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

[irishandy]

Amazing how a couple of guys can transfer in for the final season at the most critical position and endear themselves to the team and fans in such a short time. Shows us how good MF is at reading people.

Hartman & Leonard were both class acts and I agree they both loved their Notre Dame experience & seemed to take full advantage of their time here.

He didn’t have poor protection but his WR corps was below what was needed due to injuries, abilities and experience.

Yeah... if they woulda just thrown in a few more bucks for a couple of his Wake receivers.

I wish Sam dove vs OSU just to get that monkey off our back.
Who knows where winning that game would've led us?

Amazing Vagas’s record stood so long. I remember watching him play. Still my all time favorite RB. You guys would have loved him.

Also kinda wild that three of the top five are in the last two seasons.

Crazy stat, despite all the great backs that went to ND, Riley Leonard is tied for the 2nd most rushing TDs in a reason.View attachment 3058309

Helps that Riley (and Love) played 5 more games than Ferguson.

Allen Pinkett was no slouch either, he's on that TD list twice. Amazing back. He once dunked on me during a pickup game at the Rock. I was 6'4". He was 5'9". Guy had some hops.

We were never going to win it all with Parker and that young shoestring WR corps in 2023. This recent season could have been our best chance, it will all determine what happens next season. A lot of powerhouses have been down the last few years. Can't expect that to last. Crazy to think if a few of our stars stayed healthy we may have won it all.

Jerome Heavens was no slouch as his backfield mate either!

Unfortunately our offense back then was (say it with me if you remember)
Pinkett, Pinkett, Pinkett, Punt.

Pinkett is #2 on my list.

Waste of air time.

Had a couple nice Go, deep balls!!

 

[Dale]

I would say he looked how you would expect

Definitely lacks a bit of velocity. Best reps in each drill were the later ones

His running and escapability is such a big part of his game. Be should be able to showcase those better on the ND pro day!

 

[rtrn2glory]

Shough threw the ball the best out of the group. He could be a solid backup in the league

Milroe didn't look good IMO.

For someone who is such a well-rounded athlete, it’s shocking he doesn’t have a much stronger arm. I thought it was all mechanics and not having his feet set, but it really seems like his arm is just below average.

This always surprised me also. Just looking at his physique, I expected him to have a cannon.

He will be in my town of Naples, FL for a fundraiser. $150 a pop or $10,000 for VIP

It'll be emotionally impossible for me to love another one year rental player more than Riley. He could barely throw a football but I didnt even care because he was all dog from day 1.

He was our less cringe Tebow without the media hype. Love live.
