List of realistic potential options? If so I will and any mod that has a new one feel free to change the post as I may miss it or not be on at that time. And to help me out Wooly because I'm going to have to step away for a second. Will you post below this what I should start with and when I come back I'll put it up.

Could it be a 2012 class prospect if the were and EE?

If they were an EE it would be possible.

Wouldn't it be an interesting trend if kids started graduating early to do two graduate years instead of one? I mean, with early enrollment, AP credits, summer school and whatnot it isn't unreasonable to see a kid graduate in three and a half years, especially at some of the less academically challenging programs. Then you get a two year master's at a premier program of your choice, plus premier players have two years to step into a favorable depth chart situation.

This was exactly what I was thinking. The statement is apparently the player will be graduating this spring, but no one has mentioned what year of school the player may be in. That would open up a bunch of possibilities.

the occams razor pick has to be wright no?

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Anthony Zettel from Penn State? Starting DT for them just a thought and name to throw out there.

So does this take away from a 5th year or a '15 recruit.

Indeed, it would

I guarantee we wouldn't fill up the 85 limit with recruits and our 5 fifth years. I don't think a transfer would be taking anyone's spot.

There are quite a lot of players that could come back, and most of them could contribute to the team. Currently, with our 22 commits, I have 9 guys coming back (Golson, Carlisle, Martin, Hegarty, Ishaq, Grace, Schmidt, Farley and Hardy) and would already put us at 87 scholarship players for next season.

And we're probably still going to add 2-4 more recruits, too.

They wouldn't add somebody that can't contribute at a higher level then the person who doesn't get a spot.

This class of potential 5Ys is the deepest of Kelly's tenure. Almost guaranteed that some contributing veterans won't be asked back. That's never happened before. Needless to say, we'll definitely be at 85 after NSD. Will that hold up until our first game? Probably not. But we'll at least be starting from a stronger position than usual.

OFD analyzes the 5Y decisions here.

You want to bet some money on us not having 85 scholarship players by the deadline?

It hasn't happened in as long as I can remember.

Arik Armstead would be about my #1 wish.

Are you saying 85 at signing day or the game versus Texas?

completely agree, it's a non-issue. there are so many question marks with potentially returning players that it is inevitable there will be open spots (as always). Some may not be reinstated; some have serious injuries; some may go to the NFL; others will transfer. There will be room in the end.

Off the top of my head and without considering other potential transfers or suspensions or 5th years who aren't asked back, all of the following are question marks for next year:

Golson
Williams
Daniels
Hardy
Grace
Day
Stanley

 

[connor_in]

I don't see it being a RB. My guess is another nickelback

Chad Kroeger?

Take this name off the list, no way in hell.

Whatever the final date for reporting an 85 man roster is, I know there is a specific date, but I cant remember.

Somebody help us out here.

well we have had a rash of players of being dismissed

-- According to Irish Illustrated's Pete Sampson, senior safety Eilar Hardy is expected to graduate from Notre Dame in May and will transfer elsewhere.

With this recent information, I got to believe it's a safety.

With only Shumate and Redfield as returning safeties, and possibly Farley who was mostly a nickelback this past season, we need another body for sure now. Tranquill I guarantee you, will not be 100% by fall camp. I also doubt Kelly wants to play McKinney, Mykelti Williams or Nicco extensively unless it's due to injuries.

Plus, how many 5th years are going to want to come in for a chance to sit behind Tarrean Folston and compete with Greg Bryant for snaps. Wright is the only one I can imagine wanting to do that since its basically coming home for him.
