Yep. A lot of this will depend on Monds' expectations. If he wants to play no matter what, he'll likely spend one frustrated year at Notre Dame and transfer to somewhere that will give him a shot based on tools alone. If he's willing to be patient and develop, he could still be great. We'll see.
Monds will come to college having played basically one season of high school football. It's not ideal. He has all the tools, I'm glad he'll be healthy, and 7v7 is fine and good. But actual experience playing real games matters too. I wouldn't minimize it.
I think he actually transferred to better competition his senior year
Kid of our thing brother.
At Notre Dame. Agreed. Great point.
Notre dame isn't QB charity
No, it's not. But if Champ believes he should run with his current highest valuation before new legislation passes, he should take what ND is offering with the expectation a re-negotiated salary will be coming after his first year. Then he'll continue to renegotiate while getting world class coaching + S&C and be prepared to challenge after his sophomore year.
I'm saying ND should put that NIL into someone who isn't injury prone
The reduction of a decommit risk is enough for ND to bring him a year earlier.
Let's just send him out to the beach to rehab with George Whitfield Jr. and his broomsticks
Right and I'm saying that's frustratingly shortsighted but common thinking. Keeping him and developing him for a year is all it'll take to know if he is willing to stick it out and continue developing or if both parties decide to separate.
Malik Washington, CJ Bailey, Pitt QB come on down
yuck
huh..
