Anticipating the Brewu commit

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

Partridge had a vague post using the Denzel "boom" gif

 

[dang227]

Did the Pitt kicker commit anywhere yet?

 

[WildMan1]

I’ve seen some vague information out there that this ND portal class continues to grow after Brewu.

Is anyone actually getting legit intel about this?

Obviously a K is needed.. another DT would be great but outside of that we’d be butting up to some talented depth.

Someone on 247 mentioned another dt out west. They are speculating it’s one of the guys from Oregon.

Another guy on 247 (JoeMontoya) says that Graham is signed….. those in his circle worry about him succeeding academically.

O'Malley said on the pod that a source told him there are still 4-6 targets. Less clear if that number includes Brewu and Graham or not, but even if it does, that is 2-4 more targets out there.

You get the help you need and apply yourself. Get after it.

 

[irish2104]

Graham signed with ND?

 

[Notre Dame Joe]

Like positive you have Covid? Or the good positive?

I am positive that Brewu needs his own thread.

 

[lcaps20]

Graham signed with ND?

Hasn't been announced publicly, but yes per a guy on the II board with connections

 

[DCK_1981]

I could see Graham being signed but giving it a day or 2 to give him his own spotlight since Porter was earlier

If he’s going to put us through that I don’t even want him!

Give me Brewu, Graham, K, and another surprise DT with staggered announcements tomorrow and my office is going to be covered in champagne

11 Warriors: 2026 Transfer Portal Part 28

VaBuck1 39 minutes ago
Nothing earth-shattering here, but talked to someone in the know today. The coaches have worked to try and keep three players who went in the portal: Scott, Graham, and Delane. OSU thinks Graham is going but they haven’t stopped trying. Delane is probably gone too (and you can see how the Safety room is set up for 2026 now). Scott is the interesting one. There aren’t starting spots for Matthews, Sanchez, McClain, the two new Safeties, AND Scott. Can they keep him in the fold? He was great on special teams this past year.

Special Agent D... 45 seconds ago...
The only guys who left that I think the staff would have preferred they didn't were Scott, maybe West, and Graham/Porter(who both make sense with the gravitational pull of Hartline now gone and schools offering them big money with the primise of being a clear cut #1 or 2 guy.

Hopefully sans the stompings

Hopefully sans the stompings

r/TheDarnold posting about CROOKED TILLERY was hilarious though.

St Louis kid so have to assume Mizzou will be involved

 

[NDWarrior]

Allen trieu says his comp is jerry tillery

Yeah saw him come in yesterday, but wasn't sure how ND viewed him since he's a little more in the high potential bucket but what caught my attention is his 6'6" 329 size. Maybe now having Partridge on board is helping a lot more w/ evaluating high potential targets.

2008 is losing his god damn mind right now

 

[BeatSC]

What were we doing this time of year before the portal mania and NIL? I was dealing for post partum Xmas depression. By the time this wraps up we can start a short countdown to the spring game. Please don’t take that away from me! It’s the only time I can watch so many ND players and also not worry about winning and losing. My favorite game of the year!!! Hate the running clock second half!!!

Assuming those are the 42-43 players that will contribute the majority of reps to Notre Dame in 2026, that may be the most talented team in South Bend since 1993. A little young at some positions, but deep as hell, with future NFLers at every position.
