He really likes guys with good academics for some reason


Maybe because a lot of football positions require quick thinking and intelligence, not just physical talent?

Or that teams with players with good character, work ethic, and ability to learn perform better and have better chemistry?

I don't know, I'm just guessing here.

Glad to hear Kelly say the emphasis was on finding guys they can develop instead of relying on the portal so much.

I am certain they will reassess after spring game to see if they need to pick up some additional players in the April portal.


It’s kind of too late to reassess in April. Most of the good ones are taken

If that were the case ND would have all titles and the SEC would have zero

What I picked up was “retention of the defensive linemen”!

You either qualify to be a college athlete or not. Recruiting services are evaluating recruits based on what they can do on the field. They aren’t watching film of them reading and doing math in class.

This is roughly 90% of recruiting, but they 100% account for character and work ethic, which are supplemented with good grades.

So, they are done with getting transfers? Thats not good. Need way more talent on D.

I’d love to get a great corner. Aside from that, and assuming Smith and Wingo return, we don’t need anything.

We would have a solid defensive line with Smith and Wingo being an elite inside pair and with Washington and Guillory backing them up. Our returning DEs are solid, and Womack gives us a very good edge rusher. Womack needs to develop the strength and toughness to be an every down player.

Our linebackers are as good as I can remember. Perkins will be elite, little Weeks will be very good, and Penn is a returning NFL ready linebacker (I know that’s a minority opinion on here, but it is a correct one).

Our safeties will be very good with Toviano, Yaites, Burns and Sam. Our corners will be solid, but not spectacular, with Zy, Stamps, JK Johnson, Hughes, and Sage Ryan.

This is a good defense now that these guys have experience. The Rant consistently fails to take into account that folks get better as they get experience.

No guarantee both smith and Wingo return. We’re in trouble if they don’t.

Sam is out of eligibility I believe. Burns is who he is, and he’s terrible in coverage.

We have some holes on defense for sure. You just have to hope someone steps up to fill them.

Burns is his coverage and he can’t tackle either. But who could.

How good are you at dropping in coverage playing man or zone defense?



How good are you at staying eligible to play??

There will be a whole new set of players entering the portal in April after spring workouts. That’s the purpose of the second portal window.
