2026 ND Portal Targets

[IRISHbluehen]

Admissions better be ready to approve everything ASAP. Add/drop deadline is the 20th.

He would probably just enroll this summer

Suffice to say a lot of posters here aren't in management. In management you learn about budgets, resource allocation, a department +/- margins real quick. In sum you quickly find out that budgets are real "things" To those not in management budgets are a flexible concept that NEVER really need to be squared.

Corporate analogy probably cuts the other way. If a great opportunity comes along, you do a bond offering, equity offering, bank financing, asset sale, etc.

In this case, if can’t miss talent comes along, NIL funds aren’t set in stone.

Tionne Gray visiting Thursday. It’s the only visit currently scheduled.

They don’t have his ranking, but 247 has him as a 95 rated transfer. Would put him in like the top 15 overall, and I think 2nd highest DT

 

[RudyVerse]

Once he's in, his 95 portal rating would make him the 3rd highest rated DL in the portal. Unreal close to the 2026 team if so.

Hazelwood Central is only 30 minutes away from Christian Brothers.......better put out the Bat Signal to JLove to give this guy a call.......

 

[Irish du Nord]

I believe they are still temporarily closed to remodel after a fire.

Seems like a good, upside play and a large man. Said he got better as the season wore on - 230 or so snaps.

Seems like Oregon had quite a bit of talent on the interior and got Bear Alexander to get it together.

3 years of eligibility?

Thought for sure it would be Brewu today

 

[Punky]

So what about Brewu? Indiana come in hot?

 

[ACamp1900]

So did any news or gossip on Brewu drop today?

A four minute gap between Sampson posting and your post on IE. I think you can get that down to 2 minutes if we sharpen our focus.

 

[Irish#1]

This may be the wrong answer, but no. Bringing in multiple CBs and WRs, and allegedly trying to get another RB already has us teetering on the “what the hell?” Line with current players Id imagine.

But I could be wrong

MF has already shown he's a communicator and can sell ice to an Eskimo. I trust him to be able to explain and sell the benefits of the additions to the roster. The team culture he has built should be able to handle it. There will be a few that don't like it and may leave, but I'm not worried about some seismic shift.

I’m slacking.

Was looking at deals on Amazon for new bedsheets.

Loy posted they were supposed to announce at 10:45 but ND hasn’t yet

Graphics guy on a syllabus week bender??

In senior year I brought wine in a Coke can to my environmental science syllabus day. Surely the kids today would say I was full of rizz.

i think it’s somewhere in the middle. The school is working with a fixed pot, the rev share funds. NIL funds are theoretically uncapped, but those need to come from people the school doesn’t control. So you could in theory go to a wealthy alumni and say we really need you to pony up another $5 mil or whatever, but you don’t control whether or not you get that money. For the most part, Freeman and co have to assume they’re working with a fixed budget (much like a department head at a big company probably couldn’t unilaterally choose to do a bond sale or whatever no matter how good an opportunity looked).

I think they might call you cringe for uttering that sentence.

 

[IrishEyesAreSmiling]

What’s going on with Brewu????

 

[IRISHbluehen]

What’s going on with Brewu????

From everything I can gather, he and Graham are signed but just yet to be announced. Would assume they announce them by MF's PC tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

Then Tionne Gray visits Thursday and we wait for a kicker. That'll almost definitely be the conclusion of the class.

Winter storm warning for the South Bend area starting tmrw 7am to Thursday 11am. Don’t be shocked if a few visits are delayed.

agree, and to add to this DEPTH is way more important than top end talent. Safest bet in the world is that there’s going to be injuries on the offensive line, especially if we want to play 16 games next season, we need to preserve the two-deep.

As far as rocking the boat, I think that goes position by position:

QB: You could take a 1-and-done GT backup without rocking the boat
RB: too many high-ceiling guys waiting their turn.
WR: could still take a big bodied, upper-classman Fields-type
OT/OG: I think you could take a 1-and-doner starter, but probably shouldn't
TE: : Same

On defense, after what we've already taken, I think only DT can really handle more bodies without causing issues. (There has to be a nickel on campus with all the options we have!)
