And TX and ND even further down at only 4 transfer gets and PSU with 3 gets. Hard to recruit and/or announce transfers when you're vying for the CFP NC. Hopefully, this is exactly what ND anticipated was gonna be the case and the staff of peeps tasked with finding/securing transfers did their jobs effectively and the coaches closed the deals largely BEFORE the playoffs even started. It that's what happened, that was some good foresight, planning, and execution!
That waist to ass ratio is intriguing. She don’t look too bad eitherShh, seen at practice this week
OSU has lost a dozen guys to the portal since it opened up in December. How many has ND lost to the portal since December
That's what people have to realize. 80-90% of these players are entering the portal because they are in the 2 or 3 deep and they want more PT. ND doesn't really need other teams scraps nor would those players come to ND to be buried in the depth chartWhen you see every other school sign a mediocre backup that ND has someone better than already on the roster:

This is why I called it a flop. You have arguably the best defense in the country. You have glaring holes at WR and DT but none of the kids leaving to try and win are going to ND. But like I said, I trust this staff so it's whatever.
Ya, again...I'm being simple. I haven't looked at what OSU has done or anyone else. I'm saying ND has a clear need at WR. If I was a stud, at USC, or A&M id consider ND. Same goes for DT, we look like we are on the verge of a run. We are starting to look elite not only on the field but to kids through social media. Just not sure why a coach like MF isn't eating in the portal....that's all.
If I was a stud WR, the ND QB future is a bit unclear at this point. It is understandable for it not to be destination #1.
The good players leaving good teams are not leaving “to try and win,” they’re leaving to get paid.
Lack of a home run name, lack of a gamebreaker...landed two solid WRs (another possession guy and a slot guy w/dropsies)but none of the big name guys nor the deep threat we sorely needed, landed a TE that didn't play much this season at a lesser school. Impatience on landing a DT and watching all the top guys commit to others schools when it's looking more and more likely we need 3 bodies at the position with a minimum of 2.
Makes it hard to land the Jeremiah Smith and Ryan Williams types when all the WRs avg 9-12yds/catch and the QB future is unclear albeit talented w/upside.
Klare and Onianwa were big time, Donaldson is solid. Adding Wilson would be big time as well if that comes to fruition, I think last year's haul is probably still in people's minds aa well.
So pay up then.
Bust
Getting paid at OSU (Wilson) or UGA (Branch) along with LSU and Ole Miss and Texas (shaw) sounds like a lot of the studs are leaving for both.
I was lumping the lack of QB get into my bust talk as well. Everyone else in the playoffs is set at QB next year...except ND. But agaaaaain I trust Freeman so let's see what happens.
Im saving my per diem every day so I can donate it to the fuND.When you see every other school sign a mediocre backup that ND has someone better than already on the roster:
