‘21 AL QB Riley Leonard (Duke Transfer - Notre Dame Verbal)

[NDPhilly]

Leonard isnt going to go anywhere where he isnt essentially handed the starting job.

That being said, Angeli has unironically looked better than Devin Brown in limited action.

I know OSU has great freshman as well, but ND is unironically at WR, TE, and RB returning more production than OSU is

 

[Blazers46]

This tells me, Ohio State does not necessarily have a plan.

check another thread - supposedly Ryan Clark let the cat out the bag on Ward to OSU

 

[stpeteirish]

His head will be on a spike outside the stadium if that were to happen.

Then it really will be Ryan Day vs the world

 

[arrowryan]

On the II pod, Sampson said they should have a QB within the next week

 

[jprue24]

Typical ND. It will fall through and they'll end up with egg on their face.

Typical?

ND got their man last year

 

[irish2104]

OSU is apparently getting a washington transfer QB? Per Ryan Clark?

Cam Ward from Washington State

 

[LifelongFan]

Yeah Ohio State is getting Ward and Oklahoma is rolling with Jackson Arnold. Nothing has changed.

Valid, lol

 

[jprue24]

Valid, lol

Pretty sure we pay for transfers, so that is a monster difference from hs recruiting.

 

[irish4ever]

Id rather have Leonard.

Ditto

 

[irish4ever]

McCord ain't it. Leonard is a high upside guy and I hope they land him. If there is truth that they turned down Howard, then they better have had Leonard 100% locked up.

Leonard + 2 new outside WRs + Faison/Greathouse in the slot - Parker = Points

Nice equation, but unfortunately it is NOT gonna happen!

Does anyone think that Michael Pratt could change his mind (and surprise everyone) and instead come back for a final year but for a different team (goes into the portal)? And if he does, does ND, presumably in bed with Leonard, give him a serious look?

He said minus Parker.

LMAO

*No reason to be concerned*

Loy posted just now Leonard has been OSU's #1 target and they've been going hard at him for a week now.

Has he recently followed the Associate Athletics Director at Ohio State on Instagram... Because he just followed Notre Dames Associate Athletics Director

No Cam Ward?

We might give him a look, but it would be really tough to beat FSU or Miami for Pratt.

 

[lcaps20]

No Cam Ward?

Rumors that OSU's NIL isn't up to par and that Ward may be too expensive for them

 

[NDPhilly]

Riley Leonard and Cam Ward are the only established QB's in the portal with 1st round QB upside, and Leonard's is higher. OSU isnt going to the portal to get a game manager, they had that in McCord.

 

[NormND_44]

Was fascinated to hear OSU has dropped the ball on NIL. Doesn’t seem like something Urban Meyer would let happen.

Also thought for sure McCord leaving meant they had an option lined up. Think he just left because Day wouldn’t guarantee him the spot.

It's seemed all along that McCord is leaving for the same reason Pyne did. Day refused to give him a vote of confidence that he'd get a fair shot to at least compete for the QB job despite starting the entire season this year. That's a dangerous game for the HC to play if he doesn't already have assurances.

Where is it reported OSU dropped the ball on NIL?

 

[Luckylucci]

I read some stuff on their search for a QB. And something that struck me as odd was they said they want to focus on someone that wants to win and not the money.

Of all the times for OSU to take a righteous path, now would be ill advised. Day is done if he doesn’t get next years QB right.

 

[Rocketman84]

Idk if you put Hartman in McCord shoes I think he might have been a Heisman finalist.

Not the way he single handidly cost us that L'ville game

I wonder if alums are showing unhappiness with Day by holding onto their money.

Boosters are going to straight run these programs.
