I agree. They have some seemingly really good young players. When was the last time we had 3 guys that were 6'9" and athletic? I think we're missing some consistent shooting right now. Shrews will hit 2 in a row and then completely miss the back board.

I have to throw my 2 cents in about the officiating. There were 0 penalties called against a 4-4 team that has been decently penalized this year so far. I read a stat that this is the first time since 1952 that they have had 0 penalties called on them in a game. Did that cost us the game - no, but maybe some holding calls, etc, could have helped.

I think we're getting into slippery slopes after this year. The last two years it was needed (even though we didn't last year). With Carr coming in and Knight after, I get worried about the message of bringing one in next year. Unfortunately, after we see Carr in the spring, it probably would be too late to get any top notch transfer. The flip side, is you shoot for the moon and then just don't care about the impact it has on your roster or future recruits as long as you win now.

I am trying not get down on him, as he only had 2 targets. I would say though, I would expect a little more competitiveness on the underthrown deep ball. He's 6'4". Go get that thing and make a play.

True. That was how I rationalized it. Hopefully there will be plenty of opportunities. I'd really like to see him get in for a series earlier in a game after we are up a few and not wait until the last 3 minutes though.

The only negative for me was that we again failed to get a back up QB some quality time. I'm not sure why Angeli wasn't in towards the start of the quarter. How big of a cushion did we need?

Don’t insult girls…

Anyone know #9? Not on roster

Any idea who 9 on D is with the green jersey?

Van Lubin into portal - odd move to me as he would have been a key piece next year. Must just want out.

This is about as great a hire as we could have hoped for! Super excited. Now he just needs to rebuild the dumpster fire he was left with!

He's been a good coach for us, but it is time for sure. I am excited to see who we get. Would Chris Quinn be a candidate? I'm trying to think of someone other than Inglesby with ND ties. No way Monte would take a step down I wouldn't think.

What coaches are out there? A feel good story would be Inglesby, but I don't know enough about him now to know if he is a program changer.

I wonder if at any other school, the coach would have been fired after last night, with that being the capper of a dreadful season so far. How much worse can it get for this team? I keep thinking we'll have a miraculous turn around, but it seems to be getting worse. I think Brey has completely lost this team - some of his post game comments last night sounded like a concession speech.

8 is a good number. 7 this year is about it currently.

What do you all think? This team is terrible and just really painful to watch. With this level of experience, the core playing so uninspired is extremely frustrating. Not having a big man and a bench is killing this team and that is on Brey as well.

This guy seems like more of a slot guy.

Just curious. I haven't seen anything mentioned about this but are we expected to pursue any other 2023 recruits for February signing?

Right - not having big men is killing us. Laz is not a big man, even though that's how we play him. Lubin I think is going to be really good, but I don't think he's the 6'8" he is listed. Not having a true center and some serviceable bigs was a huge error this year. That and only playing 7 guys is killing the guys that are out there, leading to our poor defensive performances I think. I, too, love Brey, but I do think it is time to gracefully turn it over to someone else. Not sure who that is, or who would want that task, but it is time.

What a joke. We need this caliber player but not the character.

What do you guys think about Lenzy? I thought he was a great blocking WR. He might not be the best actual receiver, but I thought he was good role piece. I agree - he probably was open a bunch and Pyne didn't hit him, but he did have some drops, but he did have that one amazing catch. I'd have him back if he wanted to.

Great win followed by another egg against SU. That was a bad SU team. I can't believe the two bigs (Zona and FR)we have aren't capable of getting a few minutes. Our lack of a big yesterday was apparent.

I'm really glad we had him this year as a back up. What would life have been like without him - unknown. Maybe Angeli would have been a star or he could have sucked. I guess we might find out at the bowl game how much we will miss him... He definitely loved ND and he gave all he had. Wish him the best.

McNamara entered portal. I'm curious if we go after him. Not that I would necessarily want him, just curious. https://twitter.com/max_olson/status/1597283292738224128?s=20&t=gHfUazzOuzYOtvAFn2jtyg
