Isaiah McKenzie........kind of.....

It's not the right thread for this though. Did you watch the video of Bubba? My god, if that is legitimate competition, he is cooking those DBs by 10 feet sometimes. He looks athletic AF and like a potential gamebreaker for the offense. His acceleration and COD looks elite to my eyes. Just...

My n=1: BIL went to Dartmouth for a different sport. I think it was a great decision and he received an excellent education for very little money. He works in a high income, high intensity job and his salary/bonus structure would make most people's eyes water. He's a hard worker but his...

My track record might be the worst when evaluating DL prospects so TIFWIW but I really love Vallejo. Seems like a bigger Howard Cross. I don't know how explosive Howard was coming out of high school but this guy is already a very large human being who moves well.

That was very discouraging. I saw a player who rarely set his feet on throws, who often would 'throw and pray' under duress instead of eating it, didn't see the field well due to the pressure. A player can transform from senior year to college but that makes me want to monitor the QB commits...

I don't understand what you're arguing. ND chose the 7th game to start a new meaningful series. They wanted to keep USC but USC isn't committed to keeping the series going. Besides USC, what are the other meaningful rivalry games they are losing? I think ND wants independence, even if it...

I'm bumping this because the IrishIllustrated guys had a question come in about whether we'd see a 2nd year jump under Landow, similar to how we see it with coordinators. (great question btw, if it was one of you) They did mention that last year already looked pretty good with the depth...

Fair but I think it's perhaps focusing on the tree(s) and missing the forest. ND has a seat at the table. They are currently stabilizing a very volatile moment where everything is moving towards a duopoly that weakens everyone not contained within. If the current playoff discussions get...

I remember yelling at the TV when Wilbon from "Around the Horn" made it a racial thing that ND was firing Willingham after 3 years, the only coach to be let go that early. I was screaming, "He doesn't recruit!!! Look at it his f$%*ing classes!!!" I felt like I was taking crazy pills and then...

The benefit to ND is that it reduces the burden of needing to go find games to schedule now that the SEC and B10 are supposedly eyeing 9 conference games per season. This isn't as one-sided as you portray it, I'm guessing ND has more say in how these games are counted than is being leaked...

Visually, the young man looks put together. If he can keep that grind in his mind for a full year, we might have a helluva sleeper on our hands. His compact, athletic build really reminds me of McCaffrey, (aesthetically). Both in the 5'10, 195ish range. McCaffrey had more long speed but...

Name another coach who joined the staff and hit the ground running this fast..... This is truly best expected outcome for the '26 class and he has us involved with big time prospects in 27. An incredible addition, I hope he stays a few years because this is fun!

OMG, one of the best commitment videos in that it was all saying thanks to his family and support structure. It's exactly what you want to see from someone who is so gifted and in such a coveted spot. I hope he has a massive senior season and an incredible career at ND.

If you say cunty things, don't be shocked when we call you out for it. Tatum happens to be my nephews favorite player, grew up in StL, they've gotten to interact with him a couple times during warm-ups, including him taking the time to autograph his jersey. Everyone I know from the St Louis...

If he says he likes OSU right now, then Thomas is not picking the Irish.

Something that can't be supplied on a stat sheet barring 50/50 ball wins-losses. But agreed, he has body control, knows where he is in space and never looks timid. Really reminds me of Tate in how he catches. Tate was a force after the catch and I don't know if Fitzgerald will be the same at...

I don't think he'll have superstar testing but he comes down with the ball when the QB throws it 2-3 seconds late, and that happens a lot in his film. He's a 50/50 nightmare, strong hands and attacks the catch. Other than K. Finley, I don't know if you rank any of the other targets ahead of...

That is wild. He's long-armed, has some flaws in his technique and still got under it and completed the rep. I've never cleaned that much, that is a shit ton of weight for someone who doesn't train olympic lifts consistently. He has some serious explosive power, hope he joins the '26 crew.

Agreed and it's the most exhausting part. Each side vaguely or not-so-vaguely hints at how the other is unhinged. Both are unhinged, both have jumped the shark; one side masquerades as the intellectual's party, while ushering in some of the most unscientific thought we've seen in hundreds of...
