but it would not at all be a surprise to see a mass exodus.

Just my thoughts. Whether or not players already have handlers or get handlers post season it will make a huge difference in what ND looks like next season.

1. I wouldn't blame Angeli or Minchey for going. Given, that Minchey has already looked around per rumors I'd say he's gone (see: Mickey).
2. Carr would need a guarantee (IMO) that there is a chance for a *real* competition and not another situation where the job is automatically handed over to whomever they bring in from the portal. Otherwise, he's gone (much lower odds).
3. Price, feels like he stays, but he could easily be a top back somewhere if actually given carries. Love will have to really "love" ND or someone will poach him with money. He has that level of talent. The same could be said for Price. The younger backs will depend on their temperament for not really playing.
4. From a WR perspective, much like the QBs I wouldn't fault anyone for leaving. The window for making a mark in college and prepping for a potential NFL gig is closing. The mismanagement, bad decisions, and very poor QB play severely impacts any WR at ND from having a real chance of being drafted. Like it or not, every top tier player desires to play in the NFL. College is only an auditioning ground. Additionally, the offense for years seems only to want to showcase a TE, if we do decide to throw the ball downfield. I think Faison stays strictly for Lacrosse (unfortunately a great talent, but injured this season). It would not surprise me to lose at least two if not more from this position.
