Under The Golden Dome - Pritchett - Stams & Stonebreaker

Notre Dame Nation:

I am relaxing on this Friday evening, while watching the "Under the Golden Dome," podcast. They have Stan Smagala, former Notre Dame cornerback as a guest. They brought back some great memories and talked about their careers and what is going on with them these days. The stories are amazing, to include being teammates on the National Championship team. This was my first time watching this particular podcast. It is being broadcast on YouTube.


Go Irish!!!!

Big east bball better than acc
it certainly might be now...

but the point was the move to the acc was MBB related and nothing else.

Hockey big 10
WBB who cares..not saying that maliciously but they can play wherever and be fine
Baseball not big enough to worry about
Football cherish the independence
Wrestling? LOL
Lacrosse...again they can play wherever and be fine
volleyball..who cares
fencing? meh

that leaves MBB
and the move to the acc was suicide for that program.

New WR offer Antwaun Parham

No not at all. There's players I wouldn't even have allowed to commit in this class if I was coach. So dumb comment

Now back to actual substance

There is only 1 position on the roster that MF will not have signed a player I would consider elite and that is DT

Carr
Love
Williams
Flanigan
Lambert

Young
KVA
Gray
Blair

Some positions have multiple but I got every position except for DT
I thought Vernon might address the dt void. Perhaps two years from now we’ll be singing Dixon’s praises.

Where are all the Riley critics?

One of Carr, Minchey or Angeli should be ready to take over in '25. We don't need another transfer IMO. I guess Freeman didn't think those guys were ready yet this year, but they should be next year.
I think it's possibly a tough call, depending on who's available. And I guess how good the incumbents appear to to progressing. Of course that's my speculation. But I suppose, it's time to let the guys already on the roster have a turn.

Marcus Freeman indeed has problems signing elite players at certain positions.

You don’t believe that because you consider all Notre Dame players elite.

Meadows I thought was going to really put it together with all his talent but he's still a project player as well. Elite upside but not much production at all. Is it the system, is it the QB or is it him? I'm not sure but if we get Meadows I wouldn't count on him next year at least
Their QB is good, but has thrown only 103 passes in nine games. The other wr is a burner, and typically has five plus yards separation on his defender, making him an easy target and a TD machine. I still think Meadows is elite and hope like hell he flips. Can’t disagree that he might not make significant contributions until his sophomore year, but as you say, elite upside.

I wish I could share that optimism but unfortunately until it happens I will continue to blame the ACC move.

Remember the success we had early in the ACC were with Big East recruited players.
Basketball is very much a me first sport. Why come here and have to constantly play the toughest basketball conference 2/3rds of the schedule.
@ ND... the sports go..
Football...




Hockey/WBB
MBB/lacrosse
Baseball

My point is WBB, MBB all would've been fine in another conference. It hasn't hurt UCONN and in hindsight that's exactly where our basketball teams should be. Back in the Big East.

Hockey competes in the Big10

We’re pretty late to the dance with these last minute efforts. The fact is we struck out on our top three targets, and we’ve been struggling since to make this up. Richardson may in fact be a project, but I love his potential and considered his commitment As a huge plus. Burress is having a really good season and I think we have a very good get with him. This latest offer will likely result in a commitment. Parnham is tall, runs a very good 40, and appears pretty athletic. But, his ranking is very weak as is his offer list. We can’t keep looking for diamonds in the rough to fill needs. Hope we pull off a flip with Meadows; and as you say, Golden might be our most talented receiver in this class, even though recruited as a DB.
I also feel Jack Larsen could be a border WR instead of TE. If worse comes to worse. Portal might have some steals too. It's a sad statement that ND had 30-40 looks at wrs and not a bite except Burris, Bettis and now Richardson. Something needs to shape up in that wr area.

WBB: observations from exhibition vs Davenport

#5 - Quality depth was one of our biggest strengths coming into this season. With this being the 2nd season in row with more injuries than typical, I wonder if there's some problem in the training approach that needs to be worked out.

It would be easier if we had a soft start and could count on most players to work back into the rotation before the toughest part of the schedule comes. But we have three top 5 opponents before Christmas. Yikes!
Yep. May have to get e in march
