Thanks to all who submitted questions for our latest podcast. These are the topics we tackled (with timestamps).
29:03 | @ryno1134: With Dante Moore pretty much out of the picture, what does ND do in 2023 if Carr stays in the 2024 class? Are there any legitimate qb options that they are actively involved with right now?
33:07 | Christopher Kruse - @ChrisND92: It seems like all the talk is about CJ reclassifying. That would put a QB in the 23 class but is that the best thing for CJ’s development and the best for ND’s interest? I think playing with his HS team will help him more than scout team/ not playing at ND.
35:05 | @Okay_thanks: Is ND putting way too many eggs in the Carr basket? He is 17 and kids decommit often.
37:30 | @sjb75: Highly regarded DT Jason Moore seems to be a Penn State-Notre Dame battle. Do you agree?
39:01 | @MikeDevoy1: Are there any RBs still in the portal ND would consider with Price out for the year?
40:32 | @Bigasiannd2000: With regards to NIL, I heard some schools down south are offering NIL deals (via collectives) to recruits of non-revenue sports such as baseball and track and field instead of scholarships. The hope is that NIL will cover the tuition and room and board to get the recruit to sign with the school. This seems like a clever way to exceed the NCAA scholarship limit (11.7 in baseball) to build a strong roster. Do you see this type of tactic coming to college football?
43:59 | Charles Wolfe - @CharlesWWolfe: Are there any updates on upgrading football facilities? It seems like Coach Freeman hasn’t let a perceived lack of infrastructure hold him back, but it was my understanding upgrades were in the medium-term horizon.
48:34 | Marie Biafore - @biafore_marie: Can you predict who you think will lead the team in receptions, yards rushing, all purpose yardage, sacks and tackles for a loss. Consider keeping track of the answers and then seeing if they change After you have been able to watch players in camp.
53:12 | @The_JakAttack: Will there be any 1000 yard receivers on the team besides Mayer? Or do you think we’ll have 2-3 with 600+?
54:10 | Cheryl Russo - @CherylR01091480: Who will be ND 4th running back until Diggs returns?
55:18 | Bryan Swint - @BryanSwint: Do you think coach MF will have difficulty in game day situations, or developing practice protocols for the season? How much do you think coach MF will rely on AG for his previous experience?
59:16 | Andrew Barlow - @Barlandrew: What was the ND SID waiting room like Monday afternoon as all the @NDFootball beat reporters waited their turn with Coach Freeman? Sharks vs Jets? Danish eating contest? Dead silence?
1:02:19 | @MrJoeSiler: if you could grab beers with any current ND Football coach, which one would have the best/wildest stories to tell?
1:03:47 | @mikevorel: What’s your favorite kind of whale and why?
1:05:01 | @KyleKellyND: What is your favorite Fourth of July tradition?
