Jerimiah lost a good friend.

Is it possible to get an update on how we are doing?

Not high enough.

Guy looks like he's in his 30's. Kinda like an Oden in cleats. Not as tuned in as thought I was, as feel he came in from left field. Guess he liked the depth ahead of him, and the NIL was sufficient. Hope he is all that and a bag of chips....

Heck, Dabo gets mad about a red stoplight in his way. Was kinda hoping Day would tab Tress to be special teams coach. He's looking for a job, even though he turned down running for governor...

Guess we all concur that, should he don the scarlet & gray, DGG has some rather large shoes to fill. Well, hopefully he gets that chance. Go Bucks!

I hope-a, hope-a, hope....

But I agree that a number of kids would’ve been better off staying at their first school.

the cat is already out of the bag, but I really wish the portal would have developed into what it should have been.

Hot Shot high school kid gives it a shot at a top tier school, but isn't quite good enough, drop down to a G5 or FCS school. No shame in being good enough to play there but not at an elite football school.

High School kid flying under the radar, maybe a late bloomer type goes to small school first and is ready to make the jump? Absolutely, give the kid a shot.

but this jumping around with a bunch of "lateral" moves?
nah fuck that.

Agree Bestbuck.....howsoever, he's going to need someone to get him the ball. Don't know too many PGs that both bring down the ball, and then score it. The point of defense is to deny the open shot, or an easy feed to a big. (or so I was taught). Don't really see the logical successor to Thornton, except for Mobley! Maybe there's someone on the bench, but Diebler is successfully hiding them, and they're certainly not getting many minutes, to hone those PG skills. Smell a portal person coming. With Tilly a one-and-done xfer, Noel iffy, and the big guy from Baylor questionable, Bynum cannot be the lone rebounder. Anyway, going to be a fascinating off-season.

I don't hate it so far. Watching them actually play might make me hate it soon

Apparently there are several #1 RBs in the 2027 class.

He’s got a pretty cool Ping commercial

Notre Dame can now see the light at the end of the tunnel in the race for a borderline five-star recruit once committed elsewhere​

There is now an end in sight for a top Notre Dame recruiting target.

When elite 2027 Middletown (Delaware) Appoquinimink offensive tackle Layton Von Brandt decommitted from Penn State following the firing of head coach James Franklin, things moved incredibly quickly for the Notre Dame program. Head coach Marcus Freeman, Joe Rudolph, and Co. quickly opted to offer the Delaware native, and many believed they became the front runner. Things were in a great place.

With Von Brandt getting a second chance at the recruiting process, there was an intention to not make an impulse decision. While the Fighting Irish were in a great spot, and the assumed leader, he was going to let the process play out. That can be unsettling for the assumed leader, but things have continued to trend in a great direction for Notre Dame.

That includes with the Irish being selected as a finalist for the talented offensive lineman several weeks ago, being put inside of his top eight schools. Notre Dame was joined by Ohio State, LSU, Penn State, Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, and Virginia Tech on that list. It’s an impressive group of suitors, but Notre Dame had as good of a chance as anyone.
.
.
With a group of finalists known, the next natural question is what the decision timeline would be for Von Brandt. It appears we may have gotten that answer this past week, when the Delaware star posted that he target is around the start of his senior season. That means that the end of August-beginning of September should be when a decision and announcement comes.
.
.
As of today, I wouldn’t want to be anyone in this recruitment other than Notre Dame. With so many elite programs after Von Brandt, however, the Irish will have to be ready to battle. Rudolph has shown himself to be an elite recruiter since coming to South Bend, and this would be one of his biggest victories if he can close it out in the future.

Just sayin': Based on the article, the same can be said for Ohio State.

And a loss is a loss. This one hurts, because seemed winnable before the tip. Will be fighting Wiscy for an at-large in the Dance, and when one compares side-by-side, this L will hurt.....

Won't believe it until see the 'Nanners a-dancing....

Just wish Coach J woulda been here, when his lineage of 'Johnsons' went through PSU. Seem to recollect that there more than several that were outstanding players.

BORING….

Not to get off the topic of Dabo, but in fairness to BB73, Bea Arthur was a model back then. Here is a picture of her modeling in a French studio...

I’m pretty sure we spent more than that on Leavitt alone
