It's weird, doesn't seem to be out anywhere.

Which quote was that? FYI, at least one ND paysite has said that the Walkers (as in both Amorion AND his parents) weren't honest throughout the process, so I'm not sure how much stock to put into anything he says. There's literally nothing to stop him from lying when he knows that no coach will duke it out with a recruit in the media.

Schrauth signed after Kelly left. He's said publicly that he didn't really like Kelly all that much, but liked Freeman. Notre Dame recruit takes shot at Brian Kelly after committing (larrybrownsports.com)

According to Eric Hansen's chats, something is in the works.

Seems like a bit of a cop out, IMO. Dirksen lined up with the 1's on OL today, and no one is seriously saying he'll start. If Botelho is still playing with the 3's in the next few weeks, I'll be worried. He's 1b to Foskey's 1a.

I believe the expression our parents used was "TS". ?‍♂️ Seriously, it's a real middle finger to the (not inconsiderable) ND international fan base

Pete Sampson joked recently that if moms picked schools for their kids, ND would have won the NC 80% of the last few years.

Wow, it's almost 50-50, after being like 6% ND - 94% UGA literally this morning.

In fairness, he said that same thing like two days before Alize was booted for the year. Who knows?

I've seen folks say that it's not a 420-related offence. I would then assume grades or personal conduct. Or he ran over Kelly's cat. Who knows?

There are rules about it, of course. for example, you can't stash players in, say, the fencing or golf teams. He'll be allowed academic aid, as I understand it, and will get a scholarship either if there's a tonne of defections in the spring, or for his sophomore season. It's a kinda, sorta greyshirt, if I'm reading it right.

I'd rather ND face anyone but Bama in the semis. Bama will wipe most teams off the map. I'd rather ND play any of the others well (and preferably win), to show they belong. If Bama kills ND in a playoff game, the same crowd who said that ND didn't belong in the NC game in 2012 will be right there to do an encore. A lot of recruiting momentum in 2012 went off the rails after the NC game. You can get players to come to ND if they show that they're at or just a smidge behind the elite. You can't if ND is wiped out.

Uh, did they just Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V the Tranquill injury report from the 2015 GT game?

The fact that he ended up at "Last Chance U" tells me that he was let go over something serious. If it was getting a little too much help on homework or some parietals thing, another school would have taken him.

Thanks for that. Hadn't read the story. I wonder if the silence from the staff is due to the type of #2 WR they were looking for in this class. With Lenzy and Keys last year, I thought they wanted Cornelius Johnson or Kendall Abdur Rahman (i.e. taller outside guys) for the second slot, if they took a second at all. Both Lenzy and Keys do what TJ does, but faster. Part of me thinks the staff may try to shake him loose and keep recruiting the other guys.
