There still needs to be a pretty hefty culling on the roster. Rough current scholarship count is somewhere around 94. If you add a DL guy (Fiske) and a QB, somehow we need get to find about 10 guys to shed. LB seems to be a place we could afford to shed at least one.
Given relatively light experience throughout the roster and next year's schedule, I wouldn't expect ND to be competing for a NC. One of Freeman's goals next year should be building the experience of the higher talent guys on his roster rather than putting guys out there who just aren't impact playmakers. I get where Kiser/Liufau/Betrand are competent, hard working lbs, but I can probably count the number of high impact plays the three of them combined to make in 22 using just my fingers.
