Fall Camp 2019

[arrowryan]

I see a lot of camo t-shirts in this video. Camo t-shirts mean that the player is considered "starving" in Balis' workout program. A good sign.

I know not a lot of you probably check out the Fighting Irish Media thing that we put on the front page, but if you're interested in a bit of a hype video, there is a ND Football created Protect Our House video for this season on the front page.

I don't know who will be named captains or when Kelly will make the announcement, but here's my list of some potential candidates with my guesses in bold letters:

Offense:
Ian Book
Chris Finke
Liam Eichenberg
Tommy Kraemer
Chase Claypool

Defense:
Tony Pride
Alohi Gilman
Jalen Elliott
Asmar Bilal
Julian Okwara
Khalid Kareem
Daelin Hayes

 

[arrowryan]

I would say Book, Elliot, Okwara, and Claypool

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Feel like I should know this but don't recall.

Is BK's noon presser streamed live or do we have to wait for it to be posted after the fact?

If the former, links?

It looks like you'll be able to watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRoz5I6-7DQ

Yeah , I forget when the announcement is usually made.

My guess would be:
Gilman
Book
Eichenberg
Hayes
Finke or Claypool

[Big23Head]

Wow, Cross is quite a bit shorter than expected. Definitely an interior guy.

Looking forward to see how these guys perform at Culver.

 

[Luckylucci]

Kyle Hamilton is a 6'4 FS with a 40" vertical!!!!!! Hype train is going way to fast.

 

[ResLife Hero]

Kelly with a very short answer on Austin. "Still on the team but day to day"

 

[zelezo vlk]

Spears is already 300 pounds?

BK says that captains will be announced after the team returns from Culver.

 

[Luckylucci]

Looks like it. I'm sure camp is going to be tough for him as he's missed so much time but he seem to carry that weight well. 6'3 303 is an imposing figure. This isn't the physique of a Pete Mokwuah, for example.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

"He's still on our team, it's a day to day process"

The optimism is gone.

Did he say anything like that about Dexter last year?

 

[koonja]

No he said Dexter has put in the work and is doing the things we want him to, or something along those lines.

I got $5 on UCF for Kevin Austin.

 

[Luckylucci]

Claypool had offseason ankle surgery. Sounds minor but they won't rush him back. BK says that they'll take it easy with him for the first several days at Culver.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Maybe two years ago, but not last year.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

TBF, they specifically asked about his day-to-day availability for the first month of the season. Kelly knows he's unavailable and he's giving the same type of response he did for Stepherson and Dex.

Let's wait and see how Austin performs in practices open to the media. He'll be an option from games 5-14, Kelly might speak a little more glowingly at that point.

And we've heard nothing but good things about Austin's work ethic during summer workouts.

Let's hope so, because on the surface, that didn't sound great for Austin's future with Notre Dame.

I know. I'm really trying to find some positive in that response. After all of the starving commentary over the past week or two and about how hard Kevin was working, I expected him to explode onto the field in the 5th week. Looks like the other young WRs opportunities just nudged upward.

Unless Kelly just didn't want to discuss Kevin right now. Maybe he feels like Kevin hasn't earned the airtime until he gets past this 4 game suspension.

Or maybe he doesn't even make it to the start of the season.

 

[Irish#1]

This has been BK's mode of operation forever. He rarely says anything substantial about players on suspension.

 

[greyhammer90]

Is Finke going to finally break a full TD punt return this year? He got close a few times last year.

 

[Luckylucci]

Don’t know about that but I think he’s going to have a heck of a year. In general I think this offense is going to put up big numbers. So there will be a lot of beneficiaries.
