My take is that both want their degrees. From everything I've heard, neither has a serious chance of playing professional football. Both are probably getting bare minimum (if anhthing) in Rev Share, while ND honors their scholarships and let's them be ND students. They're essentially glorified...

There has long been talk that Porter would require an undisclosed surgical procedure in the winter / spring. This isn't new...

I thought they'd take one, rather than both and hold out for Snowden. Very interesting if they do take both. Huge injection of long, versatile talent.

I'm just being an ass. Singer is fine. He's just one of those info-nerds that sniffs his own farts when he has information that others don't lol.

I'll just be surprised at the end of the day if the academics don't sway him back to OSU. I think his playing time would be similar at both schools, OSU is just a much easier path academically for him. If I'm wrong, good for him in deciding to challenge himself!

Let's be honest... Singer strikes me as somebody that literally wet the bed until he was about 14. He absolutely relates to the bed wetters in the fan base, in a personal way.

To me it's pretty simple... If he comes in, locks down the starting position and is as productive as you're hoping he will be, you sit down with him next year and negotiate a raise that both sides can live with. If he comes in and he's not productive, but wants a raise, you evaluate whether or...

Those are guys I'm really interested in heading into this week.

No offense intended to you personally, but the average person does not exist in a market that is so commodified and competitive that there skills (even projected skills) are highly valued. Ultimately, the value of your work if what somebody is willing to pay you for it. Therefore, if Porter...

Yeah, that's a real possibility. They don't want to lose all of their depth behind Smith and Iniss and Graham has legit chance to be in their top 4 this year.... Academics are still still a concern as well. Remember that he couldn't qualify for ND out of high school. It would be a big change for...

Agreed. I also think that if you're looking for young guys that you project to "plug-n-play" you look for 2 things. 1). Guys that you have a previous relationship with and had a strong evaluation of in recruiting. Ideally a kid who visited you as a recruit and who you got a strong feel for as...

Just for a little context, rumors around OSU were that Porter was looking for a jump in salary from around $600K last year as a freshman, to approximately $1 million this year as a sophomore, despite barely playing. If that's true, it's means ND was likely willing to pay something along those...

No hopium required. They're going to land a couple guys. I can't tell you exactly who they are, but the staffs knows it's a position of weakness just like we do and this is their lone chance to fix it this year... They'll have multiple people working the back channels to find a couple guys.

They're going to bring in a very high upside Portal class man. It's up to the staff to see if they can develop them though, because they've chosen to go with a mix of production and potential, rather than paying top dollar for outright production across the board. We're going to see if it's...

I'm going to guess 5 guys over the next 24-36 hours... 6 wouldn't shock me though if they can convince Brewu to sign.

ND runs are notoriously complicated passing offense. Hopefully Porter picks up on it quickly in the spring! He's certainly going to come having been well coached.

Yeah... I'd say that Kevin Austin had the same type upside. He just couldn't put his life together enough to realize it. Dude had all the talent in the world though. I also think Chase Claypool was a certified monster. When motivated to be a game changer, that guy was nearly impossible to...

Big, physical kid for a guy as young as he is. Plays the game like Davante Adams. Uses his body well... Not a super burner, but if he has a step on you he just out physicals you for the ball and he's going to beat you in the air.

Before I head to bed, here is updated lost of wants heading into the second week of the portal tomorrow... WR: Quincy Porter (OSU) WR: Mylan Graham (OSU) CB: Jayden Sanders (Michigan) CB: DJ Mckinney (Colorado) NB: Smith Snowden (Utah) DT: Francis Brewu (Pitt) DT: A player not yet in the Portal...

We will. You don't have to worry there. Who they will be I'm not confident in, but there are too many options that would be interested in leaving their current situation for a raise and chance to play for Marcus Freeman, in the spotlight that Notre Dame brings. It doesn't feel Like it when...
