Did i miss the confirmation of Schrauth returning? I thought the last smoke around him was that it was more likely for him to go to the NFL than comeback?

Sorry just joining in, long morning, does this mean Wagner is gone?

I did not realize Schmidt was the #1 HS Punter, not Kicker. Feels obvious IMO you just give him the punting job and find a transfer kicker. Find a walk on punter. If Schmidt turns it around kicking wise then great but it saves face confidence wise to just let him do what he apparently does best which is punt, not kick.
Can we wrap the transfer kicker in bubble wrap. 0 for 2 on out transfer kickers making it a whole season.

Me neither until I told one of my coworkers (whose son camped at ND w/ him & got to know him) how bad he was struggling at kicking FG. She said she was surprised that he’s even getting an opportunity as he was more known for his punting. I agree with you, that’s the route to take. And no more kick-offs either…just punting.

Not yet but scribes covering ND seem to think so

If Onye gets his medical redshirt, the continuity at all levels of this defense is going to be insane.
Was he bad last year? Serious question. I never heard his name much. That’s a good for for an o-lineman.

He had as bad a game as you can have week 1, and wasn’t too much better week 2. The reality is our oline and dline weren’t ready to play to start the season.
After Billy went out, he was by far our best lineman, had a strong 2nd half of the season.

I think he will be ok. I am not sure he will be great though.
If we have any transfers they have to figure it out in camp. If they can’t come out of camp on the same page unlike this year Rudolph needs to be gone. You will not have success in this modern day of football if it takes 3 games to get going. And that is one reason we are sitting home.
Buckle up, boys

Damn, wonder if this has anything to do with him sucking at kicking footballs.

No italics needed.
You could honestly argue that this transfer makes the kicking room *less* in shambles.

I would say the bolded, FOR SURE. I’d like to think Golden and Sevillano.

Agreed on Sevillano. He showed up last year in the playoffs, why would he be better two years into the program?

While recruiting has been part of it, they’ve had horrendous luck / bad development with guys like Vernon, Houston, Gobaira, and Tyson Ford who you expect to be seniors / 5th years this coming year and contribute if not start. Literally all of those guys were 4 stars. Burnham is another guy who underperformed his top 100 ranking.
