*Notre Dame* - On Vacation

I really liked Watts coming in. Surprised we didn't see him at all. Considering everyone was getting an additional year and nobody burned one.

I hope Watts and or Styles has an impact

 

Kelly is obsessed with being physical which is the focus from like 5 years ago of Clemson and bama. That includes skill positions and freshman wrs are not physical

 

If none of Johnson, Colzie, Watts, Thomas, or Styles can make an impact next year, it’s a coaching problem. They’re all talented guys and other teams plug in young receivers

 

*If* BK ended up at Texas, who do we end up with? Fickell, Campbell, or Urban?

 

Urban

 

Hmmmm good options. At this point would probably prefer Campbell but Fickell is growing on me. Also like the fact he was a intern HC at Ohio St so he understands the burden of big program a bit more. Campbell can go 8-4 at Iowa St and he will have a statue in Ames

 

Why? He could get drafted.

 

I’d say he’s right on the border. He’s no Louis Nix but maybe in one more year he could greatly improve his draft stock and be a captain.

 

They already hired Sark

 

ok but what else do we have to talk about?

 

Jahmir Smith and Jafar Armstrong on way out. Isn't Armstrong and Johnson related?

 

Should be interesting.

 

Well we all saw that one coming. ESP with the size of this class. Let’s hope they are all guys who suck

 

Good. Need to turn over the dead weight

 

Did we ever definitively find out why the Stanford RB got processed / never played?

Did he actually get here in the summer and they realized Kyren, Tyree, and C’Bo had this covered so just let him get processed?

 

Did not expect high numbers. Killy must be still mad about the presser

 

Having them all wait until after the last game shows this was orchestrated which is great

 

We could look back and say this transfer portal with a pool of more mature players that are known quantities is where we turned the corner - I feel really good that we can sell the 40 year degree to these guys more than 16 year olds

 

Jahmir Smith
Jafar Armstrong
John Olmstead
Jamion Franklin
Kofi Wardlow
Isaiah Robertson
Jordan Genmark Heath

thats 7 already that we know about

Guess another LB and another DB

 

Wants to help recruit his brother.

 

Micah Jones tweeted that he graduated a few weeks ago. He gone.

 

No one I think was going to contribute on that list. So huge if we can churn like that and take 25 in every class

 

think this is the norm going forward, ND is gonna graduate these guys and move on

 

Remarkable - never thought I’d see it in my life

 

This feels like the scene in Goodfellas where they play Layla and clean up the Lufthansa heist loose ends. Kelly just cleaning out everyone who wasn’t going to contribute after last night

 

Jack Lamb is going to be a senior and is buried on the depth chart.

 

this was the LB I thought would leave

 

I think we can also expect one of Clark or Pyne to be gone too, but that might not happen until after spring.

 

So Omally signaling not everyone will be a guy buried but that no one will be too mad

 

Lamb should to be honest. Go back home and go to SDSU and start. Give yourself a shot at making a splash and going to NFL.

 

He got hurt immediately

 

And probably was hurt before he got here

 

Lenzy is a guy I could see or maybe Keys. Guys who played more last year but didn't seem to be in Rees plans

 

Either QB would fit that

 

Wright going to USC. I, for one, am shocked.

 

lol

 

Basketball on accn against unc. Which is a thing that I would have been very excited about a couple of years ago

 

We're changing the offense to the triple option.

 

Good for him. Was a great rep of ND and got his degree. Turned down offers to walk on hope he gets his shot to play.

 

he will, probably end up in the Ivy League or Patriot league easily

 

He could probably transfer to FSU or USC and start

 

I mentioned it in the other thread but this was the first time in while Kelly had a play sheet. Was he calling plays or make any comment on that.

 

If he’s behind both Clark and Buchner after spring I’d be surprised if he stayed.

 

Decent first half so far. We’re shooting well. This kind of looks like one of the fun Brey teams we all loved.

 

Maybe why Powlus was brought in. Thats not many arms if one may transfer.

Also of note. NFL is gonna get messy soon. Jags/Jets and a hot name is Ryan Day. Could we see Ohio St open up?

 

This is a funny tweet

 

Honestly.... wouldn’t hate that. Let him go take the saban masterclass and beef up his resume to succeed Kelly.

 

There’s a near zero percent chance Ian Book is on Nick Saban’s list, yet alone at the top of it.
