2026 ND Portal Targets

[BrooklynDomer]

I still want Onye. Onye, Gray, Brewu, Hughes, Mukam and Mullins/Burgess is a really nice 3 deep. Who would have thought, ND could have considerable talent and depth at both DT and WR!

One of the best parts about this portal class is it really softens the blow for the departures in 2027. If ND went their usual route from the past of just grad transfers, woof, ND could be losing something like 14 or 15 starters next year. Now, you have a scenario where you return your top offensive contributors in Graham, Porter, Williams, and Carr (🤞) are all returning while also returning 4 of your top 5 contributors on the DL.

With how recruiting is going, there shouldn't be much drop '26 to '27 off especially if Carr returns.

If Carr doesn’t return we’ll portal a mercenary like normal. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Portal rankings are absolute garbage.

@Jiggafini19Deux honestly is the IE incarnation of Ron Swanson.

I’ll take our LBs against anyone in the country, and if you put them behind the DL my goodness. IDK if we’ll give up a rushing yard in 2026.

Can't forget our secondary give them all more time to get the the QB

So, I’ve been working like a madman. Doesn’t look like I missed anything since last Friday.

There was some angry guy named Greg who was mad about gifs or something

He was just mad that nobody else was sharing their earliest memories of ND.

His was in ‘77. What’s yours?

 

[ND88]

Guys, I'm bored. We gonna do anything in this portal or what?

 

[IrishInOntario]

Brewu is a far better player with Gray next to him. 1+1 = 3 here.

Think about how much better a guy like that, who commands a double team constantly, makes guys like Drayk, Kingston, Jaiden, Jaylen and Madden. When you're a linebacker that doesn't have a guard or center working up to you immediately every snap because they're preoccupied with the front... That makes your job soooo much easier in the run game.

It's a pretty helpless feeling as an OC when you need to dedicate extra resources to defend against the defensive front and their linebackers can trigger and fill without have to block destruct or scrape over the top.

Ron is crotchety, yet has a sneaky sense of humor—like Jigga.

Dingle was never as likeable as Ron Swanson.

I’ll speak for the rest of the OGs… Jigga is quality people☘️

 

[choo choo]

Still others entering the portal!!!

Wow!!! Glad I made the list.

10 years later in 87..picking up a ND jacket at Burlington Coat Factory...

I’m not even exaggerating. I am literally looking into where I’m staying on the strip January 22-26, 2027

I would like to look into where the team can stay far far away from the LV strip. Kingman Arizona is a doable drive.

 

[RealZibby]

 

[ACamp1900]

Is he heading to or leaving campus?

 

[NYDOMER]

Is he heading to or leaving campus?

He’s visiting tomorrow I thought

 

[ACamp1900]

He’s visiting tomorrow I thought

If true he is probably looking for the ND fans to show love

 

[NDPhilly]

Just when we thought we were done with Drama boys

That would be silly, there are plenty of nice off strip hotels for them to stay at. Can't add 2 hour travel time before games

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

 

[Irish8248]

The audacity of players thinking they can even ENTERTAIN offers elsewhere... I piss my bed in protest!

 

[MrNimbus]

Gray is trying to make me come out of x retirement just to post "you can visit Wisconsin in September."

St. Joe county winter storm warning through 1 pm Thursday. Might be tough for him to get here.
