I can't remember if it was on Power Hour or Hit and Hustle, but there was an episode where they talked about the going rate for DT's. They basically said that because ND badly needs multiple quality DT's, they're in a position where they will have to overpay for them, even if it gets to an...

The question I have is who rounds out the 2 deep? Thomas needs to put on 20-30 pounds, which is easier said than done.

Prister touched on Billy and said he just doesn't understand the decision to declare for the draft. He said a former ND OL Coach (almost certainly Harry) thinks it's a bad decision.

Sampson asked some Miami (Ohio) folks about DE Adam Trick, who is currently in the portal, and was told that he'd be a good fit at ND. He didn't say if ND was looking at him, though. Trick had multiple Ivy league offers out of HS and is from Ohio.

FWIW, II thought Schrauth would return and ISD expected him to leave. Hopefully II is getting some bad intel.

From today's II Podcast: -As it stands today, Eric Thomas believes LSU is in the driver's seat for Marsh. "I know have been several reports of confidence coming out of Baton Rouge." -O'Malley thinks there's a team in the playoff (didn't say who) that has a RB that ND might look at. -Chaz...

In last year's portal class, Stanford took 4 undergrad transfers who had just finished their true sophomore or redshirt freshman season. The schools that they transferred from? Colorado, UCF, Idaho, and Texas Tech. The year before, they took a kid who spent 2 years at Northern Iowa. If Stanford...

It's not a done deal, but Eric Thomas thinks LSU is in the driver's seat for Marsh.

VERY exciting

The early word is that A&M and UGA are 2 teams to watch for Coleman.

I'm not sure they can get him through Admissions and if they could, does he want to play school?

4 is definitely a bit much, but 3 is definitely doable. They like to rotate 4 Defensive Tackles and since everyone else on the roster is young/unproven, I think they'll bring in at least 2. Injuries happen, so you need to cover yourself and have an entire 2 deep with guys that you trust. Getting...

Might need 3 DT's from the portal now - 2 starters and 1 rotation guy.

Need to aim for 2 starters with NFL potential

I think it would be wise to monitor the portal in case a Guard who is better than Absher becomes available.

I think the staff will tinker with rotations and be ready for the possibility that he won't play much, if at all. I mean, how can you? He has barely played during his first 3 years. They have to prepare for the worst case scenario, and I believe they will. What that means for Lambert and Black...

If the staff is as high on Black as the beat is, I wonder if they will just keep Lambert at RG and see if Black is ready at RT.

ND appears to actually be playing the NIL game. ISD said NIL was a big reason why they were able to have such a good recruiting class. They've lost very few, if any, top players to the portal, so that shows that they have a track record of paying to retain their top talent. Schrauth is likely...

I have no doubt that ND was willing to pay him whatever to return. It seems like it was his decision. Not gonna lie, it's a bit frustrating that last year's Ohio State team was able to get multiple players to return who were projected to go much higher than Billy, had they come out. Guard could...

If there's no clear timeline they have to do whatever it takes to keep Billy, even if it's an overpayment. They have to prepare for the worst case scenario.
