*Notre Dame* - On Vacation

I respect his decision and will not request any interviews

 

This feels like the one you actually shouldn't respect his decision

 

I’ll take an early enrollee CB. We need so much more talent back there.

 

Staff has already floated the possibility that he gets moved to safety.

 

We need that too

 

I’d think Barnes would be a better safety candidate.

 

Keep wondering if they are going to get the DE committed to OU and Abiara goes there once they cut him loose?

 

Fire up the trade machine

 

Loy gonna let us know about usc negative recruiting that went too far with Riley. Riley mentioned a couple of times in the interview that a key to his visit to Nd is that he saw it was diverse...makes me think USC was saying Nd was all white peoples or something.

 

Dr. Crawford diagnosed Riley with a narcissism complex.

 

We sure seem to do a good job containing our covid cases to people that don’t actually play.

although the way prister worded his tweet makes me think he knows who it is and it’s not an insignificant player.

 

At this point I’m all for just ending the regular season and getting to the conference championship game. Nobody outside the ACC seems like they’re going to end up playing 10 regular season games.

 

Only your first 8 games should be taken into consideration imo. Fair is fair and whatnot

 

this will be the ACC argument for 2 teams

let them play

 

If there was ever a year to expand to 8 teams. Give the BYUs and Cincinnati and coastal Carolina a chance.

 

Give me Liberty or give me death. (Not really though)

 

Riley was such a big re-add (talent and position need) and the fact that he visited with his dad in Oct makes me feel a lot better about him. He was one of the few kids (Diggs is another) who had not visited campus so it makes it tough to view them as a firm commit. Being #2 in the country I'm sure helped too although he did visit before we beat Clemson.

 

Fuuuuuuuuuck Liberty

 

Jokes on you. Liberty didn't even exist when I was college age.

Haha I'm old.

 

also Ceyair Wright is visiting ND again in early Dec (this will be his second time visiting in Dec after coming to the banquet last year)

I know he's an actor and West Coast kid but 2 trips on your own dime, the 2nd of which you can't even see the coaches or the players is saying quite a bit

 

Let’s hope this works out better than the last Ceyair W. from CA

 

was a decent player actually, trash human being obviously

 

G5 teams have inflated rankings because none of them played against P5 non-conference games. If the expand the playoffs to 6 or 8, sure maybe give them a look but no way in hell should they be considered for a four team playoff. It'd be one thing if Cinci had a win over a team like Tennessee, Iowa, Illinois to reach for a transitive property data point but we don't even have that

 

Bama
ND
OSU
Clemson
Cincinnati
BYU
Oregon/USC winner

One of Liberty, Coastal, ATM, Wisky/IU winner, but UF beating Bama in the eliminates this one.

 

If ND ends up 11-1 with a respectable loss to Clemson in the ACC title game, you're going to have a tough time convincing me that anyone else should be in above us. The other options would be like:

-6-1 Wisconsin with a Big 10 Champ loss to OSU
-One loss 7-1 / 8-1 Texas A&M without an invite to SEC title game
-Undefeated Oregon or USC who didn't play a non Pac 12 team
-Undefeated Cinci, who didn't play a P5 team

 

Not sure the PAC12 is going to even get 5 games in

 

If there is one thing to hope for it’s that Indiana upsets Ohio State and locks them out of the picture. Ohio state would only have 7 games and no conference championship game. (Maryland cancelled)

 

Guys please lets just focus on our immediate goal of winning the ACC and trolling the fuck out of everyone for the rest of our lives.

 

Fingers crossed we will have be tied with the highest regular season Acc winning percentage (and probably all time if you factor in the number of acc games).

 

I'm betting in MACtion games where I know nothing about any of the teams. I might be a degenerate gambler.

 

depends on the amounts

 

.

 

Not too much. Enough to keep me interested

 

When he lets his guard down a little bit, he’s a very good interview.

 

I’d love to kick the tires on Jowon Briggs with Franklin in the portal, too.

 

Weird I had heard they weren’t going to take him because Doerer was coming back

 

If he's good enough, you take him. Like taking Doerer when Yoon was coming back.

 

Polian does a pretty damn good job identifying kickers so he must be worth the take

 

The kid says on the interview he knows he has to wait a year to play

 

Not sure DT is a position we need a transfer at

 

Bryan was rated as a SIX star kicker by the kicking guru guy. Though I have lost faith in special teams gurus after the long snapper guy said the long snapper we got last year was the best ever and he does not even start over a walk on

 

I’m all for taking a kicker but the offer list does not scream six stars

Bryan also held offers from Air Force, Army, Colorado, Navy and Yale.

 

At least he doesn't have a bama offer, then you'd know for sure he sucks ass

 

Wake versus duke off this weekend, wake got hit by covid

 

Wow Loy saying we may take up to 25 this year

 

With Patterson out I’m hoping they move Hainsey inside to C and drop Lugg at his most natural position at RT. Feel like I heard Hainsey was taking snaps at C early in the season largely in part because of COVID and having multiple people prepared. Honestly think it helps Hainsey draft wise as well as I think he’s probably a later round guy and showing C versatility could slide him up the board.

Edit: saw someone earlier ask if Patterson makes the protection calls and if that is the case have to think Hainsey would be perfect to take that responsibility.
