2026 ND Portal Targets

[rtrn2glory]

Hopefully he's spent the past few days working on his hips

 

[NDMatt91]

Is he good?

15/17 last year. His only 2 misses were from 47 and 54. 6/8 from 40+, including a 50 and 53 yarder. 7/11 in 2024 with all of his misses from within 40 yards.

So, get the giant DT and call it good?

Yep!

 

[Helvan]

Such a great scene and perfect for the recent weeks!!

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

Peak portal vibes

Future motivational speaker. I'm feeling the winning vibes.

 

[peadeam]

If you haven’t Watched Grahams highlights from HS yet do it. Holly balls. Unless it’s just not translating to college he’s going to be fun to watch

 

[Irish8248]

One of Purdue's only source of scoring? I feel like MFMF took that personal after the last week of wrestling coaches

 

[IRISHDODGER]

So the Purdue kicker is confirmed?

 

[BeatSC]

And Drew Pyne!

Haven’t totally given up on Schmidt, but seems like he’s going to have 2 years to get right mentally. He was a top kicking recruit for a reason.

 

[LifelongFan]

Number one overall class with recruits and transfers. Great haul from Martin, Freeman, and company. Get the giant from Oregon and this should be a top CFP contender.

Mostly if Keeley and Young take the leap, I have honestly no idea how anyone passes on this defense.

He was a kicker recruit, a top punter recruit

Nobody ran on the defense last year. If the passing defense takes a leap with better pass rush, could be best defense in the country.

I really can’t stop staring at this lmao. We aren’t just number one in aggregate points, we have by far the highest average, which would only go up with Gray. Stuff I thought I’d never see with ND.

 

[ACamp1900]

Ok, I’m happy, everything from here is a great bonus,… couple sides:

1.) now that the dust has cleared I’m just curious why they kept thing under wraps with some, like obviously Keeley and maybe others, why wait like they did? Just a honest curiosity.

2.) listening to Irish Insider and even during the Brewu commitment they both ( idk who they are, don’t follow these guys often) gave ND little chance to win it all next year… interesting listen. Are they always pump the breaks types? Because Im never a title thumper, yall know me by now, and I legit think they have as good a shot as any other team in the country, so it was a bit surprising to hear them kind of politely shrug off that idea.

His issue was physical.

I can’t believe I actually thought for one second this staff was going to fumble this portal.. smh

They need their talented underclassmen to step up at WR, TE, RB, and OL + get solid play from Brewu + Gray / Onye / young guys. On offense, These are all truly highly rated guys who with great coaching should take a jump.

this team is certainly a title contender, especially in a world with no juggernauts.

Brad admits in the comments he was just engagement baiting with his bed wetting tweets whomever called the other day

Agree. We would need a lot to go wrong to not make the playoffs next year. And by then the young talent will be fully seasoned, a la Carr, Johnson, KVA this year. Im as optimistic as I've ever been.

Nobody in the entire country has a roster and coaching staff that measures up to this team. Multiple NFL caliber talent players at every single position. Elite coordinators, elite position group coaches, and the number one head coach in the country at keeping them focused over a (mostly) cake schedule.

This is the best ND team in a generation, and in all likelihood, will be the best one we will see for a long, long time.

He has a leg!

I hope he has two!

That fuckstick deserves the same amount of attention as Bruce Straughan. Why does anyone care what some random dork who paid Elon for a blue check has to say?

Oregon has the higher player rating avg., at the moment. 92.41 vs. 92.21

The last stroke shall be the sweetest,…

And we suck again...

I have stared at 247 enough to know that sorting the average column has and continues to have us second behind Oregon in average player talent. Maybe that changes if we get the DT.

Still amazing, sorry to nit.

He's not Bruce level... At least in every post he seems to cite where the info comes from. Bruce pretends like he's an insider.
