He seemed really confident when he finally got his shot. Happy for him. What a weird WR class that ended up being.

So funny how much hype there was in the 23 class with Braylon James, Flores and Greathouse.
KK and Faison outshining all the "studs"

KK is a really good route runner and he’s technically got 2 years left after this year

He has this year, FWIW lol

But your point is well taken. Not sure what is going on with JG in 2025 but he was our best pass catcher late last year and it wasn't close.
Both are averaging exactly one catch per game, Greathouse for more yards per catch, KK with a 1-to-0 edge in TDs. If healthy, I'd take Greathouse.

This is a weird thing to split hairs about. Greathouse has played in more games than KK and had way more opportunities.

KK Smith balled out Saturday, which is a neat thing. He had a bigger impact in a football game against NC State than JG has had all season.

JG is a good football player. He is banged up, and the WR depth (namely Pauling and Faison) may have limited his impact so far. No one is saying JG sucks.

Good for KK to get out there and take advantage of an opportunity provided to him. What a boon to our WR depth once JG gets back, one hopes!

You just LOL'd at how much better KK was this year. It seemed strange to me, so I figured I'd toss out some basic info and voice support for JG. No biggie to me.

I spoke on it in the Rice thread, but I noticed 5-6 of our DL/LB room taking pictures with Preston Zinter after the game. Zinter stayed on the field for the Alma Mater.

Culture.
I think it’s great that these transfers still want to be part of the team in some form or another. Too bad they gave up on their ND degree.

They’re not giving up. They’re taking an opportunity to get playing time at another school because they still want to play meaningful minutes of college football. Which they most likely were not going to get at Notre Dame. They can still go back to ND and get their degree. Should Angeli and Minchey have stayed to hold a clipboard? These guys want to compete.
