Hits keep coming for highly ranked speed guys, definitely not good for recruiting.

But you’re right - ND is doomed. Shut the place down with Styles gone. Little chance that any program recovers from a blow like this. Game over - lights out.
He was a bust at WR, and just moved to corner as a junior behind underclassmen. At most he would be a ST player this season.
year’s QB shitshow. Our player development has issues.
It’s also not like we have amazing depth at the position.
You can downplay it but it’s a loss.
because if he panned out at CB he has the physical attributes to be a great one.
Now we might see him have a bright career at CB, just for someone else...I'd call that a loss.

He had a very good Fr year and regressed a little last year but 54 rec. 700 yds. and 4.3 speed isn't easy to replace, besides I think he would've flourished with Hartman and more usage of the deep ball in the offense this year. He played CB for one practice and ONE snap of the previous practice, that's hardly a move to CB.
Their down to 5 receivers (not counting walkons) that aren't freshman. Against this schedule and possible injuries they need as many receivers as can line up. Flores, Greathouse & James could be great but we won't know until real bullets are being shot.
This was a kid that we all thought was going to be a difference maker after his freshman year. He underperforms last year, but I think many were hoping he would return to form with a better QB and possibly offensive play calling. So, the loss is a loss of expectations. It bothers me that we can't seem to get a true difference maker at key offensive skill positions.

And suddenly he's not a WR? This is a big loss. I remember him thinking about taking off last off season too though and didn't have a great season last year.
I wish him the best and hope Colzie steps up big time!
Which is what they were recruiting him for out of HS.

The Buckeyes are loaded at WR and weak at CB. He won't be going there to play WR.
Some ppl don't know Football plain and simple and 54rec 700yds with 4.3 speed dont grow on trees and more importantly won't be looking to come to ND if they all keep transferring out!!
Those receiving numbers are great and all, but there's a reason he was passed over and given a different opportunity to see the field.
Being a great athlete doesn't make someone a good football player or teammate.
that he is a jealous fan of an inferior team,

HOPE HE COMES BACK AND KICKS OUR ASS THIS SEASON

Who caught 8 passes for 136 yds in a major bowl.
Really??? The QB play had alot to do with that

I assumed he was hoping to improve his hands this spring, but reports consistently say that he hasn't. Then Flores and Greathouse apparently showed up looking college ready and the writing was on the wall.
I'm not sure why Styles moving on would affect recruiting at all. He got beat out, moved to a loaded CB depth chart, and finally decided he'll have a better chance to play elsewhere. That happens everywhere. Recruits aren't going to look at it and change their mind about ND football because of it.
