Would Price come back?
Love is a top 10 pick for sure. I am not sure where Price would land in the draft. If he came back he could likely be a top 10 pick next year. ND would have to pay him a lot for another year I know. I mean if Price is a second round pick it might be worth it for him to come back.

If this is to become the program we want it to be, then welcome players graduating academically ...
and on the field. I'm sure some will misjudge that the latter has occurred, but that's their decision. (In the case of Price, he is regarded by some as the 2nd RB to come off the board in the upcoming draft.) Let them go with gratitude for what they've done.
I don't want a bunch of Pavias desperately trying to stay in the college game because they are more valuable performance-wise and in $ than they could ever be in the pros.
He gone (mic drop)!
Love is a special talent and while Price is a high-level RB he doesn't have Love's skill sets. Price has nothing to gain in returning and much more to lose. I don't think he becomes a 1st rounder by staying. He is a 4-year guy who has 2 solid years of tape. Based on past drafts, 2nd day for sure, maybe 2nd round depending on how he tests out. If Love can't win the Heisman this year (heck it is really just a QB award), Price isn't going to win it with guys like Jeremiah Smith, Sayin, Pavia and Manning already hyped.
Re: NIL $, it would seem that his NIL $ would be less than Love who, based on various sources in google is $1.5 - 2.0M. Based on 2025 draft, the last pick in the 2nd round = $1.8M AAV, and 3rd round = $1.5M AAV. So unless he projects outside of Day 2, at worst, he makes the same in NIL even if he is picked last in the 3rd round. And he is in the pros and one year closer to his next contract and one less year on the tires which is a big deal for RBs.
It doesn't make sense for ND to "overpay" him in NIL $ since we have a deep RB room and we'd be better served spreading money around than having a bloat for one RB. I think we'd be better served by spending the $$ on the DL (and maybe for Williams) which is the weakest part of our team assuming our current crop of young WRs pan out.
He will get an evaluation.
If he likes it he will go, if not he will stay.
Would take a sizable NIL number to get him to possibly stay...

I agree, and I don't see it happening.

Price is a Day 2 pick
RBs aren't valued as much in the NFL as they once were. Price, however, is really good and he has low mileage, which are points in his favor. I don't see him improving his draft stock above Day 2, so he's almost certainly going to go pro (barring a large NIL deal).
Williams should be back, he'll be a starter and share time with Kedren Young or Nolan James. He'll transfer, though, if he thinks Young and James will beat him out or if he thinks one of the freshman will supplant him (the latter is unlikely).
Guessing he's gone judging by PB's comments and the fact that he took the walk on senior day.
Think that ship has sailed.
Who's PB?

He mentioned Love, Price and Wagner specifically when talking about kids that wouldn't
get to play for ND again.
Perhaps if the price is right.
Who knows how to calculate this from his or ND's best interest?
What about Aneyas?
