    Buchner probably leaves bc this guy is as mobile as him but maybe not. Strikes me as a guy who would love coaching and learning for 5 years as a backup

    Someone made a good point, Buchner has a sister coming, his family wants the ND degree, he’ll stick around until he graduates imo.

    Maybe it’s just the nature of preserving coaching sources but entire beat getting fooled by the Bowen recruitment for like the 100th time in this situation is really strange

    Uh oh. This is as close to a hold on to your butts post that d3 will do.

    This is going to be a bit of a wild offseason for Notre Dame and college football. The transfer portal is going to only grow, not get smaller. We are going to see more and more and more kids jump in chasing NIL deals and looking for playing time.

    Notre Dame is going to have a very interesting offseason as well from what I am hearing. I’ve heard from multiple sources already that there will be a decent amount of roster shakeup this offseason. We’ll see some guys jump in the portal that are expected, and some that maybe are not to a lot of us. There might even be some kids that are asked to leave for a number of reasons. I’ve hinted about this in the past but there were some issues this year, and not everyone was bought in to the plan, and other kids are unhappy with how playing time went down (some justified, some not), and I think we are going to see a lot of movement.

    This is partly why Notre Dame keeps loading up with high school kids, and we’re obviously going to see them try and tap into the portal for spots as well. They’ll look for impact players the best they can but also look for depth like they did with Chris Smith last year.

    There are also some kids that need to be convinced to come back and not go in the portal, so even some kids who don’t jump in will come very close. I’m especially curious to see what happens at linebacker. You can’t keep playing veterans over and over, have them struggle, then have them all come back for 5th seasons and expect younger players to be happy about it. That’s going to be an interesting situation this offseason as well.

    Yikes, that seems to hint at Sneed and/or Collie going (or wanting to go)

    The BC game where Sneed went Bobby Boucher on 3 plays in garbage time followed by Bertrand/Marist/Kiser looking like they were playing 2-hand touch against USC probably wasn't good for Sneed

    I like the idea of Marist moving to vyper and then have kollie/Bertrand and Kiser/sneed rotate

    As much as I would like him to be, I just don't think Marist is a LB. He has no feel for the game. He should move to Vyper and go straight forward without having to read anything

    The other aspect is with every major coaching change generally comes with pretty immediate roster overhaul. Kids naturally leave, and in pretty large numbers. We surprisingly didn’t see much of that last year, likely due to how likable Freeman is and how guys were willing to give him a shot.

    It’s inevitable that the attrition occurs. In our case, it may have just came with a one year delay.

    agreed, that's why Harry was so adamant about getting 5 OL guys this year even though numbers say he doesn't need to

    some of those guys are getting close to a ND degree though...they may be willing to wait it out 1 more season and then grad transfer

    regarding Peyton Bowen...I never applied to ND but I'm guessing it's a pretty rigorous process so the fact that it's all done says quite a bit to me

    And Minchie had his paperwork all in at Pitt as well.

    And I'm sure OU recruits talk to Bowen on a daily basis and "share a good laugh" about how he's a couple weeks from flipping.

    Just feeling like a kid telling everyone what they want to hear.
