I agree with most names. But with 2 RB decommits, Tyree might stay. Kiser is a starter, so doubt he leaves. And the Ehrensberger will stay for degree. If he graduates in the spring, maybe?

Tyree didn’t play this year with current roster and they have Love who going to play Freshman year. It’s time to move on if I am him maybe go to Houston??? I doubt Kiser gets asked back for 6 th year

Kiser will be asked. He led some stats on the team. 

Tyree should move to slot permanently. 

I have a feeling that Love will be on D.... neither would surprise me. 

[JeffV 332]

Thanks all.  Love the suggested transfers.  That's what I'm getting at, but not sure I see all those, though.  Maybe a couple after the bowl game.  Joseph to the NFL, maybe Ademilola, too??  Add a couple of the names that aren't likely to start or get rotation, sure - there will be a few.  If they don't enter the portal right after the bowl game, I expect most will stick around and compete for time (and/or to get their degree).

But 10 or 11, even with injuries??  I just don't see it. 

What happens then?  Is ND pulling scholarships like Ole Miss?  Is August a tryout for a few guys?  E.g. I was surprised with Salerno coming back, considering the numbers.  The Covid years are most of the overage, for sure.  I'm surprised it's a hard 85 number..  It's going to be interesting. 

Hadn't thought of the NIL angle - won't be long before we see that somewhere.

No way Love goes to D.  He has the skill set that nobody else on the team has.  Kiser for sure is staying.  Tyree for sure should say, I'm the utility guy.  I know everything at the rb position, put in the slot and let me learn that. Let me run punts back.  Treat me as an everything back to get my touches.  Which, I think he can do if he trains there.

l agree his (Love) O has blown up this year. But earlier, he was recruited as a DB, then athlete, and now a RB. 

He'll need to improve/develop his catching skills to get a lot snaps at APB. If he sticks at RB, he'll be used mostly outside, and in zone blocking sets. ND didn't do that much the last couple years. Great thing, he's been a good blocker (run and pass at CBC), so that helps getting early snaps). 

Agree 100% on Tyree. But he could leave and go somewhere that would use him as an APB.

They asked him to play slot he said no

That’s unfortunate. He should look at Theo Riddick. He’s not going to be the bell cow in the NFL like a Derrick Henry.

It’s one of reasons he was in dog house last season. I understand wanting to be a rb but if the team needs a slot guy come on man do your job

That doesnt change scholarship numbers unless it is a career ending injury where they can never play football again.

Tyree is not really a slot WR, just because a back is decent at catching the ball out of the backfield, doesnt make him a good slot WR.

Yeah im saying they will lose a guy or two to medical issues where they are no longer counted, ie Tonona, a Senior who gets hurt and departs. Always seem to be 1 or 2 retire for medical reasons.

Sure, he's not a slot WR... now. He's an APB, who wants to be a #1 RB. He's not a #1 RB type. Most good APBs can run slot routes too. He has speed to be both. Just not vision and size to be a #1 RB. 

[NDhoosier 1,233]

I disagree, I still think Tyree can be a very good back if used properly. RBs get pushed out to the slot and go up against LBs quite often. Tyree would not look as good going against corners/nickels.

The question is how does he get used properly?  I'm not entirely certain.  In the times he has been used he hasn't seperated himself from the other backs on the roster.  His production as a whole has been lacking by comparison.

He isn't a between the tackles runner like Estime or Diggs.  Unfortunately we aren't running better misdirection plays in our offense that may help him.  And our screen game isn't the greatest either.  Not sure what's going to change for him and he's surrounded by a talented RB room that's getting more crowded.

[NDhoosier 1,233]

I think the fact that defenses were constantly stacking the boxes against us made Tyree's game that much more difficult. You had to use the bulldozer in Estime and run it up the middle. I think the if the offense forced the defense to spread out and the safeties to play back like normal, Tyree could do well. He is still among fastest on the team and he has amazing agility.

I agree that misdirection and screen game is more of his style, but having 9-10 in the box kind of makes those obsolete.

Would be surprised if Tyree stays. RB room overflowing and I’m sure he will want more snaps. 
Same with Kiser really. PFF rated him as ND top defender while playing half the snaps of everyone else. Believe he has 2 yrs eligibility and may take his talents elsewhere. 
Kollie playing over Marist at Will may also have Marist heading elsewhere. 
Be surprised if linebacker room isnt thinned out.
