KVA limited to start camp

Burgess, Porter not expected to be 100% to start camp

Micah Gilbert the favorite to start at boundary?

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

I am both giddy that we are weeks away from camp, and terrified how much faster time goes as you get older.

Is that your quote, Loy’s quote or MF squared?

 

[EvilleIrish]

No Porter is concerning.

My guess is that ND primarily runs a trio of Faison, Graham and Greathouse. Harkens back to 2015 when ND ran Fuller, Brown and Carlisle.

I would bet on Gilbert starting, to start the year. But not to finish.

Given Gilbert's history, not even sure he makes it out of camp.

This doesn't seem to be the quote that Eric Hansen wrote down unfortunately.

 

[IrishInOntario]

No Porter is concerning.

I've always operated under the assumption that he wouldn't be ready until some time in season. I always suspected that the knee injury was a little bit more serious than all parties were letting on, but that behind the scenese everyone were always comfortable with an extended timeline, despite what was being said in public.

There really is no reason to have to try to have him ready until the week leading up to Miami in early November. If he's not ready then, keep patient and try again to have him ready for the first playoff game.

The crazy thing about the way college football seasons are structured now, and our intention to play, what, 16 games, having talented guys start playing mid-season feels just fine.

 

[NDFAN2008]

No Porter is concerning.

Not really he won’t be needed till we play Miami

 

[NDFAN2008]

Gilbert will start don’t overlook Fitzgerald tho

 

[greyhammer90]

Whelp, I started watching Wisconsin's games from last year tonight. Must be late July

 

[NDPhilly]

Much excite

 

[Rocketman84]

No Porter is concerning.

He wasn't expected to be back quite yet just had his procedure late in December and I believe August-Sept was his expected time frame after missing all of Spring camps.

 

[JamIrish]

In past years I think looking at a defense of
DE Keeley
DT Gray
DT Mukam
DE Thomas
LB Asa
LB Sneed
DB Sanders
DB Zackery
DB Golden
S. Long
S. Talich
So many of us would be excited about the defense and talking about the talent. With the addition of a 5 star DE, Mullins, Burgess, and Dixon on the DL...and Faraimo at LB. We'd be excited to see the 5 star corner and 5 star safety making an instant impact. 5 years ago, none of us could fathom that those guys would all be BACKUPS and Depth pieces. So much talent, depth and experience on this defense. Can't wait to see it.

Great news on KVA. O’Malley has said on several occasions that the defense will get a boost in October/November, when KVA comes back.

The local media said something similar about Traore when he was coming back from his ACL last summer. Didn’t think he’d be full go for week 1, etc. That ended up being wrong.

Freeman said he hopes to have him ready for week 1 and that KVA is doing everything to make sure that happens.

And considering his injury occurred in the back half of November, that’s probably best case scenario.

Over 9 months out from ACL… seems reasonable

Said he wouldn't be 100%, didn't say "no Porter"

Was literally posting this. Said he is 100% for some things but not all routes as well

A handful of players starting fall camp limited isn’t exactly earth shattering news
