What do people trust/want more? - Absher to replace Jagusah straight up - Knapp moves inside with the better of Lambert/Black getting the LT role
i think the former is safer, the latter has higher upside, given the schedule id probably go with the former
Guerby has really only worked at RT since he got to ND, which leads me to believe it’s Black if Knapp moves inside
Yea and it probably keeps him here another year while getting him for the back half of the schedule. I have faith in rudolf getting it right and they have Bryce young to test the shit out of that spot.
What a selfish and stupid move by Jags. Selfish for ‘team glory’ and stupid for individual purposes. Going to have even less tape for draft people to look at, gets the injury prone label plus bad decision maker one as well. Lighting future money on fire
More silver linings (typing through tears): -Jagusah almost certainly has to come back for 2026 now because he'll have like 4 games of tape, so next year's team just got better -We know Rudolph will play the five best to beat Miami regardless of age, so I don't expect a half measure against Miami -One more younger guy getting developed by the back half of the season
Coming to players Nil deal in the future ‘Stay the fuck away from any utv activities if you want these checks still coming in’
In brighter news, Skylar Diggins and Sonia Citron are WNBA All Stars. Very impressive for Citron as a rookie
The third best player on last year's team is a WNBA all-star within 4 months of the end of the season and they didn't even make the Elite 8
whenever things go too well we’re always reminded that there’s a very clear ceiling to ND happiness The Duality of Fan or some such shit
And Hidalgo and Miles are playing together for team USA and doing well. Ivey mismanaged that team in a spectacular way. She is a great person (from my understanding) and the school loves her but she's going to have to change a lot if she wants to keep her job.
Are we the only team that’s favored in every game this year? Maybe OSU assuming they will be favored in the Big 10 title game? Just saying, man, this is one hell of an opportunity to get the one seed now that we can get a bye
It’s at OSU and OSU looks to be 3 point favorites I don’t see lines for every OSU game but I think they would be favorites over PSU at home and Illinois on the road, so probably favorites on every game too
Peyton Houston taking the Bowden bag and going to SC Wonder if we'll get more 2027 offers out or if they will go all-in on Jarrad
Charles is taking a beating in national media for the Utv thing. He may need to come back for another year now to show he can play a season without getting utt.
If he's out until mid-season or later, I think he definitely needs to come back. He'd have like 8 games of game tape and two major injuries with a pretty questionable decision I also wonder if he will have NIL clawbacks if he doesn't come back
Update from Brice: Clean break coming back end of sept hopefully It was at Luke’s estate - they had a bunch of military and cops out there as a seminar with 13-14 players. he was driving and had his hand out the window. sucks but it’s more understandable.
Strength guy has them getting in full speed rollovers to handfight the ground? That's some Rocky IV shit.
I've heard in more than one place that Ziegler could get an offer a couple weeks into the season with better film. ND's not alone there. I think Texas told him the same. He could be an option. Apparently the tools are great, but he needs to clean up his decision making.
Thought of how Blake Fisher had a similar injury (just a fracture) and they just put it in a sling and then still needed surgery. Sounds like with a clean break requird surgery right away which is better for timing of a return.
Given my numerous dumb dude drinking and sports injuries, if it not a full break they may want to evaluate it first, then surgery later. With a full break it’s surgery immediately so hopefully a quicker recovery.
Bryce Young got done dirty by NCAA 26. Only a 77 overall. Whole DL is rated pretty low. Lot of depth guys missing and/or replaced with fake players.
Are the missing players transfers or freshmen? Last year the roster was incomplete until after those players enrolled.
