2026 Transfer Portal - General

[GrangerIrish24]

That's not what he said.

TP said at this time there's no reason to suspect he would transfer, but he did acknowledge that Burnham was unhappy with his playing time when he got healthy and Young was getting snaps.

There is a "fight to keep him" but there's no insinuation that he's ready to transfer. No need to misrepresent things and if JB stays, have the perception be that "insiders were wrong."

Eville discarded all context to frame a story as negative as possible??? Say it ain't so

II saying Smothers is unlikely, money to be spent elsewhere

Chaz Coleman mentioned 👀

Chaz Coleman mentioned 👀

Forgive my ignorance, but why is this dude so highly regarded? His stat line is modest and he wasn't a five star, but he's at the top of 247's transfer rankings.

Chaz Coleman mentioned 👀

Interesting. On ISD Power Hour they said the word is that Coleman is basically signed, sealed, and delivered to Ohio State.

If you’re letting Burnham, Blaire, Aamil and Schrauth out of here… this is a guy and a position you drop the bag for. We are weak on the DL spare Boob.

If our RB room is what we think it is, we don't need him

Stay buckled, we're dropping Eville off at daycare.

Damn, this is a long drive. Can we stop for food?

Food? Who are you, Driskell? You'll drink your EJ Holland tears and STFU.

You guys keep making jokes but now the sentiment is Burnham is leaving.

AJ Harris in the portal. Cb from Penn State we recruited before he went to Georgia

You guys keep making jokes but now the sentiment is Burnham is leaving.

Literally this:

 

[NDMatt91]

From today's II Podcast:

-They believe that Bowen and Greathouse have re-signed
-Brice was told that ND has "very strong momentum" to retain Sneed
-Brice is trying to get up-to-date info on Shuler and O'Malley is trying to get info on Gray
-ND is trying to get involved with Chaz Coleman, but Brice was told that Ohio State is the clear leader
-Mixed reviews on how much ND is recruiting and evaluating Smothers...they don't want to spend $1M on a RB out of the portal
-Brice thinks ND has a good chance of retaining Schrauth

Brice, O'Malley, and Mentock were asked if the following players will be on ND's roster next year (some are random):
Schrauth: All said yes
Burnham: Brice-No, O'Malley/Mentock-Yes
Transfer RB: Brice/Mentock-Yes (Brice said not of the Smothers ilk), O'Malley-No
Shuler: All said yes
Gray: All said yes
Mukam: All said yes
Scrap Richardson: All said no
Larsen: Brice/Mentock-No, O'Malley-Yes
Sevillano: All said yes (Brice and O'Malley think it's barely over 50%)
3rd string player who won't be on the roster: Brice-Minich, Mentock-Kahoun, O'Malley-Blair (the pod was recorded before he hit the portal)

Regardless of whether he stays or goes, you still are a whiny troll.

 

[T-Boone]

Prister hinting that Burnham might hit the portal. Buckle up boys.

That would suck but I understand the tendency to want some strange.
It doesn’t matter how good the cookie is that you have. Sometimes you want to try another type of cookie.
I even get tired of Tim Tams and will have a scotch finger instead occasionally.

 

[T-Boone]

Came here to say this part.

Once they earn their degree, I think every single ND player is a candidate to leave (yes, all of them), it shouldn't shock anyone, and hopefully we wish them the best if they move on.

It's just a fact that other programs are going to be willing to pay for ND backups/rotation players. Once the 4 for 40 is completed, what are we as fans expecting from them? There is a clock on football and I think these guys should be trying to earn what they can, while they can.

It’s a bit of a sign they don’t think ND will win it all next year.

 

[Kingbish01]

Not gonna lie, just reading the last two pages has me thinking MFMF would be nuts not to go to the NFL while he's red hot. Fuck, who wants to deal with all this from KIDS.

It’ll be the same in the NFL when his star player is holding out for a bigger contract.

God forbid he has a diva WR on his team.

I'd much rather deal with Antonio Brown and his all world production than some of these kids that are honestly MEH at best. Plus it's every 3/4 years for one diva...not 10 middle of the pack players every year crushing the roster.

No wonder Saban said thanks but no thanks. And I bet we never see someone like Urban Meyer on the sidelines again....both those guys just don't seem like they'd be good kissing young dudes asses.

Very accurate headline here…

 

[NDWarrior]

Interesting. On ISD Power Hour they said the word is that Coleman is basically signed, sealed, and delivered to Ohio State.

If so, ND should go after one of the 2 Tulane Edge players - Harvey Dyson or Jordan Norman - if they're not following Sumrall to FL.

Or, go after Tyler Thompson (NC)

 

[NYDOMER]

Wonder why Scrap Richardson might enter the portal. Thought he would stay for at least one more year.

Brice said last week that some Freshman are being asked to take a massive pay cut to stay (at just 5-10% of what they arrived making). My guess is Blair was one of those players and that contributed to him being in the portal, and I could see the same thing happening to Richardson. They essentially whiffed on their top of the board WR targets in the 2025 class and it wouldn't shock me if they grave Richardson a good amount of money to sign because they badly needed WR's.
