2025 Transfer Portal

Spending 4 mill on a transfer qb would be stupid.

Per Irish Lax’a post, bring in a couple ballers at wide receiver, combine that with the super deep and experienced o line, tight ends and running backs on the roster put Angeli at QB and that team would be as good as anyone in the country.

I do not disagree with this post, or the original thoughts from a legend.

 

[wallym]

You got a point, but that would tank the WR and TE room. And in 2024 that would be worse than Sandusky at PSU. In 1989 LFG!!

hahaha. Fair.

Too may interceptions and dumb plays. Accuracy and decision making have to account for something a little more than athleticism. Also, if he's a selfish prick, then no thanks. Any articles on him giving back to community, or a charity or non-profilt he's associated with and/or information about the time of service he's giving to give back to anything? That might change a few minds.

I know of one player that's leaving Bama 100% because of Milroe. And him coming back next year or not is whatever....it was also that the staff didn't intervene with some of his bullshit. But with that said...I'd take his bad decisions and his accuracy issues....because even though he'd have those games...ND still wins by 3 TDs.

Spending 4 mill on a transfer qb would be a waste of money in my opinion.

Per Irish Lax’a post, bring in a couple ballers at wide receiver, combine that with the super deep and experienced o line, tight ends and running backs already on the roster put Angeli at QB and that offense would murder people and be as good as any in the country.

True....but when they charge 70k a year for an education and over a hundred dollars for hoodies at the bookstore and the line is 3 miles long. I don't wanna hear it, take the NBC money and put it towards the players. UGA is taking more outa state kids right now because everyone wants to go there. Bama was the same...a prolific football program will help all around, even at a school like ND.

You sound like an OSU fan who thinks they should beat everyone by 40 (I have 4 bros that are OSU fans, and this is basically their thought process). No offense to you, kind of joking...but we aren't beating A&M next year by 3 TD's with a Milroe game like that.

We would have another NIU game if he had that kind of game. I certainly don't want another one of those ever again in my lifetim.

When I say that I mean that money would be better spent on different positions that would specifically provide a bigger benefit to the roster next year.

Haha...I'm die hard ND fan for sure. But I do think that Milroe could throw 2 interceptions (that turn into TDs) and 127 yards...and with our OL and RBs along with Milroe....we win that game 48-24

Oh I know, I'm saying spend it everywhere that makes sense. If you're gonna get cheap, get cheap everywhere...$29 hoodies aren't following suit though.

But I wouldn't give $4mil, which is likely what he is seeking (or his handlers are). It's a risk calculation and budgetary decision...something likely a lot of of posters deal with in normal life. Maybe Denbrock can say he'll turn him into Daniels, which gets him here...but someone above him has to pull the rip cord when he sucks.

I think a lot of us think spending 4 million on Ewers or Milroe Pretty crazy.

Spending 4 mill on a transfer qb would be a waste of money in my opinion.

Can anyone repeating the $4 million as being exorbitant shed light as to why? Do you know the going rate of current QBs in this cycle? What we spent on Leonard/Hartman versus the 2023/2024 budgets? What the 2025 budget is? What ND is devoting in revenue share to football + NIL moving forward? What has already been allocated to the current roster and other targets of note?

It seems to be an argument out of principle not out of actual budget management, unless the above questions have been addressed prior.

I would like to know what Louisville is paying Miller Moss, what Baylor paid Sawyer Robertson to stay or what OU/Miami is suggesting for John Mateer before making a value judgment on what Milroe should or would cost is.

 

[NDPhilly]

I don’t think 4 million is crazy if pre-junior year Trevor Lawrence was in the portal, but That’s not the case this year.

How would you rather spend $4M?

Maddox Madsen ($1M) + 2 DT, an edge , a safety, and 2 WRs (say $500k each bc they are all high-D1 caliber starters, although this is probably high)

Or ... just Quinn Ewers

Seems obvious to me.

Whatever it is Milroe should get double. Moss is unproven, and Mateer had a great year in a pass happy no def weak competition that still saw him drop the last three games of the season to teams like New Mexico and Wyoming.

I would pay Angeli before Maddox Madsen lol

This also implies ND would run into a $3 million budgetary concern and doesn’t have a better QB than a G5 game manager. Neither should be true.

What about LaNorris Sellers?

Nope, I cannot. Only speculating that I read that Ewers was offered $4 mil from a B1G team. That's all I'm going on...and it's probably speculation. But with Meat giving Underwood $10 over 3 year or so, giving $4mil to an actual QB who has won something makes sense. I know it's not Ewers doing this, but his handlers are...which all makes me sick. Spend it on DL, like some other dude stated.

I like this breakdown, but also wouldn't give a Boise St QB $1mil...ever. Zero comparison with the competition he plays against....no way, not ever. In fact, as much as I like their RB, we (along with any other top 5 team) will shut him down. I guess you could put any name in their for Maddux Madsen...I get your point. I like spending on the DT, edge, and defense.

 

[stlnd01]

Who the fuck is Maddox Madsen? Why would we take a transfer QB no one has ever heard of over the three guys we’ve got?

Edit: Boise’s QB? Well good experience handing the ball to a dominant RB, anyway.

Do we think Arch would leave the glory of Texas and instead pave his way to glory here at ND? Not so much about $ but something he's been thinking about as he's taken in UT and Austin over and his Manning legacy over the past few years, maybe realizing he wants something different and more improbable (again, since his name is Manning and will always go a LONG way for him). And he actually is faster and more of a runner than RL when he needs to so is kind of a Denbrock fit... Ok got that off my chest and will now drop my crack pipe and go back and italicize this baby!

I really think it’s Milroe. Denbrock has coached against him. Buchner was also his teammate. Rees his coach. Fits the offense. Cache to convince transfer WRs no matter how poor he is at times. Would warrant top $ type billing. Also a one year rental so may be approved by Carr.

Every other realistic name seems hardly an upgrade or a fit (besides Ewers as mentioned).

Pass that stuff around Cheech!

I do want to know what a crap pipe is, but don't want any part of it. That said, I like this...but if Ewers go to the NFL, UT's team is his. No way he leaves...does he?

Matt Sluka still out there surprised he hasn’t committed anywhere yet

Rhett was the backup FS and pope 3rd string their FS is a freshman they are loosing like 5-6 backups better hope they don’t have any injuries

 

[stlnd01]

Are other playoff teams losing guys or just Georgia?

 

[IrishLax]

You think he is a worse passer than Leonard?

Milroe is an elite deep ball thrower. Denbrock’s favorite route is slot fade. He’s a poor decision maker under 10 yards. Leonard is generally been the reverse this year. Effective enough short and nothing down field.

I think he’s basically Brandon Wimbush with better long ball accuracy. He is wholly incapable of making efficient intermediate throws, doesn’t project well to the NFL, and has had a mediocre year with some elite receiving talent at Bama. Hard pass.
