a good source who said he’s likely coming and his brother in a 2026 kid who has on high in his list

I should become a Pribulla insider like Windhorst for LeBron.

I had this the morning after he announced he was leaving State Penn.

Alas, there's probably not the same market value for Pribulla info.

While I don’t care to dip into the portal at QB again, if we can get Milroe you do it and don’t look back or ask questions. Can you imagine him and Love running Denbrock’s system?

 

[Crazy Balki]

Yeah there are very few dudes I’m “sold” on but I was beyond impressed with how he played against Texas.

Can't lie, dude balled out against Texas.

Klubnik, low key, had an impressive season. Over 3600 yards, 36 TDs to only 6 picks along with a respectable 463 yards rushing.

Another one that I'd like, though he'd be more like Leonard. A guy with great potential, but hasn't shown the consistency. Maybe Denbrock can get it out of him. I'm honestly leaning towards Klubnik surprisingly.

Mosley is an odd case. I get that he put together a solid freshman year, but what does that say to guys like Cam, Gilbert and Saldate? He was good but the dude wasn't THAT good. It's not like a Malachi Fields situation, where he is a one and done, super impact guy. Mosley has work yet to do, and while I think he can be a good one, so can Cam, Gilbert and Saldate.

Of course, there's the alternative, that I hope isn't the case, that they think one might bail. I really pray that isn't it.
