I thought Mike already said he was returning. Did something change?

Yes, he's said repeatedly he's coming back. Don't think Nelson has said one way or another which is interesting given that everyone else has made a declaration.

On the latest recruiting Power Hour, Matt or Mike was saying how they think it's POSSIBLE that Q leaves early because of all the AA hype he's getting. Also mentioned how he'd be rated the #1 guard coming out this year and depending on how that fell in the overall picture of the draft, could go a long way in determining whether or not he returns. So we're not out of the woods with that one just yet. They also said, at the end of the day, they think he returns.

Let's hope so. He's our most dominant player if you ask me. An absolute beast. I think if a team chooses to pick a Guard in the first round, it'll be him. His sheer size, work ethic, strength, clean injury history, HH technique....,I'd want him on my OL if I were an NFL GM. Let's hope he either really wants his degree or wants to help ND turn things around next year or both. Him and McG should really push people around next year. Fingers crossed.
GO IRISH.

Don't shoot me, because I don't remember where I picked it up, but I thought I had heard Nelson was leaning towards returning. Guards aren't typically first round picks, but Nelson does have the size that gets GM giddy.

Wimbush on the Hesiman watch yet?

I think the general consensus is that he returns. It's just that since coming out and saying as much, his stock has risen a little, so they're just saying they'd be surprised if it didn't at least put the thought in his head.

Notre Dame's Tom Rees on Brandon Wimbush
Click to expand...

Interesting. Hadn't considered that Tommy had opportunities to leave Senior year. Sounds like he could have transferred prior to the Golson suspension, but he decided to stay because he said he wanted to finish what he started and the team meant to much too him. Obviously it worked out well for him anyway since Golson couldn't play, but just another reason Reesus is a Notre Dame Man. Can you imagine if Tommy left and Golson gets suspended? We're probably looking at another 4-8 season in 2013.

... or Malik goes 7-6 / 8-5 as a freshman, never gives up the starting position, and wins the NC in 2015. Playing what if's is fun cuz you're never wrong.

So I budged and purchased the ND Insider magazine for the 2017 season yesterday after work. There are some really good articles and write ups in it; I strongly recommend getting one.

Eric Hansen did a long, lengthy story on Brandon and one of the big things in the article is how Brandon approached his redshirt season in 2016. Going from the #2 QB to a redshirt, scout team QB the following year is not very common. For a 19 year old, that would be a great time to transfer. Instead, Wimbush went out to New York for an internship and had dinner with Tom Mendoza. At dinner, he wanted to talk with Mendoza about making sure his redshirt season was positive and worth while and he wanted to talk about leadership and what makes great leaders. At 19 years old, WHO DOES THAT!?

There is so much more in the article, but thats the part of the article that I was impressed the most. With the combination of superb athleticism and being mature beyond his years, we might have a really, really good quarterback. I bought into the the Wimbush hype a long time ago, but after reading that there is no turning back now; I burned the boats and there is no turning back now!

I suspect he's going to be a cool customer when he's under pressure.

He's going to break defenses down by moving around/outside the pocket, and he's going to hit some wide-open monsters (EQ/Alize/Boykin/Claypool) deep down field when he does it.

It's gonna look like Manziel-to-Evans in 2012/2013, but without the douchebaggery.

I like the comparison... I think Wimbush will be a better pocket passer, but I full expect him to move around, allow his Wr's to get open and just throw it up to them for big plays

If you've burned the boats, how are the rest of us supposed to row them. I guess Fleck won't be here until a few more years pass and Wimbush is gone.

He's so swaggy. I really think I'm going to put $100 on him for heisman tomorrow.

Has too much physical talent to give up on him now. Has 2 more years after this. Relax

Dude throws every down-field ball wayyyyy high. Overthrowing EQ 3 out of 4 times is a problem... EQ is 6'5"
