Weird because loy said james has been decided since monday
Yeah, they initially said he was leaving too, but sources at ND told them they felt confident they were changing some guys’ minds. So they then reported he was staying.
Then they got the phone call live on air saying he was leaving again.
Thus Driskell downing 8 Mountain Dews. LOL

People are going to get their moneys worth when his kidneys explode live on air

Good news about any of this is I think they will be after a bigger guy for the hire now. All this backlash this needs to be a proper guy I dont think MF can go with a less formidable hire like the guy from Wisco who hes close with. So right now everyone needs to hop on that oregon train for the weekend.

Also wouldnt be surprised if we try to bring james and rico back when they finally hire someone.

Sounds like their is way too much stuff behind the scenes going on that they don't like. I bet the biggest issue is most of the offensive players don't agree with Parker being OC and it would make sense because basically no defensive players have jumped ship yet.

Hey now, careful. Some people here will tell you we can’t necessarily infer that this is Parker’s fault.

They will point to Chansi or the new portal world, even though we didn’t see anything close to this after Del + no other top team is seeing anything close to the WR attrition that we are.

Who is the cancer here, Parker, Freeman, Stuckey, all of the above?
I believe Parker is the root issue and the fallout is partially that and partially how Freeman handled it thus far (ie scapegoating Stuckey)

Wouldn't surprise me if a lot of these offensive players lookee around college football and had to get 30, 40 programs down the list before finding another program with an OC as inept as ours. Sans Iowa of course.

Sheesh - I go into a couple meetings this afternoon, come back to my desk to check IE, and the place has had a total meltdown.

Seriously, this is the way that college football is going to operate going forward. The off-season is going to be mass chaos going forward. I really don't understand getting all worked up over some players (who most of the naysayers were unhappy with most of them anyway) opting out. They will be replaced - hopefully with better players - and life will go on.

Monday we will not be able to keep up with the number of players entering the portal across college football. This hysteria is something else.

Really? I was thinking the opposite. He's a starter next year if he's not leaving. Am I missing something?
He's not good enough, ND coaches know it, and henderson knows he's not the planned starter even if watts leaves or opposite watts if he knows he's returning

I'm reading it a lot different on the WR; numbers look low now but, oh well?>

Imagine ND WR's were on an opponents team - going into the week you would fear Tyree/Faison getting matched on DJ Brown on a slot-fade. That's it - Take every transfer possible, like the incoming freshmen - tell the current guys this.

Do they feel Stuckey is the best to develop the room to the level needed?> Obviously no - so he's gone. That's what you do.

James - No Idea, I saw him drop a pass against air in warmups this year
Flores - Great work and attitude. JAG athletically. Hope he stays
Tyree- ND man with degree, do you
Tobias - Potential gets you fired - need results.


Now, if Thomas or Greathouse leave - then you got something bad brewing.

So, catching up....

James is confirmed to the portal.

Staes and Rico unconfirmed, but likely?

Do I have this right?

Thomas, Greathouse, Faison - That's our 3 best WRs when healthy before anyone left.

One of the big money donors needs to get all of the power players (Jenkins, Savvy Jack, Pete, MF) in the same room and say, "Here's a blank check. Fire/Demote Parker and go swing our dick and get the best OC and best WR coach that we can buy."

Some of you need to put your big boy pants and big girl pants on, though, wrt the outbound portal.

The transfer portal goes both ways. ND can make it work for them and be better at the end of the day. I just don't like that the news we hear is not what is happening.

That said, we bitched about the WR's all year, and now we're crying that the coach and 1) a guy that can't catch a cold 2) an unproven prospect 3) a guy who had like 1 good game and a couple maybe ok games and 4) the grad student RB turned WR are leaving? Come on.

ACKSHULLY - it doesnt work both ways IMO. We can lose a player to anyone. We can only gain players who are freshman or graduates. So our possible downside pool is 100% - our upside pool is probably ~25% of what is out there every cycle?

As far as the Driskell phone call live on air, then the Ryan Roberts’ James tweet & Rico noise…

It sounds like their sources told them that since the kids had a few more days to decide being underclassmen, ND was working to change their minds.
And that ND felt confident it was working.

Then Driskell got that phone call from a different source telling him “nope.”

So Driskell was freaking out trying to figure what was happening while he live on air.

Ryan Roberts was told James changed his mind & was staying (that’s what ND thought).
But James changed it back, thus the tweet by others.

It’s a shit show right now with what ND staff feel is happening & what is actually happening.

Apparently the staff don’t know their players very well.
