'23 TX WR Jaden Greathouse (Notre Dame Signee)

[Blazers46]

I was just about to comment how nice a glove that was but figured it wasnt worth a bump.

My first year in college we were sponsored by Marucci and then swapped to Rawlings the other 3. I love my Marucci way more than my Rawlings gloves.

Granted my Wilson A2000 I had all through high school is still the GOAT.

It’s the Marucci Cypress Series. I am sort of a glove collector after owning a Play It Again Sports store for six years. It was pretty dangerous to my pocketbook to hand me a catalog and everything in it being wholesale pricing. I’ve always leaned toward the Wilson a 2000 and a 2K gloves, Rawlings is right up there with them though. NoKona’s are nice to have. My favorite glove is the Javier Baez SSK glove. The Marucci gloves are OK, they never seem to sell well, which is why I have a lot of them.

I didn't play baseball as a kid (didn't play on a team) so I'm learning about the gear as my kids grow into the sport. My kids are still very young (6y-11y) but we went with the Wilson 1k for my oldest and the 700 for my daughter. They both really like their gloves. I told them the 2000/2k gloves will wait until they are a bit older.

I hope you store that glove somewhere nice. That'll be a cool collectible when he's a 2nd/3rd round pick in a year or two.

Bought the Lindy's Sports CFB 2025 Preview mag on a whim at the airport last weekend...they had Jayden Greathouse as the second WR off of the board for their 2026 NFL Draft prediction. Wild, and it would be massive if that came to fruition.

I'm surprised how many people are hyping him up outside of SB, but I guess a big playoff will do that. Would be incredible for him to be a go-to guy for Carr.

Man...when was the last time we had a legit WR taken first round? Floyd is my guess, but he couldn't get his head on straight.

Will Fuller

Damn, good call. Fuller always slips my mind. He had that big breakout year, then couldn't stay healthy at the next level. Had he been able to stay healthy he otherwise probably could have had an awesome career opposite Hopkins when he was elite. Teams could have focused on either receiver and it would have left more one on one opportunities for the other guy.

Great gloves. The 1ks are pretty cool. I always told people the A2000 and A2k gloves will last forever or until it’s stolen. No need for the A2000 until around 12-13.

He will have an even bigger catch vs Miami

I mean, he's the blocking wr on screens. And when you only run screens....

How about making sure we can do something as simple as hand the ball of to our RBs then maybe we can open up the passing game.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Miami killed ND w/ their true freshman slot WR. ND didn’t even use their experienced slot WR.

 

[PutuporShutup]

Denbrock's game plan was so bad. I can't stand how passive at the beginning of big games offensively. Every big game we come out with the most conservative game plan. A&M, Georgia, PSU, OSU, and now Miami. We get down unless our D plays absolutely lights out.

What is Miami's biggest weakness. Their secondary. What did ND NOT do most of the night. Challenge them and make them need to communicate and cover the entire field. Late in the game they busted multiple coverages that helped us get back into it.

Why the F would you not challenge their secondary? You know what's an easier throw than a quick screen, a throw to a wide open receiver that happened multiple times.

Yes, denbrock wanted to give Carr easy reads/throws, but he also allowed Miami's secondary to have no decisions and not have to communicate until late in the game. To me, we had a clear advantage at WR vs their secondary and a very accurate QB. We played into their hands.

Hard to challenge their secondary down field when your OL is getting beat like a drum.

This is true but also how many times did they try play action or moving the pocket?

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Started with easy passes for Car
Continued because of the oline play

our pass pro was terrible to end the drive, and it wasn't good enough throughout the game but it wasn't horrible. Miami played a lot of man. I think we could have scored a lot on them with an open offense. This is one example. The throw to malachi. Great pocket, easy read, doesn't need much time to push it. But also look, faison open deep, pauling open over the middle, he actually threw it to the least open person. My point is, our WRs were significantly better than their secondary and didn't utilize it much.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Yeah my biggest question mark on the game is why not take more shots down field let fields go up for 50/50 balls, I'd rather see those than the stupid ass screens, Screens only work against teams that suck like Purdue or Ball State, not Miami

 

[mrmcgrail]

The screens were rpos and cj kept throwing the screen based off the looks Miami was giving because they had so much focus on love

We went right down the field in the OSU game and scored 7 on the first drive, no?

 

[Domina Nostra]

And our QB threw up on the sideline afterwards.

 

[PutuporShutup]

Yes, but it was a conservative plan that was just executed flawlessly. One that set leonard back just constantly running him up the middle and one that was very easy for ohio state to adjust to. After that drive, ND didn't get a first down until the end of the third quarter.

Even freeman states it, he wants to feel out the other team, see how they are going to defend ND. It was clear going into miami our WRs should be out biggest advantage, yet we didn't really try to utilize them much other than screens. Miami had one of the worst secondary's last year.

Denbrock stunk on so many levels. I hope no recruits were watching this game for offensive skill positions. So many resources underutilized and mostly dink and dunk passing. We are picking a lot on the OLine but Denbrock was the worst part of coaching and player personnel that game. So many weapons and a QB playing like he’s been there before and he still kills us. Why isn’t his ass up in the booth like a real OC sits?

 

[Rocketman84]

Miami killed ND w/ their true freshman slot WR. ND didn’t even use their experienced slot WR.

They have some annoying "psych" thing were they tell themselves instead of utilizing our best players were going to fool the defense by running non running QBs and targeting our 5th guys on the depth chart.

+ Cam Williams, who we might get one good year out of in year 3.

ND had a fantastic season last year and you were MIA and didn’t have anything to say throughout that run. Now ND loses their opener against a top ten team and you are back to spew your negativity? Welcome back…

Screens work best when the defense is really aggressive and coming to rush the passer (ex.3rd & Long) so of course we try them on 2nd & 2! Smdh
