Notre Dame starting center Zeke Correll enters his name into the transfer portal

Will take

I wonder if the coaches get alerts when a new person enters the portal. I’d imagine there’s some sort of tracking protocol

Maybe BK does like Eaux and has someone reading TD to provide him updates and pass on fan requests

We need a transfer portal board that comes and goes with the coaches changes board

I get it with Charles being a senior, but we got some really good O-line classes with BK being here.

I think Paul gets it done in the middle next year, he's still got more time to beef up and learn the calls.

would much rather use the scholarship on the defensive side of the ball, or just some baller at WR - though I'm not sure if we need help there or not.

We're good on the OL. Spots are limited this year. Bigger needs elsewhere. DJ Chester will be really good center next year.

My thoughts are I'd rather have a absolute proven center and then Chester rolls in his Junior year...if numbers are any issue, process one of the non-producing scholly players - there are plenty of them

This. We're fricked on DLine. Really need one or two high end talents there.

OC is not a need

If you can, you always take a talented center. Especially if your run scheme revolves around the insides zone.

Yep we have bigger needs than OC. would be shocked if we sign any more OL. We are good there.

and what happens when Chester transfers because of it? Then after one year you are left with no center.

This is the place BK wanted to get to. Chester is a highly rated guy that sat a year learning and is ready to be a 2-3 year starter. You build your team by developing HS recruits and letting them take the reigns. If you just keep backfilling spots with a transfer at every position it will hurt in the HS ranks. If you have highly talented guys ready to take a spot then they should play.

Let's say we have ~10 spots in the portal. All these needs trump center

QB
veteran RB
WR1 and maybe two
probably 2 corners
1 safety

too many other needs to not trust your dudes waiting their turn to be let loose.
