What's the over/under on how many top 100 (Scout) players ND will sign for 2022? - NDavenue - 10:17am 4/3/21 (13) [View All]
- Why Scout? Rivals is more reputable [NT] - holybull101 - 3:39pm 4/3/21
  - Just because it is easier to see a list of prospects/offers by school. Rivals doesn't have that. - NDavenue - 4:00pm 4/3/21

  - Why? Leave him at RB where he would have a huge advantage [NT] - Irish_Demon - 3:19pm 3/23/21
    - WHY...are folks here always trying to move guys!? Dude is a legit RB let him be one. [NT] - Karamello - 6:51pm 3/23/21

  - But can he play the game? A lot of jacked guys are not good players. Who blocks/ Who has good hands? - THEISMANCARR - 8:55pm 3/23/21
    - His film looks good. But, we have zero evidence that he would make a good LB. Aldridge was a bust... - NDavenue - 8:00am 3/24/21

- It’s great, but the CFP is won with offense these days & QB/ WR recruiting has to follow. - BaronVonZemo - 10:12pm 3/21/21
  - We frequently have a "hole" in the offensive skill positions at a really bad time. - jakers - 1:13pm 3/22/21
    - Jakers is correct...heck the 2015 team with a competent d - beefy78 - 3:01pm 3/22/21
      - The defensive roster was more than competent - ndunabomber - 7:40am 3/23/21
  - I really don't see how we can (or need) to do any better at WR. - NDavenue - 7:39am 3/22/21
    - Can’t speak to wr’s I haven’t seen,but none who played flashed “NFL”. AgreeQB arm was biggest issue - BaronVonZemo - 1:58pm 3/22/21
      - Just speaking to their rankings. Can never know for sure until they play. [NT] - NDavenue - 3:41pm 3/22/21
    - Yup. WR recruiting has been a recent strong point - Nigel Tufnel - 8:56am 3/22/21
      - Yep. And it's been frustrating to say the least. [NT] - NDavenue - 9:20am 3/22/21
        Don't get me wrong...I'm not Anti-Kelly...but it seems as though he worries more about - TyroneIrish - 11:24am 3/22/21
        I agree with your opening statement. [NT] - oldirish - 11:00pm 3/22/21
        
        I'm leaning towards it not being Kelly's fault and more that we've had a run of bad luck at QB. - NDavenue - 3:46pm 3/22/21
  - Defense had some holes, though - ndunabomber - 7:13am 3/22/21
  - Buchner is the QB of the future. Coan will start in '21, but... - Domer From Hell - 11:39pm 3/21/21
    - The annual high school Sr. is the savior call. [NT] - oldirish - 11:01pm 3/22/21
      - Reading comprehension. Buchner is the QB of the future. What is it about that you don't understand [NT] - Domer From Hell - 11:27pm 3/22/21
        You're way off base. What was the last season of football the kid played??? HS - oldirish - 8:43pm 3/24/21
        
        Call on a missed snap will be..."The ball gets by Buchner..." - TakethetrainKnute - 8:43am 3/23/21
        
        he’s played 1 season at QB in HS back in 2018 [NT] - holybull101 - 11:50pm 3/22/21
- "...a change that was needed if no other reason for the rest of the staff to see it" - tky21 - 9:46pm 3/21/21
- Marcus. Freeman. Offense recruiting needs to get in lock step with Freeman. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 9:14pm 3/21/21
