Who do we think is going to enter the portal from ND this year? That RB room is pretty crowded. Hope we don’t lose any of them. At least Ford won’t be taking any snaps. Hopefully Sneed is feeling better about his role recently and so many young players getting some PT. Could see losing Jayden Thomas if we go looking in the portal for more WRs. Same goes for the TEs. So many players contributing. Feel like we lose a QB even though we don’t get one in the portal. Buchner can be QB3 if we lose one of our top 3. Question is who would you prefer leaving?

I'd bet on one of Price, Williams or Young leaving. If Price gets a draft grade I'd bet he would go. RB careers are short, the sooner they got on a roster the better.

2020. It's the reason why players like Rylie Mills and Jordan Botelho could come back for a fifth season despite playing as true freshman in '20-'21 season.
Wait, Mills could come back? I thought he was all out even with the covid year.

Pretty sure Koht was the one that Jihaad Campbell was referencing a few days ago when he said that if you didn’t want to practice with intensity and heart then take yourself somewhere else. Koht is talented, just needs to figure out it’s not given to you.

If we take another QB in the portal this year to better take 2 and won’t have to worry about recruiting any good ones again.

You will need to 2 because at least 2 transfer out and that will be 3 of 4 years the MF era will have taken a transfer. The high school guys will see they can’t develop a qb and move on.

Again my opinion.

We have Buchner as our insurance QB. We can lose one of the two but won’t be surprised if all 3 stay. Minchey and Angeli are close to getting degrees from ND and both should know they won’t be making a living at it either. Get that degree. It worked for Sonny Hostin!

I completely disagree with the bolded....if ND lands the QB I mentioned and 2 years later he's a 1st round pick, well, there you go. ND developed a QB. And look, QB plans change on a fly. I simply do not buy that Freeman and co. are ready to hand the keys to the offense over to a CJ Carr who's already been injured and therefore missing practice reps, a Kenny Minchey who hasn't touched the field since the Purdue game, or a Steve Angeli that they've passed over 2x already.

If I’m Freeman and ND I’d target Ayomanor and Mosley from Stanford at WR I’d also go after David Bailey

If they go in the portal....

Absolutely.

Mosley specifically chose Stanford because he wanted to blaze his own path instead of following in the footsteps of his parents. So I'd say that one is unlikely, plus he would be walking away from an undergraduate degree.

Maybe it's third time the charm with Bailey lol

Transfer portal is going to be even crazier this year with even more players chasing the dollars.

Right. For all of the ball gargling people are doing about Michigan throwing money around at high school players, all it's going to do is further fuck up the "market". Not to mention what the SEC schools and the rest of the bozos are going to attempt when they go out and try to poach guys like Vanderbilt's QB, etc.

I said it last year with all of the Moore/Bowen/Keeley nonsense. Stay away.

Don't blame ND for not wanting to take part in this hyperbolic nonsense. Bitch away if you feel like it, but I personally hope they continue doing what they're doing and be smart about out. I want no part of it.

Now that the players are “professionals”, it‘s like unlimited free agency with essentially no regulation other than portal windows. Could you imagine what MLB, NFL, NBA would look like if every player could become a free agent each year? That’s essentially what we have in CFB right now.

You all take this for what it's worth - Ewers is probably going to enter the portal for '25 instead of opting for the NFL draft..... a close Referee in TX told me he is eyeing the Irish if they want him.... your thoughts??? He sent me this....

Depends. If he's all about money, he's not coming here. That'll surely upset the whiners.

I think if he's looking for the things ND can offer and are selling, it could be a pretty good fit on the field when all is said and done.

I'm not getting my hopes up about it.

Not really on board of taking another portal QB. At what point do we give the guys that they've recruited a chance? Carr. Minchey. Jelly? I mean if ND is always in the portal looking for a qb. What does that say about the guys we have rn? And the staff about coaches them up? Getting them prepared? Freeman said ND has the QB of the future on the roster right now. I believe that to be true. We ride at dawn.

I get it brother... but is Angeli the answer for '25??? Is Minchey?? Carr???? Ewers will be 22 years old, 6'3" and proven....

Just asking - not debating.

Why would Ewers go to the portal? He’s got plenty of experience. Was projected as a first round pick, though maybe that has changed?

The problem with taking Ewers is that they need to buy 1-2 DT's who are either studs or have a lot of upside and 2-3 WR's who can truly start on a CFP caliber team. It'd be easier if ND just let fans contribute to the NIL fund, like pretty much all the SEC schools do.
