Hugh Freeze may have just saved his job with huge recruiting flip to Auburn. Knight said he [LINK] - whatsamataU - 3:05pm 10/4/24 (10) [View All]

  - How do you know this? [NT] - Chrisb - 8:06pm 10/4/24
  - Whatever he told him about building a dynamic offense must have worked. Foo Foo Dust or not. [NT] - whatsamataU - 6:32pm 10/4/24
    - No, that was the deal breaker. ND would not promise that (nor should they ever for several reasons) [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 6:37pm 10/4/24
- Same way Jimbo saved his job by overpaying recruits. That worked out well for all involved. - Clem - 4:45pm 10/4/24

- For all of those calling for Angeli consider the high number of sacks he's had in a relatively - captaincoyle - 5:12pm 10/4/24
  - Don't try to talk sense to these idiots. They're the "the backup is always the better option" crowd - Clem - 5:27pm 10/4/24
- If the situation arises that ND needs to run a 2 minute drill, who do you think - ColeyO - 3:48pm 10/4/24
- Angeli would improve the passing game two-fold this season. He can run too. - ThePaleHorseman - 2:56pm 10/4/24
- The same could be said about Leonard, he aint - ColeyO - 12:02pm 10/4/24
  - That's an easy thing to say because most likely nobody is taking us to the promise land this year, - THEISMANCARR - 1:05pm 10/4/24
    - There's no shot at winning a playoff game with RL - holybull101 - 1:34pm 10/4/24

  - Well said, if ND had some stud receivers, this wouldn't be a discusion - ColeyO - 11:53am 10/4/24
- He has elite route awareness and accuracy - MarkHarman - 10:20am 10/4/24

W/ the portal, losing an unproven HS QB isn't that big a deal. How you use the portal is a big deal [NT] - oldirish - 4:41pm 10/3/24 (6) [View All]

  - You can't lose something you never had [NT] - ColeyO - 5:59pm 10/3/24
  - Total agreement with this. Those who say the contrary are just fooling themselves. [NT] - NDQuebec - 5:43pm 10/3/24
- Sick of hearing all this B.S. about Knight...same crap all over like Dante Moore. Look where..... - NEPA Irish - 4:05pm 10/3/24
  - Which makes my point in the article that the staff needs to learn their lesson at QB - Frankie V - 6:35am 10/4/24

Not knocking the kid, but does anyone believe Angeli has NC winning potential? - iairishcheeks - 8:27am 10/3/24 (40) [View All]
