there is significantly more than a sliver of hope Graham comes on board.

The sliver was that MF would dole out the signatures over the week. Any chance he is saving one for the first quarter of the national championship game?

Nobody’s had a better month/transfer portal than CJ Carr. Golly.

He deserves it.

How the hell are we supposed to wait till the start of next season. This is going to be crazy long wait. I hate wishing time away but is it the end of summer yet.

I half jokingly told my contact that I will pay the difference in what Mylan needs to sign with ND over OSU in exchange for him to appear at our annual golf outing fundraiser.

I really, really should have put a cap on this offer.

How long till OSU guys throw a wet blanket on the Graham was so important that Day was personally involved in trying to keep him reports

“How about that process now”

I think the staff has shown they are well prepared to be nimble and aggressive where they needed to be as they worked their way through the portal period. I’d guess their sheets were generally exposed to minimal urine activity.

They could literally close the briefcase right now, let the leprechaun try and kick extra points and FG all year....and still win a Natty!

Remember late last week when people were unironically calling Notre Dame an “unserious program”? I remember.

Trust the process gentlemen.

I still think they were caught off guard by Marsh + Mateen at the beginning of the cycle but they did an incredible job of pivoting.

Forgot about Mateen. His loss.

Junkhead · Jan 13, 2026

Amazing. But I kinda hope we still get Tionne Gray and a Kicker. Something about a 6-6 336lb dude jamming up the middle of the line of scrimmage makes me moist.

I wouldn’t disagree, especially being the first single portal year but in the end, it‘s how you adjust to adversity and finish the process.

Supposedly a kicker is already locked up, hopefully that rumor is accurate.

Two things can be true: they got caught with their pants down..........and then totally redeemed themselves with what they ended up pulling. Outstanding job from the staff

I think they might have been caught off guard by what IU was willing to pay Marsh and said fuck that we can get former 5 stars for that cash. Then that’s exactly what they did.

Based on MFMF words during the season I would expect they recruit a soccer player as a break glass in case of emergency as well.. Keep him on the roster, don't care if he shows up, go live 24/7 soccer until there's an injury concern. Once season starts we can't address it and can't leave anything up to chance again

They absolutely made mistakes, but they fixed them quickly. I think bringing in Sanders and Bryant probably helped immediately, too.

Understatement of the year.

Gentlemen the ass kickings that are going to occur this coming season make the bouts at the Y look like girls fighting on the playground.

Riddickulous · Jan 13, 2026

For a while it felt like ND was never going to get it done at WR. The 22-23 groups were some of the worst in recent memory. Crushing the portal 2 years in a row feels incredible.

ACamp1900 · Jan 13, 2026

Honest question,… who does the powers that be have ranked number 1 to start the season,… Notre Dame, Texas or other? I’d be shocked if we aren’t in the top three and honestly think they might have us at 1
