I don't mind spending money on transfers that are proven vs some high school kid who hasn't played a down of college football. I feel like we should be able to find decent wide receivers in the portal more worried about defensive tackle recruiting those big boys are hard to find.

The problem is that there's very little upside/star players to be had in the transfer portal. Minus few exceptions, all of the upside is in highly rated HS prospects who haven't been evaluated/discarded by another FBS program.

We all want to guarantee a return on our investment with the least amount of risk possible .. but that comes at the cost of little to no upside on the roster.

ND needs to embrace the risk and have way more risk tolerance as it relates to their talent acquisition strategy/roster building.

They're all underclassmen.

You're always negative. We get it. You wanted Freeman gone after his first game as a DC and you have to keep up that same energy because you want to be right

He was an average DC that required Kelly to step in and help coach the D… that’s saying something

He has a chance to be a really good CEO.. we’ll see if he has taken a step forward this next 1-2 months. I sure hope so

I usually will put some effort into my responses and provide all the numbers and data and evidence available. Site a bunch of sources use a bunch of advanced ranking systems cite the consolidated view of a prospect in the industry as rated by the professionals etc etc etc but I've done all that a million times and it simply doesn't resonate certainly not with you so I'm not even going to bother this time

I'll just say that I wish I could be as naive as you and find some kind of hope in this hopeless AF situation

Can you tell us how F+ is calculated and what it actually means? What is the actual criterion (criteria) against which F+ is validated?

Williams is the most talented wr on the roster

With the 7 guys we have coming back plus transfers and the freshman, we'll be fine

Faison Greathouse Smith and maybe Thomas and Colzie coming back are 5 guys who have played in this rotation. Add some good transfers no reason to think we won't be okay

And we don't need either Richardson or Bettis to play at all next year. They will most likely redshirt. Thats for the future

Williams can’t even sniff the field yet at the easiest position to play … that’s not me writing him off, but I’m also realistic that the odds are against him if you can’t even get on the field with not great wr play

Bettis isn’t playing wr at any point

All of our wrs are rated 5.6 or 5.7… thats the worst in the last 30 years I’ve been following

Odds are that only one makes any form of impact at the position

Notre Dame has two players ranked inside the composite top 100 in 2025. Their competitors for national titles at the high p4 level sign about 10 of these kids and several of them are five stars

I don't understand how a program with Notre Dame's resources can fail so badly to correct the glaring obvious problem in the program which is the lack of upside in the talent

How is this not being corrected at Notre Dame? Can someone point me to how conceding your top talent in your class every year to your competitors is helping Notre Dame win national titles? Year after year after year after year after year after year of conceding nearly all of their best prospects to other programs

It makes no sense to me. What is the impediment? This question never gets asked and nobody at the program ever has to speak to it to the public in any way. I don't understand it

I'll say it one more time: YOU treat Notre Dame football as professional, Notre Dame treats it as amateur...and I know, I know...they collect revenue, blah-blah-blah
