[notredomer23]

So sad, too young. Prayers

 

[rtrn2glory]

Awful news

 

[Giddyup]

Wonder if Mickey is still gonna start and play.

I hope he has a great game.

Wonder if Mickey is still gonna start and play.

If he does, which I think he will, I'm sure he is going to have the best game of his life!

Talk about not being able to catch a break. Continued prayers to the Mickey family.

Mr. Mickey is the kind of man I’d love to crack open a cold one with. What a rock.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Wow.
More condolences to the family.

Thanks for posting this Tom.

Redshirting rest of the year. Will transfer

 

[NDPhilly]

Kids who quit mid season should have their academic scholarships pulled too, imo. This is really BS.

We don't know anything about why or what's behind this. It could be family. Could be a personal issue.

 

[IrishLax]

Assuming this is a football decision this is a major mistake by him. Will still probably make it to the NFL but quitting mid season to preserve a year of eligibility is nonsensical.

 

[CanadalovesND]

I believe Leonard Moore was first corner off the bench vs Miami. Maybe that rubbed Mickey the wrong way.

Mickey has had a rough year. Losing his mom at such a young age. Terrible for anyone. I atleast hope he’ll be on track to receive his degree.

But I’m not a fan of this. Finish the season. I understand he wants two years at another program likely to help get more film for the NFL, but to quit on a team that had your back and showed immense support during the dark days of loss… no beuno.

Perhaps there is more to the story.

 

[NDMatt91]

I think it's safe to say they'll be in the market for a corner in the portal.

 

[arrowryan]

This seems like a mistake by him. I think it was mentioned that he was not happy when Gray beat him out.

Huge opportunities for Moore and Hobbs

 

[NDFAN2008]

Yeah huge mistake and hurts depth they'll def need a corner unless Golden can step in right away

 

[notredomer23]

He was ready to transfer when Gray beat him out. He and his family have been through hell and I am sure the stresses of that have indirectly or directly influenced this decision. Freeman has gone above and beyond for him and his family so hopefully he gains some perspective if this is entirely football related.

 

[NDPhilly]

Jordan Clark also stole a ton of his NB reps. Makes sense why we saw so much of Moore Saturday now.

 

[arrowryan]

Gray and Moore are essentially etched in stone as the 2025 starters now. Hobbs, Golden, and Zackery as depth. I’d grab a depth corner in the portal.

Considering his mother just died less than a year ago, I'm going to hold off on my own judgement. Frankly, what I think doesn't really mean a fuck regardless of his reasons.

I was rooting for this guy this year. Hope he does well for himself down the line wherever he ends up, whatever his reasons might be.

We saw Hobbs come on the field - said who is #21? Then saw the range and length on his third down PBU, Mickey was looking down the barrel at being a senior running as #4 CB coming into spring IMO, and evidently his own opinion.

Good luck - saves 2 years for his next stop.

 

[BoredIrish]

Kid has been through alot. Sometimes you just need to take a break from it all, which must be really tough to do while balancing academics and football at a place like Notre Dame.

All the best to him and his family.

 

[Riddickulous]

It would make sense if he wants to be closer to home. Best of luck to him.

 

[Katzenboyer]

Wish him best of luck.

Difficult to know if Moore / Hobbs played that much out of merit, or because MF knew Mickey was about to quit.

 

[stpeteirish]

He just selfishly quit on the team to protect a year of eligibility. Count me out on wishing him "all the best"

Moore has logged in a healthy amount of snaps since the season started

 

[NDpendent]

Can't really blame the kid, we have stacked so much talent on this secondary and he can be a starter on a power 4 team.

Really surprised by some of these comments. Dude lost his mother last year the night before a game and still played the next day. He doesn’t owe you or me anything. Sure, I wish he would stay and play. I’d imagine he’s got a lot he’s going through as a 21 year old without a parent
