That's a little dramatic no ? I don't blame him. He wants to play. He sees the ability of the guys in the room and understands how it works. Best of luck to him.
Bet he got an honest opinion from the staff too.
I liked him alot and will miss him. Class act, ND guy.
I get that. It's not sad for him. He'll get another opportunity somewhere else. He did his job when called upon like he should have.
They got a guy from Bama in the regular portal, Dylan Ratigan. I'm guessing he's the front runner.
Steve will graduate with a Notre Dame degree, and still has two years eligibility to start elsewhere. He is a class act, and he did everything asked of him when given the opportunity to play. He will find success at another school. But with every position, we expect the coaches to put us in the best position to win, and the staff obviously feel that both Carr and Minchey provides this over him. Not a sad day for ND football imo, but I appreciate that Steve has to be disappointed, but maybe not all that surprised.
Realistically, he needs to go to a team with a good offensive line for pass protection.
"I'm telling you though if either Carr or Minchey goes down or both he might be making a huge mistake. I think Angeli should have stayed and hoped for a miracle like last years Orange Bowl"
We have 5 tough games in the 1st half of the year and Miami and Texas A&M defenses will bring the heat. I'm telling you injuries happen and we just lost our best insurance policy.
" If someone gets injured" is not a good enough reason to stick around. He wants to play and why waste another year of eligibility. I'm guessing they were completely honest with him as they should and told him he was likely third in line.
Third in line??? Well, then I kinda wonder, when Riley Leonard was hurt, why Kenny Minchey, after being in the program well over a year, did not go in against Penn State, with a title game on the line.
An adult yes not to be mistaken for a Gavin commie boy. No idea what the young man’s intentions are. Angeli hung around for years not being named the starter.
What happened to that moronic stuff about him being the next Joe Burrow……maybe he needs a QB whisperer……go to LSU!
And Kenny Minchey has hung around for 2 years, could not crack the two deep, now soon to be three years as a backup.
Considering Freeman's comments that he would prefer a two man competition going into fall camp I'm guessing Angeli was likely told just that. I doubt he leaves if he was considered one of the two.
Nothing in the fall. He's not going to drop out of school.
Then I will ask you again.
The window closes soon and it's unlikely a starter will be named until mid August.
Because that's the decision that was made. He was 2nd on the depth chart all year. Kind of how it works. They are now preparing for the 2025 season and both coaches and players alike have decisions to make. No different than Coogan and Spindler moving on and they were starters for most of last season. What's so hard to understand ?
Simply curious why Kenny Minchey wasn't called upon against Penn State when Riley Leonard got hurt.
Because he was 3rd on the depth chart and the backups get way more practice time in game preparation than the 3rd stringers do. Pretty straightforward stuff.
Because he wasn't the backup in 24.
After 18 months in the program, and if the dude is clearly better than Angeli, why wasn't he second on the depth chart?
Why are you asking me ? Having a difficult time accepting what has transpired ? Do you question your beloved Lincoln Riley in his decision making with such fervor also ?
