2025 Transfer Portal

[domer13]

I'm assuming that is a requirement of entering the portal as "Graduate Transfers".

Ha - touche!

 

[BeatSC]

Well pretty sure they got their degrees so good for them. Good blockers and team players. Time for other guys to get their chances. They would have played a Devon Ford role next year so hope they get some real touches next year. Never liked running Thomas who isn’t fast or quick on the jet sweep. Get ready as more are coming and I’m holding my breath on some names. Don’t want to see Price on this list.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Are you hearing this from your sources?

It’s all speculation but even the II guys expect at least 10 transfers.

 

[rtrn2glory]

I don't see any chance that the RB and OL room aren't losing a few guys even with Pendleton already in the portal

 

[Huntr]

JT and Colzie were good soldiers. They played their part, even if that part wasn't what was expected when they got here. Truly wish them success wherever they end up.

 

[KMac151993]

Colzie, Thomas, Pendleton

thus far, correct?

[IrishSpartan]

I have been holding out for Colzie to finally turn into Mo Stovall… good luck kid

That is an unhinged take lol. Thomas has been here for what, three years now? I don't think he was about to explode into NFL talent.

Assume it’s sarcasm from last year’s similar take (forgot from who) after Merriweather, Flores and others left.

It’s fake, bro.

It's 'shopped, from one of his old dumbass tweets.

 

[IrishLax]

It hasn’t worked out all that well for the desperate spenders so far.

Yes Ohio State paid up to hire Judkins and Downs but they won the title because of guys they recruited and developed and then paid to retain, much as we did with Mills/Cross/Watts.

Texas, Penn State, Georgia and most other CFP teams (with possible exceptions of Oregon and Tennessee) follow more the model that we do than the Miami/A&M/Ole Miss/FSU strategy.

Maybe it’ll change but culture matters so much in college football that I don’t think you’ll see a lot of teams built from mercenaries going all the way.

The issue ND is going to need reconcile is that if they refuse to take undergraduate transfers for academic reasons then they need to commit to spending more money on high school recruits. You have to do one or the other, and right now we are not competitive with Oregon/Ohio State/Michigan or even second tier SEC schools with what we're willing to do for HS players.

Examples from this year include Ivan Taylor and Deuce... we land both if we spend the money. Also, every single WR we missed on was a $$ problem.

Yes hahaha

 

[NDRock]

Yes hahaha

Ha. I remember the tweet, didn’t realize it was from him.

[PolishDomer]

every time a new guy I love enters the portal

The board will implode if Ty Chan goes..apparently he can slide into any position on the team...lol

 

[NDMD]

They were great team players. Unfortunately, great team guys are going to get passed up if the program is contending. Kudos to them for sticking out their degrees, hopefully they can stay healthy and get a chance to show out their final years.

 

[IrishWayDomer]

Tyler would not do well here. Holy panic! Didn't he also call it "devastating" when Rico transferred?

So far portal movement hasn't bothered me one bit. HODL!

Even if they landed Deuce in this class, Deuce would be the first person to enter the 2026 Transfer Portal.

 

[CoachB]

They were both great blocking WR's and did their roles well. Nothing but love. Hopefully they find a good spot. They will both be missed.

Agree I think you need to set aside a budget for HS kids

 

[NDFAN2008]

Problem with Thomas and Colzie both leaving that's 5 WR's gone from our roster with 5 coming in, if another 1-2 leave from current roster we are thin again.

But he 6’ 5” 330lbs!!!

I heard he was a punter in HS as well.

Frankly, the panic makes me think that he would fit right in...

 

[Huntr]

Yes hahaha

Yeah, Flores. I forgot who the WR was that Horka shit himself over.

Flores. He was a nice piece, but gimme a fuckin break, "catastrophic"

 

[Huntr]

The board will implode if Ty Chan goes..apparently he can slide into any position on the team...lol

I thought Chan was gonna be something when he signed. Dude was huge. Didn't know he had all the agility of a cinder block.

You are really good at arithmetic. 😉
