Cal loading up at WR too:

 

[ab2cmiller]

Article talks about local wealthy farmers are bankrolling NIL for IU.

Granted I don’t know any farmers that farm huge acreage, but every single farmer I know is land rich and cash poor.

 

[Dale]

Good for Washington. Good for the schools.

 

[Ophiocordyceps]

Good for Washington. Good for the schools.

Fully committed has a different meaning these days.

 

[NDPhilly]

lol. Looks like they will be paying $5M+ for someone after 26.

Michigan fans seem to think he sucks btw

 

[NDPhilly]

Do we need OL depth

 

[MacIrish75]

Do we need OL depth

If we don’t sign him based off a highlight tape filmed by his old man outside their one-car garage car port, we aren’t a serious program.

Screw pulling a semi. THIS is pure OL.

In the driveway, IN THE DARK.

OL af

 

[NDhoosier]

Do we need OL depth

No, we do not need any OL. Wouldn't be surprised if ND loses another OL to the portal to be honest.

Do we need OL depth

This is my favorite video of the portal! The “yeti” !

 

[ndgreg]

I've been a cubs fan since the 70s. They finally won the world series and I felt good, but it was bought. I feel a championship by ND will feel the same.

 

[ndgreg]

Boo me or not, it doesn't feel the same when you buy a championship.

 

[ndgreg]

Especially if you are a true old school fan.

 

[NDWarrior]

Especially if Brewu goes to Tenn or OSU, maybe the staff can target one or both of these guys, along with the ECU DT.

Ikenna Ezeogu (ISU DT)

Tunmise Adeleye (UNLV DT)

 

[tirishman505]

Especially if you are a true old school fan.

A true old school fan would know that teams “bought” titles as soon as they started handing them out.

That is true, but the players were always the same. You didn't have to look at the south bend Tribune back section to see what player made a play the first game. You already knew his name and number.

 

[FireJeffQuinn]

ND players are still largely the same. We are looking at a single-digit number of transfers.

Why? If ND wins a Championship in 2026 19/22 starters (86%) could be home grown kids that the staff recruited out of high school and developed. Most of their backups in the 2-deep were developed internally as well.

LOL, you have us getting a DT.... I needed that.

I get it. I think our team is great! We are all ND fans with tons of heart. Go IRISH...scorched earth 2026.

 

[Blazers46]

Miami - Ol Miss…. A master class of DL/Defense and Kickers.

 

[IrishInOntario]

Oh we'll get one... But I wouldn't dare guess how good that player is at this point.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

I don’t know what to tell you other than you may need to switch your allegiance to Navy b/c every P4 team that wins a natty bought players to one extent or another.

Absolutely a great lineup. I wouldn't want to coach against that. I'm just saying how this portal is changing everything. That's all. GO IRISH!

 

[Bluto]

That is bad ass!

I will personally throw in $175 to help sign this kid!

Who’s with me?!?

Yeah I'm all IRISH douche.
