2026 Spring Practice Thread

Nice job providing Wisconsin a scouting report!

I kid, nice breakdown. Good to hear that the OL is preforming well. There were a few Miami fans on Twitter/X that think our OL sucks.

I pray the Miami fans aren't upset when their DL isn't as good as it was last year!

I mean… after watching the OL against Miami, I can see why they think that.

Yeah, I remember Bain being a general pain, but not the entire OL just letting dudes through every snap.

Miami had very possibly the best D-line in the country last year, they abused a lot of teams including the eventual national champion. Not to mention Hard Rock Stadium is clearly cursed and Miami abused our 2015 line there too.

And a semi- hot take: J Love was trying to be a superstar that game and wasn’t taking what was given…

Do we have any idea if the Spring Game (closed off by Peacock) will be run anytime later anywhere for us older poorer people to watch more than a highlight?

They've posted the last few on YouTube a day or two after the game I believe. I can certainly check for you and send you a link if they do it again.

I should have some links to watch it

Thanks to all for suggestions.

Some II pod nuggets:

- sounds like Jonaz Walton is getting some steam under him. Not surprising, both freshman have higher upside than Williams and James. I thought it would be Osborne but he’s hurt

- They think Frazier is basically in the 2s. So you have Gilbert and Williams (Porter absent), Faison and Burress and then Graham and Frazier (Greathouse limited, which was other topic of convo).

The best ability is availability.

-Also made it seem like Black is better in pass pro than run game right now if I heard correctly.

That's better than the other way around for a young starting LT.

Im blasé about the spring game ever since the ND beat told me that the jersey scrimmage is what really matters

Brice said that standing out in pass game and "more than handled his own going against traore and young in the run game drills"

Oh no! Our d line sucks again!

Misheard. Thanks for clearing it up.

That’s why the Bengals started the worst offensive tackle in the league for like three straight years.

A traffic cone provided more resistance than Bobby Hart… but my god, that man was eternally available

I do wonder how much the YAC potential of Porter and Williams will combat what I expect is a very reliable target in Gilbert. Just way higher ceilings

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Did he beat Gray?

Williams WOOF I hope he has some moments this year rooting for him

Did you just bark in excitement

So many are counting on Greathouse this year. Is he truly that good? Certainly "flashed" in the playoffs, yet before that? And then last year's injury? Hoping he can become "that" player.

Not sure how you can see what he did in the playoffs and ask if he's " truly that good"... clearly he is..... Will he everrrr be healthy enough to play up to what he showed, THATS the question.

Jaden Greathouse, Charles Jagusah, and Kevin Stepherson might be the biggest “what ifs” in Notre Dame football history.

Don't forget Aaron Lynch...

Kevin Austin should be in there too.

He had a nice season, once he figured it out. Not sure why he left early.
