It's on my list (all the offers) for this weekend. I think things could be really interesting this off season (portal wise)... both incoming and outgoing... How were Johnson's hands?

NDhoosier 1,221 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Im also wondering how appealing ND would be to a top end QB... Pretty much every QB in the portal left because of playing time issues. Would they want to go to ND knowing they have to compete against Buchner (who was technically the starter this year)? If you are Hudson Card and you left Texas because of Ewers and Manning, would you want to come to ND without a guarantee to start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the OK St QB would be the only kid to get a gaurantee to start from staff unless Drake Maye comes but he aint coming to irish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sources on that, again, I am just thinking out loud about why a QB would come to ND knowing they have to compete for the starting job. Freeman should not make that promise to anyone and there should be a QB battle in the spring/fall to see who starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessemoore97 1,270 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Realistically why not come to ND based on what's in the room and what little PT they have? My concern with our QB recruitment from a player standpoint is am I going to develope as a player and will that give me a shot at the league. We just haven't consistently shown that ability for a long time. Outside of loving ND, I don't see the draw from a possible player business perspective for a QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alabama, Oregon, and Texas AM are leading the way with outgoing transfers. Makes me wonder if these kids are being led astray? Either by what they are being told they’ll make or by playing time. Lastly, wonder when we’ll start seeing disgruntled players leaving. What was Bryce Young making? Say——4million. Then the 54th best player is making 50k. Makes you a little u happy I suppose.

ND insiders have mentioned the rumors about Drake Maye and Alabama, that is how I know about it. Ryan from Irish Breakdown mentioned it yesterday on the podcast (public podcast, so not saying anything that was behind a paywall). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDIrishFan 607 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Call me crazy, but I actually think the QB situation at ND is one of the most appealing parts. Your competition would be an injury prone QB that struggled mightily in his first two starts and so far has only shown to be a run-first guy. Then, two freshman. That's about as good of a path of least resistance you're going to find on a team with realistic playoff aspirations. Combine that with what I can only assume would be an enticing NIL offer upfront, PLUS, can you imagine the offers that would roll in if we had a quality QB at the University of ND? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mostly ran go routes and created separation pretty consistently. Kind of reminds me of Will Fuller. If he can be half the player he was, we’ll be really happy with him (granted he commits). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
