'22 TX RB Jadarian Price (Notre Dame Signee)

[thekid33]

Best of luck to him. I was hoping we could convince him to come back, but I'll never begrudge anyone (especially a RB) getting the NFL bag.

 

[RudyVerse]

Notre Dame offered him $1.5M to stay, and was prepared to offer $2.5. He said he was set on the draft.

Where did you see this?

 

[NDFAN4LIFE2008]

1.5-2.5 million is a lot but well deserved we can invest that money in WR1 or 1-2 DT's

 

[Bane]

It's the correct decision for him. RBs are continually depreciating assets and should always seek to get the NFL with least amount of wear and tear and as possible. He's going to grade out as potentially the second best RB in the draft so he couldn't really raise his stock any higher.

 

[rtrn2glory]

hopefully he stays healthy and performs well at the combine. That could be the difference b/t him making a lot of money like it was for Estime. hopefully his trainer is better than Audric and Kyren's

 

[2013Irish]

It was crazy to expect an RB with an achilles tear in his injury history to come back for a fifth year, NIL be damned.

He's definitely one of my favorite players of the past decade. His TD run against A&M last year is a very underrated play.

 

[NDWarrior]

This and Love leaving are truly reasons 1a and 1b on why I don't know that I'll ever get over the playoff snub. Didn't think a 2 am blowout of Stanford where both barely played in the second half would be the last time we got to see this duo. An absolute gut punch.

Even more of a gut punch when we won't see what he and Love could have done in a number of CFP games on prime time. Truly a shame

He will be the second RB taken in the draft. Anywhere else in America, he's a Heisman Finalist too.

I'm a big J-Price fan. This is the right move. Now, it's a Williams-Young 2026 ticket. Let's ride.

Was Young going to be ready to start the year? I thought we were looking at October?

Not sure. I thought I read a while back he'd be rehabbed for the 2026 season. Sounds like he's up against it either way.

I'm a big fan and have high hopes that he's in the rotation.

injury happened during camp. so he should be on track for camp this year

That would be huge. Young was very impressive during his limited freshmen carries.

 

[Huntr]

RB2

Best wishes, kid. Go tear it up!

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

He needed to go. For himself and for the roster. Having him for one extra year increases the chance of an injury/reduced pro career and we have a lot of good RBs to compete for snaps. And the optics for the RBs on the roster appear favorable and hopefully greatly reduce the chance that any of them bail.

I hope JD gets picked up by a team with a good OL because he is dangerous with just a little bit of space.

Bumping this. If this was on a podcast do you mind sharing which, or where did you see it?

1.5-2.5 million is a lot but well deserved we can invest that money in 10-20 DT's

Edited for accuracy and honoring a friend of the site

I was told this by someone I trust

 

[Notre Dame Joe]

Best RB2 ND may have ever had.

The Price of Love. It seemed like Price really thought that he should be RB1 and you could tell the way he tried to break every run. I thought that he might come back.

Maybe Reggie Brooks under Bettis.

 

[Dizzyphil]

How does Young compare to James Jr.?? I see on the stat sheet that James didn't do too bad in his carries this year. I know Young had more yards and carries.... but, will James be another JP? Young seems to be a bruiser-type with moves......

 

[Fbolt]

Wishing him the best!

James will be healthy for spring ball.

Young should be ready to go for summer preseason camp. They'll probably try to get him leaner too. It will be interesting to see how it shakes out. Young's injury situation would lead me to believe James has an advantage right now.

Then the two freshmen come in and we see what they can do. I'm not one to expect much from true freshmen and have tempered expectations, which probably puts me in the minority.

I don’t think it puts you in the minority. The majority likely agree with you. The problem is the minority tend to be vocal about player X playing significant snaps as a freshman. I usually just roll my eyes and move on since that comment ends up getting made for 50% of the incoming class.

 

[HouseofPain]

I will never understand why ND didnt cook up any 2RB sets for those guys. Just makes no sense

I am not worried about the freshman. We are getting better talent at all positions and the young guys are fighting for time. Willams had great year for a freshman and the rolls he was put into.

Dembrock failed getting them on the field at the same time.

 

[Dale]

I think the idea of a 2 RB set is overblown without a dual threat QB.

Exactly. Any true freshmen getting legit reps that matter must be REALLY good when you consider how the staff has upgraded the roster talent in the Post BK Era.

I'm excited to see Williams get his turn to eat. And whoever the second guy is with him should be fine. I'm a K-Young fan and I'm rooting for him, but in the end, just win ball games and get another 'ship.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

James did earn praise from the staff all fall. I think we'll be fine.
