If he wants to come back, you definitely welcome him back.
He's a trooper and we all are lucky If he does.

One more game, right? This doesn't seem like an official commitment for next season.

Apparently it’s not but everyone thinks he’s coming back. It’s basically unanimous amongst the beat writers.

I just got a whole lot more confident in our CBs for next year

the interesting thing about that tweet is Kelly said earlier in the day that the staff knew who was coming back (or something close to this) and was leaving it to the players to announce.

Sounds like the coaches are just waiting to have the 5th (and 6th) year conversations until after bowl/2020 signing.

Which makes sense. Sounds like Crawford wants back but just wants to verify with the coaches he has a spot, which I'm sure he will.

Kelly already said in his post-practice interview that he has already had all the talks and will let the players on announce on their own timelines.

Maybe he's waiting on the NCAA. He needs to be approved for a 6th year and just applied recently. Everyone thinks he'll be approved but it is the NCAA after all.

NCAA wont decide on his eligibility for ages though right? Summer time?

Please, please God, let him stay healthy. Not even for the selfish reason that we need him in the defensive backfield, but for himself. I can't imagine going through all those injuries like he did.

Didn't he miss 2 full seasons due to injuries? And then most of a 3rd. I think we all are jaded from the NCAA's past decision with regards to ND but this seems like a slam dunk

If they don't give him a 6th year, the whole system is ridiculously corrupt. I can't think of a player, at least one capable of starting, that has missed more time during a career. When they look up the definition of 6th year, Shaun's name and picture should be there going forward.

There's no "if" about it. And odds are good that ND will naively dot every 'i' and cross every 't' in his application for a 6th year, which will give shysters at the NCAA all the leverage they need to deny it.

Pretty obvious, barring something unforeseen, TaRiq Bracy will be a starter next season. He deserves it and I think he'll be a good one. Doe Crawford start opposite of him or do they use him like they did in 2019? Rutherford and Wallace have impressed; maybe they'll get the nod.
