Good insight with Flores and James, I hadn't heard that. Recall reading something about Stuckey smoking with the boys but I don't recall reading anything more than a rumor, as indicated. So maybe the better question is why Stuckey was let go in the first place (less than?) 24 hours after MF said, paraphrasing, if it were up to him he'd retain the entire staff. Just seems odd he wouldn't indicate some changes were going to be abreast if that was common knowledge.

Its been a hot minute since I've last posted and thought this might be a good off season topic. Wondering if anyone had insight on the WR room exodus the end of the season. Love to hear your thoughts on why we still lost lost a number of WRs and how could a (unranked football) LAX player made the field and contributed over some polished 4 start receivers. Was Stuckey the issue? or was he liked by the players and that contributed to them leaving? 1. Tyree - Amazing move to WR and would have loved to see him come back for his last year. Was he not going to see the field next year or was the transfer to UVA that much of a better spot for him? What am I missing? 2. Flores Jr. - Again thought he was a great contributor especially for a freshman and would love to have seen him for the next few years. Was it just home sick? 3. James - Highest ranked WR of the bunch coming out of HS. Saw very limited playing time. Did we just miss on him or again did Faison just go WAY under the football radar? 4. Merriweather - As a incoming freshman he had such high hopes. Obviously never really panned out for us and of this list could understand why he would look else where. If you have any insight, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks Jack just sent an email.

Haven't been to an ND home game in almost 30 years and figure it'd be a cool road trip to take the family to see our alma mater Marshall play in the house that Rockne built. Online ticket sales seem to be pretty high for an opponent like Marshall. Any online retailers better to look at?

Any chance his boy might be looking to transfer this spring? https://www.si.com/college/indiana/football/dasan-mccullough-decommits-ohio-state-commits-to-indiana

Any chance Dart would look are way?

I've heard this from a few different sources as well, be interesting to see how this plays out.

anyone want to watch press conference in full...starts about 5 minutes in. https://und.com/jack-swarbrick-press-conference-11-30-21/

Saw an article and it said exclusively on NBC streaming service peacock.

Great thread guys.....

Seriously? Almost 9 year old revive? That's got to be a record, right?

24/7 has the following http://247sports.com/Player/Trevor-Ruhland-29445 Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 270 *** Congrats Trevor and welcome to the ND family.

Have to agree with IG here. I'm just not too optimistic, primarily because of the coaching changes and a "new" QB in play. Obviously, our QB comes with experience but its still been a year since he had a live LB bearing down on him. Game speed could be an issue. That is assuming that EG is under center... ...Than again, give me a chance to read a few more of Hawaiii's posts and he'll persuade this years team would beat down the '72 Dolphins with ease.

Trying not to be a Debbie downer, but this and watching the Falcons over the last few years scares the living daylights outa me. Trying to keep an open mind about BVG and see what he can bring to the table, but just can't share in some of the opportunism as some of the folks here.

"Not that there's anything wrong with that."

And your direct response to me was: Again PT stop trolling.

First, don't troll, its unbecoming. Second, the question was who would you pick if you were an AD. Not the ND AD. Third, don't ever put words in my mouth. I never indicated that the grass was greener. Only that Sumlin and a number of other coaches were top flight and above others. I tossed out a handful of coaches that would be comparable and who I would go after... Surprise, surprise, ND coach is on there as well. Again, don't troll PT it's unbecoming.

I'd take him in a heartbeat...

Depends on what school your representing. If you at a big name school with deep pockets you in no uncertain terms go after Sabin. You throw crazy numbers like 10 million out there and see what it would take to bring him in. If the pocket book isn't that deep but still a top flight school the following in any order: Sumlin O'Leary Meyer Kelly Chip Kelly

I'd bet Ed took a pay cut going from the U to the league. :becky::becky:

Funny I was thinking the same thing DJ.

Thanks for posting...was just thinking to myself this should be coming out soon.

So obviously young Mr. Golson can't play this fall for ND but what are the odds he comes back to ND? Rumors have him heading to a JC to get his education back in line (oh and maybe some reps under center). After a year of JC, that'll leave him wide open to go to another school of his choice. I'm sure the snake oil salesmen of the world will be coming out of the woodwork (Urban and Rich Rod come to mind) to get a quality player like Everett in their fold. So in the midst of extreme boredom this off season, what are the thoughts on EG making he's way back home to ND?

Some Te'o talk from today. http://espn.go.com/nfl/draft2013/story/_/id/9100200/manti-teo-runs-40-unofficially-471-notre-dame-fighting-irish-pro-day

Its been cold in the south this week. My car said it was 29 this morning. Maybe we can get lucky and this weather hangs around for his visit.
