Interesting... Would seem to be academically qualified coming from AF, even with him not being a grad transfer: Air Force football loses two-year starting cornerback Michael Mack II to transfer portal Seems like a solid, experienced starter at CB. Is he someone worth going after and who could provide value to the D? I'm thinking he has to have 2 years left to play. He's already talking to WI and I think OK State.

I think we can turn our attention away from the transfer portal now lol

Stewart going to the portal would be phenomenal for us. He's going to get fucking paid if he enters too.

I actually like taking Riley Leonard as a high upside option when you know you've got Angeli, who at the very least will be able to run the offense, behind him. Riley could actually be a 2 year start unless my Covid year math is off.

Unless Brady Cook or Michael Pratt are interested, he may be your best bet.

Loy is hinting pretty hard about Riley Leonard being a real possibility.
Since he wasn't an EE he probably won't have his degree. Getting him through admissions just like Brandon Joseph before him would support my theory that ND can take non-grad transfers that are 2-3 years out of HS as long as they attend an elite academic institution. Freeman needs to have Bowden or someone else that will tamper the hell out of the good 2nd and 3rd year players from Stanford, Northwestern, Duke, and Vanderbilt.

I'd be excited if Leonard came- like I've said previously, I don't think ND can get anyone better this offseason

Didn't Leonard run for 600 yards last year? That's like five 1st downs a game on that alone. Not insignificant.

That's the big thing for me. I've always maintained that in order for a northern team to compete with sec speed, an athlete at qb is an absolute must. The guy needs to give you 4-5 1st downs/ game when nothing is there.

Now the accuracy/ lack of tds this year gives me and many others pause. If we had a qb whisperer as a coach, I'd feel more confident. Maybe bring Cutcliffe up from Carolina as an analyst? He's 69 and works for the sec apparently.

Came to appreciate Book this year when our offense stalled over and over in big games. Ability to pick up a first down here and there with your legs is such a massive edge.

^^THIS^^

And the OC doesn't seem to understand when the OL is somewhat 'overpowered' based on opposing defensive calls that; slants, button-hooks and PA should be run.

Also mentioned that we're looking at Cam Ward from Washington State


Just saw that!

Well hell... That would be pretty sweet too.

Maybe I'm reading way too much into this, but if ND is seriously talking to those type of guys, they must have someone they're pitching as an OC for next year too.


No way 2 guys with serious NFL potential would even pick up the phone otherwise, right?

Serious question, how are we "looking" at someone, so much so in Riley's case the beats are running with it when they haven't even hit the portal? ND showing they'd tamper would be a level of commitment to winning we know they don't have. So how does this work pre portal?

We knew Hartman was coming before he entered the portal. They tamper. Just not enough
