'15 ID OL Tristen Hoge (Notre Dame Early Enrollee)

[Luckylucci]

That'd be really disappointing. He seemed like an HH recruit who'd be fine waiting his turn. That family was all ND during his recruitment.

The problem is that he got passed up. There's not path to him starting. Personally, I'm surprised more kids this late in their careers don't simply wait to graduate then grad transfer.

hasn't he always been running as the 2nd team C? Who passed him up?

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Yeah this is a surprise to me.

Mustipher goes down...Hoge is in. One or two guards go down Hoge is in. Say RT goes down, Bars moves over and a guard goes down, Hoge is in.

Some may not agree, but losing Hoge hurts. It hurts depth immediately and hurts the Center position in the future.

I do agree wth Lax that Hoge will be going into his third season. Why not stick it out 2 years at ND, get a few spot starts and then grad transfer? John M and McGocern did it. Now those two could have an undergrad degree from Notre Dame and a graduate degree from UVA. Very impressive on the resume.

Did he get passed up or is this the same issue of Sam playing over Tristen much like Joe Schmidt playing over Nyles Morgan?

He's got potentially two years of backing up Mustipher and a battle royale to try to win a OG spot.

He can walk into 3/4 of P5 schools after a transfer year and start. Probably closer to 90%.

Wouldn't he be first off bench this year inside and likely to replace Q after this year?

I have no idea where he would be on the depth chart this fall. Is he ahead of super sub Hunter Bivins inside (if he stays?). As for next year, his ability to start would mean he'd have to beat out EE's Banks and Hainsey.

IF Hoge is on the way out it really hurts experienced/capable depth in '17.

 

[IrishLion]

Hoge leaving means one less frosh redshirt on the OL. Banks and Hainsey both gonna find the 2-deep now?

 

[BobbyMac]

The He Gone now official.

What was the deal here? I mean, he was a stud coming out of high school.

 

[GBdomer]

Don't get it. How many years left does Mustipher have?

He would have been on the bottom of my list of potential transfers to start the year.

 

[IrishLax]

I meant with him losing out at RG and C he's buried for (at least) another year baring injury.

2 but P Money was moved to Center I thought.

 

[GBdomer]

It sucks because out of all the guards we have landed this year and last year I don't think any of them are as talented or rated as high as Hoge.

2 years of eligibility left. However, it sounds like he might have a tough decision on his hands at the end of this season. I think there are expectations that he has an NFL type of season.

I agree, that this is fairly shocking to me. Parents bought a house in South Bend. He had an ND truck, seemed like a kid that was in it for than just playing time.

If only he had a golf bag

I was super excited for Hoge and his future at ND. seemed like an awesome kid who came from a great family that loved ND. Lsu gotta be the favorite right? Or Florida I know he liked those two.

I don't have any idea of where he'll end up. But yes, those two were in the running prior to committing to ND.

Good chance Robert Hainsey was going to pass him as Sam Mustipher's heir apparent.

Hainsey? I thought Hainsey was a T/G?

 

[dwshade]

Hainsey? I thought Hainsey was a T/G?

Hainsey can literally play any OL position. If I'm looking a couple years down the road I could see LT- Eichenberg LG- Banks C- Hainsey RG- Kraemer RT- Lugg. But that's just an educated guess.

Kinda like Z-Mart?

This is what I heard from an insider

Hoge has one of the lowest football IQ's at ND

And please don't ask or message me who the insider is because I'm not going to tell you.

I say Hoge ends up at Oregon and I wish him the best of luck.

Well that's certainly not good, lol.

Yeah. Don't know if he'll be as good but few are.

BYU football adds offensive linemen Tristen Hoge and James Empey | The Official Site of BYU Athletics

It's official, transferring to BYU.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Yeah, this one's a head scratcher for sure.

Did he graduate? I can't see any other reason than he got his degree and is wants to go somewhere where he can start. If he didn't, then he won't be able to play in 2017 at all, so why eliminate the chance to play altogether and not get your ND degree?

 

[calvegas04]

does he repaint his truck?

No way he could have his degree. He was a 2015 recruit.
