2026 Fall Camp Thread

[irish4ever]

I thought it was well agreed upon that chris ash was a Gangsta by week 8 or so

Should be fine this season IF the first 2-3 games that he's not going full Gansta (unlike facing last year's first 2 opponents), but the remainder of the season and post-season we need to see full Gansta mode and LEAVE NO DOUBT! Go Irish

My kid has tried to jump in the pond several times.

Attempting to catch that same catfish bare handed?

When is the next Freeman presser?

 

[NDFAN2008]

I’m not worried about the defense at all and they should honestly play as many guys as they can to keep guys fresh. Leonard Moore doesn’t need to be play more than two quarters in a blow out. Get the freshman experience.

When is the next Freeman presser?

August 21st, friday
Next media viewing is tomorrow I believe, think it is the last one.

How has Will Black looked in fall camp?

 

[NDFAN2008]

Pouncey with two picks today in practice

Pouncey with two picks today in practice

Are they committed to him being a corner or are they open to him playing safety?

Honestly think he’s a corner now but i think he could play both

Long term IMO Pouncey should play Nickel

 

[irishnd31]

Long term IMO Pouncey should play Nickel

If he can catch that good why not WR?

That too i’m curious if Gray comes back for a 5th year tho?

Leonard Moore could probably just stand on the sidelines near the receivers and QBs still won't throw anywhere near him.

IF his NFL draft expectations look too low, coming back for another season with NIL $ could make sense for him. Time will tell.

Freeman with an article this morning:

• Defense ahead of offense (seems like this is every offseason)
• No one really knows what they have at WR
• Sneed's year to put it all together and show everyone he can be consistent
• May not have been the most popular decision amongst ND in having Stephen A visit the team
• Interview with Rece and Carr was odd with the editing and all the ping pong tallk

The defense should be ahead of the offense.

The media doesn’t know what they have at WR? Or the staff doesn’t know?

Yeah, who at Notre Dame has quickly forgotten what happened last year with ESPN/CFP? Fuck everyone involved at ESPN. Fuck them forever.

WR problems you say?

 

[notredomer23]

The media doesn’t. Because Notre Dame has the best and deepest corner room in the country. I mean in practice your best 6 for each room:
CBs/NBs:
Moore
McKinney
Gray
Sanders
Zackery
Golden

WRs:
Jeffrey(this one’s for Eville)
Faison
Greathouse
Gilbert
Graham
Porter
Burress

The back up 3 at CB and NB would start on most teams outside the top 12.

The issue with the WRs is the lack of a dominant 1 that can bail Carr out if needed in the Tate/Floyd/Claypool/Fuller mold. But in terms of depth this is as deep of a WR corps we’ve seen under Freeman.

The media also has never been more limited with team access. So they probably have no idea what Notre Dame has with anything
