Yep, all four teams have transfers starting. Mendoza (transferred from Cal) Beck (transferred from Georgia) Chambliss (transferred from Ferris State) Moore (transferred from UCLA)

Yeah, ISD didn't seem to waste a ton of energy on him. Certainly a player worth pursuing, but he isn't somebody ND should lose sleep over losing. Keep in mind, Jared Dawson was the 83rd ranked DT in the 2025 portal class. ...I'm going to reiterate, because it bears repeating. Dawson was the...

He coached under him at Pitt for 7 seasons

Massive. MASSIVE hire.

From Matt's comments in his article, it sounds more like they're targeting him for nickel. Frankly, that'd be a good. I think more DBs need to be open to playing nickel, because that's becoming the default formation in the league practically.

Singer wrote an article for top candidates and Partridge was at the top. If we land him, that's a massive win for Freeman. Partridge was excellent at Pitt, and seemed to churn out excellent pass rushes on a yearly basis. Even going back to his Wisconsin days with Ash, this dude was developing...

Yeah no. These games are atrocious, boring and borderline unwatchable. And SEC are losing out on further money by getting their ass kicked. So congrats on the extra couple million by shoe-horning bad teams into it, you just lost your daddy station that 10x over with these dumpster fire matchups.

Also gotta love the fact that we're going to have FOUR rematches in this CFP. Ratings in the tank. Tulane-Ole Miss Oklahoma-Alabama Ole Miss-Georgia Indiana-Oregon ESPN must be loving this. You deserve it.

I'd say the portal guys are part of the equation, but I wouldn't rule out a guy like Mullins or Sevillano. Seemed like Mullins was already ahead of Mukam, despite being a year behind him. Pretty clear indication that between transfers and guys behind him jumping him that he didn't have a path...

Every day, the committee looks stupider and stupider. Every person who laughed that ND shouldn't have been in and watching this unfold look like complete idiots.

I don't think it can be understated how good Bain and Mesidor have been this year. The sack numbers don't encapsulate it. You get Boubacar and Young to that level in 2026, you're cooking. And both are absolutely capable of being that good and thensome.

It would suck, but them tearing through the CFP would be fun to watch.

I mean, that's true and it needs to be addressed, but it being week 1 with a new defensive coordinator on the road is a lot more forgivable than what we're witnessing right now.

That happened in 2023. The landscape has changed drastically in just 3 years.

I think we're at the point where Freeman is going to put names on the board to land in the portal and the question will be how much they offer to land them. We're at the point where academics are basically a non-factor. If the admin wants to play semantics, I guarantee Freeman is going to walk...

Sucks, because I think when healthy, he's a much better player than he probably gets credit for. But those moments were just few and far between. Dude just couldn't stay healthy.

I'd say 1-2 is more than fine. I had been hearing that ND was in a good spot to land Ibirogba from Wake. That'd be a good get for the DT rotation. Maybe go after Devan Thompkins from USC too. I think you only need 2 for certain if Onye isn't given a waiver, which I don't see happening, because...

Good Better Best

Yep. Also have to keep in mind, those retentions were basically juniors turn seniors, not seniors turn 5th years like Billy.

I think if you don't go after a TE in the portal (and I'm not saying they should or shouldn't), you need to be absolutely sure what you have in Flanagan and Flanigan. I think Jimmy has a ton of upside and can be absolutely elite, but what do you have in Cooper, when he barely played this year...
