*Notre Dame* - On Vacation

I don't think BK was calling plays while Long was here. My fear is Rees will have a bad game or two and BK takes over

 

Tough to argue

 

John Shannon was named the inaugural recipient of the Patrick Mannelly Award, given to the best long snapper in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Joe Burrow won the Heisman but Shannon won the Mannelly...who is to say which is more prestigious

Gotta be a tough award to give out, I would have to think a good amount of snappers essentially have a 100% success rate but maybe there's a bunch of nuances I don't really understand.

 

For the uninitiated it may see subtle but look closer at tape like this and see there is a difference between a mere snap and a work of breathtaking beauty.



Peitsch is an artist. The brush is the football, the canvas is between his legs. Exciting times ahead for ND football.

 

Honestly he longsnaps such a fast and accurate ball he wins his punter some time

Crawford coming back

 

That is pretty big

And also

 

Crawford comin back is huge.

 

I’m not sure he actually announced he was coming back. He probably will come back, but I think the post he made was referred to playing in the bowl game, not coming back for another year.

 

I read it as another year.

unless there was talk of him skipping the bowl.

 

I did not want to rain on people's parade in here (there are other ppl that are better equipped for that) but thought he was just talking about the upcoming game but there has been talk that he has been more receptive to coming back than previously thought

 

Yeah one of the beat writers talked with him and sensed that he and the team were open to him coming back. But it appears this tweet was just about getting one more game with this team

 

This thread is lively. Has to be the most boring recruiting cycle ever for ND. There has not been a new commitment since July 5th. I don't think ND flipped a single kid during the process or had anyone decommit. Pretty rare for either of those to occur during a recruiting cycle let alone both. Hope everyone has set aside their plans for tmrw for Ramon Henderson's announcement

 

this is a jinx if i've ever seen one. Tyree to Bama.

 

It will liven things up at least and I am used to disappointment

 

Recruiting has changed so much. On one hand it's cool to get a strong class locked up well in advance. On the other, it leaves little room for excitement.

 

You won’t see me complain, excitement in recruiting when you follow nd means bad news 90% of the time.

 

truth

 

So we are going to land Ramon Henderson it seems. Sounds good to me. Needed another CB in his class.

 

Checks out. I think of the first 10 "big, fun, prolonged recruitments" I thought of off the top of my head from when I paid super close attention to recruiting, only 1 ended well lol

Manti Te'o
Seantrel Henderson
Chris Galippo
Arrelius Benn
Martez Wilson
Omar Hunter
Demetris Robertson
Eddie Vanderdoes
Marvin Austin
Josh Oglesby

 

Need all the db bodies

hope they look at the starting corner who’s transferring from Stanford

 

Henderson at CB seems like a square peg in a round hole kind of fit, but he ran a 10.5 100 meters in HS so sign him up and figure out where to play him

Wouldn't be surprised if he and Watts flipped positions

 

We forget a lot of the good ones though

Tuitt
Nix
Aaron Lynch

 

How about Ishaq Williams? I was so pumped when he signed.

 

Yeah, nd won that one too. And max redfield. And both these dudes sucked.

I was also so pumped for ishaq, seems like such a good dude. Perfect length and size for the rush olb in a 34 scheme...but that was it. Probably not his fault but he did not pan out

 

Bottom line, The drama queens do not deserve the time

 

Between Buchner and this, HS stats on offense are changing considerably

 

That’s 3 years of stats for Johnson

His high school runs the ball a ton IIRC so he doesn’t have big time stats

 

Oh shit I totally read that wrong

 

happy signing days fellas! may the stars be plentiful and the flips be towards us

 

Won’t be at a computer most of today, any live signing day stuff worth listening to today?

 

Who the fuck is this german boi

 

weve had him in the fold for ages. He has a ton of tools but hell take a couple of years

 

he’s gonna get his ass kicked for like two years, we will all forget about him, then he’s gonna be a two year starter

kid is outrageously big and quick

 

there is one thing to consider. This kid played club ball. He has probably been playing against fully grown men for a few years already. So he is used to playing against people bigger/stronger/faster

 

So in I've seen:
Alexander Ehrensberger
Drew Pyne
Chris Tyree
Jay Brunelle
Xavier Watts
Jordon Johnson
Michael Mayer
Kevin Baumann
Michael Carmody
Tosh Baker
Rylie Mills
Aidan Kaenaenaia (sp?)
Clarence Lewis
Caleb Offord
Landon Bartleson
Alex Peitsch
Isaiah Pryor(grad transfer)

So that means were waiting on:
Jordan Bothelo


And possibly
Ramon Henderson

edit: Almost everyone is in

 

you forgot bothelo, but with his time zone i don't think he will be able to sign for a while.

 

yeah, i fucked up cuz of isaiah pryor. Thought i had my numbers but the grad transfer of course isnt part of the class size

 

Johnson officially signed

 

only bothelo and henderson to wait for. Just for kicks im watching McMillen just to see if he already signs

 

Came here to post that our social media team hit these out of the park.

 

I'll be shocked if Tyree signs also....err...umm.....wait...

 

Honestly the least emotional recruiting cycle ever. No flips either way. Not many commitments where we didnt know well ahead that they were coming

 

May was a pretty fun month. Then for a long time nothing happened.

 

ow yeah. There needs to be some good news to not be emotional. I guess you could remove tyree and johnson and get 4-5 more top250 but not top 100 kinda kids to make it even more bland, yet solid

 

Early signing period has been a good thing for ND
