[Reaper97]

Everyone has thrown in a pick for ND in the last 10 minutes.

He obviously committed already since they immediately put picks in & ND told Cam Howard they were taking someone else two nights ago.

 

[Giddyup]

He’s fast. Can Gino develop him better is the question. He’s got all the physicals.

 

[ColinKSU]

Well it’s a good thing he’s a runner first and a passer second because we won’t have any WRs next year (for the third consecutive season.)

 

[BoredIrish]

Booyaka.

In terms of raw skills, he might be the most talented QB to play for the Irish since... Maybe Clausen???

 

[arrowryan]

Notre Dame had the two top portal QBs ready to commit. Hell has frozen over!

 

[luckofirish8]

Leonard has a "Do Not Contact" tag on his portal posting. He knows already.

 

[BoredIrish]

I thought he wasnt a grad transfer?

Sam Hartman had to have been making bank.

Not sure I kinda woulda rather had Cam Howard.

Now let’s get some portal WRs!!

 

[arrowryan]

Sam Hartman had to have been making bank.

He was. But, if you ask the people around here, Notre Dame can’t compete with NIL

 

[Irish Knuckles]

Now let’s get some portal WRs!!

and/or someone who can coach wrs.

 

[CanadalovesND]

I thought he wasnt a grad transfer?

He isn’t. But his coach left so hes allowed to enter the portal earlier than Dec.4 as an underclassmen

Hopefully Leonard is on the phone with Tobias and James right now, he is going to need some speed

 

[arrowryan]

I thought he wasnt a grad transfer?

Correct. I looked at his name in the portal. The thread title is incorrect.

 

[NDFan8349]

Where is his commitment post? We are all waiting!?!?. It's been almost a half hr...

 

[benneboy]

Leonard and Jeremiah Love running read option would scare the shit out of me if I was a defensive coordinator.

 

[ab2cmiller]

I thought he wasnt a grad transfer?

Good catch.

 

[Reaper97]

Since he has 2 years, does that run off Minchey?

 

[luckofirish8]

Now let’s get some portal WRs!!

I'm sure they are trying. Can't be an easy sale without a WR coach though.

 

[Reaper97]

Good catch.

Doesn’t have to be with coaching change.

 

[Terry Jillery]

Correct. I looked at his name in the portal. The thread title is incorrect.

I wonder if that actually plays into our favor. He doesn’t have a Duke degree. If he had a Duke degree, perhaps the ND degree wouldn’t be as important. Maybe he’s down to grab the ND degree instead.

 

[SeekNDestroy]

Not sure I kinda woulda rather had Cam Howard.

I preferred Will Ward.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Doesn’t have to be with coaching change.

Regardless of the coaching change. He's not a grad transfer. The thread is mistitled.

 

[luckofirish8]

Since he has 2 years, does that run off Minchey?

Are we for sure he has two years? He's used 3 years of eligibility and I think he arrived after the COVID cut-off.

 

[KPENN]

Since he has 2 years, does that run off Minchey?

He only has 1 year

 

[Luckylucci]

Since he has 2 years, does that run off Minchey?

So, he does indeed have two years of eligibility? I've seen so much back and forth on this.

If he we get him for a 2nd year, then I'm much much higher on the move.

Hopefully he plays well enough next year to get drafted
