    '24 MA OT Guerby Lambert (Notre Dame Signee)

    Might be why they ain't coming. Air fare ain't cheap, and they'd still need to get a ride from the airport to South Bend.

    '24 MA OT Guerby Lambert (Notre Dame Signee)

    I think it has more to do with logistics. He was relying on Traore to drive him up to South Bend for the B&G game. Traore was going, but it sounds like he can't make it. Makes sense for him to make it to BC, since that's like 4 miles away from where he lives.

    I know that was the general consensus, but things change. It's very possible that ND cooled on Jerod and Jerod decided to lean towards Michigan, while Jacob is still on good with ND. Them going to the same school was the plan, but like I said, plans change. Of course, that's as of now. ND...

    '24 IL DL Justin Scott (Miami [FL] Verbal)

    Not really. I don't think Scott was ever slated to attend, it was just a possibility. Umeh and Lambert suck, but it sounds like they were logistical problems. Lambert was going with Traore, but Traore isn't going to be able to make it, so he doesn't have a ride. Same with Umeh. We also added...

    I don't think Umeh being unable to visit this week is indication he's slipping. Sounds like there was logistical problems that forced him to cancel, since he couldn't get a ride. Apparently was hitching a ride with Traore, but it sounds like he's not gonna make it either. (Correction: That was...

    2023-24 Notre Dame Men's Basketball

    They don't really have a choice at this point. College sports is changing and ND can't simply ignore the reality that maintaining the old barriers on undergrad transfers is no longer an option if you want to legitimately compete. It doesn't mean you have to go full USC and load up on a dozen...

    '23 MO RB Jeremiyah Love (Notre Dame Signee)

    The issue wasn't Adams' vision. The issue was that Adams took too long to get going. When he got to top speed, he was near uncatchable, but his initial explosiveness wasn't good enough, and he was fairly stiff. He was very much the anti-Kyren. Kyren lacked the long speed, but he had the...

    '21 TN OLB Prince Kollie (Notre Dame Signee)

    You can only get a medical redshirt if you miss a majority of 2 seasons to injury, not 1.

    '24 MI QB CJ Carr (Notre Dame Signee)

    Yep. I'm not going to sit here and say Carr has the most upside or is a flat out top 10 overall player, but there is zero reason that Jayden Davis is a top 30 overall player while this dude is barely in the top 200. Film to film, upside to upside, it's Carr every single time.

    '24 MI QB CJ Carr (Notre Dame Signee)

    On3 has had some really bad rankings in their short life, but CJ's ranking has to be up there as one of the most bafflingly awful. How they think there are 11 QB's better than this kid is beyond me. They're seriously giving ESPN's recruiting service a run for their money in terms of ineptitude.

    Spring Practice 2023

    Great write-up, but I'll save the panic on offense for if it persists into fall camp. The defense normally has the advantage over the offense in spring under regular circumstances, but you have to add: - New guards - New QB throwing to new receivers/TEs. - New offensive coordinator, QB and...

    IIRC he suffered an injury last offseason when he dropped weight. That's on top of the injury he had in 2021. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me if the weight listed is not accurate. ND's roster updates have been spotty at best. They've updated some and not others. If you look at...

    '24 KY/CT DE Jacob Smith (Kentucky Verbal)

    I can see that, but like 23 mentioned, ND is going to take a HUGE DL class. I've read 6-7 is the potential number. Right now, ND has Wafle in the fold. They're looking really good for Bryce Young and TJ Lindsey. We'll see what happens with Scott but things look good there too. Very possible...

    Spring Practice 2023

    Merriweather switching to #5 is looking very appropriate. He reminds me of Tee Higgins. Just a ridiculously smooth athlete for his size. Styles looks to have regained some of that explosiveness we saw as a freshman. Don't know why, but he looked pretty stiff and slow last year compared to 2021...

    '23 TX S Peyton Bowen (Oklahoma Signee ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

    Awful news. His entire fiasco of a signing day was a migraine and a half to endure, but him choosing OU will help him be near his family when they really need each other. Can't even begin to imagine what the parents are going through. My aunt and uncle had to endure that when my cousin died...

    '22 TX RB Jadarian Price (Notre Dame Signee)

    He was also 31-32 when going through that injury/rehab. Unfortunately, our bodies tend to heal and recover A LOT better when we're 21 than they do when we're 31. I'm learning that the hard way.

    Calling it now: ND has announced that Ronnie Powlus has un-retired from football and will be starting with the 1's on Saturday. In addition, they will be moving Joe Alt from LT to placekicker. Gerad Parker will announce that he is splitting playcalling responsibilities with the backup waterboy.

    Spring Practice 2023

    Flores was heralded for his route running. It shows. He's not a burner. He's probably a 4.5-ish level receiver. Good, not great speed. But he wastes absolutely zero movement in his routes. Same way that made Kyren such an effective RB it makes Flores an effective receiver. He's likely to be in...

    Spring Practice 2023

    Really impressed with the interior DL size. Mills at 296. Rubio at 302. AK at 312. Onye and Ford at 292. Hope they can get Cross up just a tad. Even having him at 285 and primarily at 3T would be ideal.
