If we’re going to give Freeman a pass on this year, then the admin has to give him a one year pass on the transfer portal to fill in some gaps on offense. Get a proven WR and QB. Get an edge rusher or two and a safety.
Even if CJ reclassifies, ND needs a stop gap at QB. I really like Buchner but outside the poor play, he’s made of glass.
I like Styles, Colzie, Thomas, and Merriweather, and hopefully the incoming freshman class sticks. But we can’t count on any freshman stepping up. Absolutely imperative to get at least one good receiver in there and then maybe a depth type of transfer.
