The Good
1. Braden Lenzy still has wheels.
2. Tariq Bracy looking like his old (younger) self.
3. Walters, Walters, Everywhere.

The Bad
1. Clarence Lewis getting torched by Lenzy.
2. Two INTs from the QBs most ND fans want to start.

The Ugly
1. Groundhog says 4 more years of sub-6’ QBs.

I thought Walters was one of the most underrated guys in the 21 class. He’ll be starting very soon in my opinion

I hope it doesn't matter but I had read that Buchner was a legit 6'2 and maybe a little more. When I saw he measured in at 6'1, I thought to myself, of course he is. I'd be very interested in knowing what part height/length plays into the evals.

PBU and INT by Justin Walters there... the safety depth chart is far from set in stone outside KH. Would be very welcome news if he can make an impact.

That he would but I'll be interested to see how he holds up over the course of a season. He's listed at 178. Weight is not the end all be all but that is super light for a collegiate S.

That new video shows Buchner's funky release

I saw that. I'll probably lose it if that breaks him as a prospect. Loy shot that video of him, pre-Taylor dumbass Kelly, and it was a thing of beauty. How in the world did anybody allow that to happen. Just crazy.

That makes one of us. I thought he'd be relegated to backup duties until his senior/5th year. Maybe he's more of a playmaker than I gave him credit. I thought he was another hammer without requisite coverage skills.

In the clip with the DBs pass breakup drill with Cam hart, are we not coaching to turn your head for the ball or is that a specific drill where they aren’t supposed to turn and find the ball?

That throw by DP at 1:07 has to be in the good. And it contributes to the ugly...

HOT TAKE ALERT!!!

TB=PJ and will never start a game at ND.

Also, has/have any of Taylor Kelly's students gone on to be a big deal? Serious question as I have no idea who has all went to him.

I'm shocked more college teams don't have rules against QB recruits working with non-staff trainers.

The fact that Fisher came into the program in-shape is a game changer for my view of him as a prospect. I was honestly pretty meh on him because I kept hearing about his astronomical weight and thought there was no chance it was good weight. I figured he was going to need a year or two to get himself into playing shape.

Nana is #18 and he flashed in those highlights a couple of times. Those would be 2 TFL's in a full-go full pad situation. Not too shabby.

Don't care who says what, TB12 gets rid of the ball quick

On the deep ball to Salerno. It was a good looking ball and perfectly placed but it came off his hand almost at the side. Hopefully it just works for him and he's a baller.

I got a really good screen shot of his arm angle and it is not pretty. I just can't seem to get it posted. Such a bummer because those early films of him, his arm motion was awesome and had zip.

You should take a screen of Baker, Mahomes and Rivers sometime too

It's not a gorgeous release, but Phil's was ugly AND he couldn't even throw a spiral. TB doesn't have that problem *knock on wood*

PJ's was also much longer of a motion too, very baseball style.
TBs is a wrist flip. Much like mobile QBs are becoming the "norm" this is going to be one of the norms going forward at CFB and NFL level.
