Daniel Cage rumors
- Thread starter Pennick44
- Start date
If that is the case I wish him the best - that is why you make a 40 year decision. Good to know early so they can get Ewell lots of reps. Might be better to prepare him now, versus throwing him in to the fire if Cage gets dinged up midway through the first half against Temple.
What site?
He was recently medically cleared for concussions.
He did have knee surgery & is in rehab, so no way he would be ready for the opening game. (Most likely not first half of season).
Somebody did leave the program today, (confirmed) but it wasn't Cage.

Ashton will still be finishing the year academically & graduating with his ND degree. Then he will have 2 years of eligibility somewhere else.

I wasn't? Lol.
I was explaining his situation.
It is actually a smart choice for him because now he gets his ND degree & a free Masters somewhere else. And can still play football.
Chill out.
Uhhhh, Notre Dame coaching staff.
It's not a secret. They had an idea since March. It became official today. It's being reported by every insider on every pay site.
Bodi, unfortunately I think The Cage story got some legs. It seems like ND needs 25 D Lineman every year
Help me out on this one. Does he retain his scholarship and get a free ride or will he have to pony up and pay like regular students?
He is no longer on scholarship, so how he pays is up to him. I'm sure he planned ahead because it sounds like academics are really important to him.
What is the current depth chart at all defensive line positions? Also when is Elijah Taylor expected back?
If Cage is done for medical reasons he will continue on a full ride but a medical scholarship. It won't count against the 85 man limit.
No -- do not think this either fake news or bullshit -- just read an article on Facebook attributed to Irish Illustrated that Cage is not planning on playing in 2017 due to concussions and knee issues. Also said he use a red-shirt year, or go on medical hardship -- does not sound like that decision has been made yet.
BTW -- Pete Sampson wrote the article -- think he is pretty knowledgeable when it comes to ND football.
Cage is going medical redshirt this year and we'll see next season.Concussion issues and sore knee has brought the big guy down. If Ashton White doesn't want to play football then he shouldn't be given a free ride at Notre Dame. Jay Hayes is looking hard at a medical redshirt too. It looks like the younger studs we carry the load along the defensive line this fall.

J. Hayes is not a interior DT & is still on the roster.
Cage was 2nd string & was not expected to be back until late season, if at all.
Team knew since March & planned ahead.
Tillery will get 50 out of 70 snaps anyways. Ewell & a few others will take care of the rest.
DT Elijah Taylor is the other one mentioned with the lisfranc fracture and he might not be ready by the fall. Sorry for the mixup. Let's hope Jay Hayes finally shows up at Notre Dame. The injury bug has slowed him down over the last two seasons.
