    2024 Spring Practice Thread

    Hansen reported that the media has been given the spring practice schedule but were told not to make it public. Apparently, MF wants to cut down on the number of people who hang out around the practice facilities waiting for the players to finish practicing. He wants the players to be able to go...

    2024 Spring Practice Thread

    I don't think we should forget what happened in the Louisville game last year. The OL was by far the biggest issue - 81yds rushing, 3.7 YPC, 6 sacks, 8 QB hurries. At the time, it certainly looked like physicality was an issue, but you might be right that that might not have actually been the...

    '21 MN OL Joe Alt (Notre Dame Signee)

    The draftniks who project Alt to go to the Chargers have taken that into account and believe they will move him over to RT. They think Harbaugh wants a dominant OL and drafting Alt to go along with their pro-bowl LT will go a long way towards that goal.

    '21 MN OL Joe Alt (Notre Dame Signee)

    I've seen most predicting he will either go to the Chargers at 5 or the Titans at 7. Trades could definitely impact where he'll be taken, but if the Chargers are still in the #5 spot when the draft starts, I think there's a strong chance they take Alt since they don't need a QB and they need to...

    '21 NJ RB Audric Estime (Notre Dame Signee)

    Agreed. It's what happened to Kyren after he ran 4.65 while weighing only 194lbs. His draft stock went down despite his game film which showed elite traits everywhere else. Teams passed on him and he dropped to the 5th round. As we all know, he's a pro bowler now. Unfortunately, reactions like...

    '19 GA LB JD Bertrand (Notre Dame Signee)

    It's only being reported as an "undisclosed" injury. Yesterday, the guys on the II podcast speculated that they think he is planning to put all his energy into running a good 40 at ND's pro day like Tranquil did several years ago, so they don't think his injury is serious.

    '19 GA LB JD Bertrand (Notre Dame Signee)

    The LBs went through the combine drills yesterday, so yeah, he won't be doing the rest until pro day. He hung out in sweats with the rest of the LBs including Marist while they went through drills. By the way, besides doing the on-field drills, the only production drill Marist participated in...

    ND's Talking Heads ... The good, bad & ugly

    Josh Pate has been on a roll lately. He basically comes out as an ND fan in this short video:

    I'm going off of what 247 reported yesterday in this post. Here's the pertinent quote:

    ‘18 NJ DE Javontae Jean Baptiste (OSU Transfer - ND Verbal)

    Glad he ran a good time but the dude can't catch a break this offseason. He got sick right before the E-W Shrine game with 105-degree temperature which forced him to switch to the Senior Bowl where he had to play 20lbs lighter due to the illness. I hope the NFL scouts consider that and focus on...

    '19 TN WR Jayden Harrison (ND Grad Transfer)

    That may have been true in '20 and '21 (he had a pretty good Fr year in '19) but in '22 he was making tough catches and getting open but many of his opportunities were squandered by Pyne who often didn't even look for him on deep routes.

    General team info

    I think one main reason for this is, for some of the conferences, there might be 2 or more favorites to win the conference and so those 2 or 3 teams will get better odds because winning their respective conference means an automatic bid even if they don't project to have a better season than ND...

    College Football Playoff Expansion?

    I now realize all of the recent ND bashing must have been what prompted this Josh Pate Tweet from yesterday (several of the replies are pretty good too):

    That didn't last long... It looks like there will be more playoff scenarios to discuss soon...

    2025 Master Thread

    To me, the biggest problem with complaining about 3 stars in the '25 class is that it's WAY too early to do so. We're just under a year away from the final rankings. The individual rankings will be changing several times between now and then. For those who say the recruiting services generally...

    College Football Playoff Expansion?

    The potential "bye" situation is actually a psychological exercise. Technically, either no one gets a bye or everyone gets a bye depending on how you look at it. Even though the playoff wording is not explicitly stated this way, CCG week is the defacto 1st week of the playoffs. It's essentially...

    The problem there is, how else would you recruit guys like that? Sure, their dads are rich. They can afford it, but they all are/were well-regarded recruits with multiple offers. It sounds great to the staff and the fans to just assume each would forego a scholly and pay their own way, but you...

    '25 MS QB Deuce Knight Auburn Verbal Ole Miss ???

    You have a weird brain. Show me where I was upset because someone saw something that I don't.

    It's not insignificant when you keep repeating it and are using that incorrect data point as part of your dumb evaluation.
