Going to the portal!

Jayden Thomas is a loss, I guess not a huge one. But he was a totally serviceable player. Colzie is not a loss. And has been such a bust I'm not even sure who's going to be interested. Maybe ND didn't want him back. I'm not sure why he was highly rated, he was visibly not that great as a HS prospect.

Shout out to Jayden Thomas. I always thought he played well whatever was asked of him, and was happy to see him have some nice plays in the playoffs.
Amen, seemed to be a leader in the room
 
I liked Jayden Thomas. He was tough and physical. Injuries played a factor in him never really solidifying a starting spot.

But we've upgraded talent at WR and he was gonna get caught up in the numbers. Probably a good thing for him to leave. But I respected him. Tough dude.
 
Pendleton was a starter as a RS frosh. At OL U. I wonder if he'll command a pretty hefty compensation package. Or whatever, get a decent deal for an OG.

I think the writing was on the wall... "totally serviceable" isn't cutting it. We all saw, and though he won't say it, Freeman and Denbrock saw that ND needs more dynamic weapons at WR. It's why that had already hit the portal hard for that position.

We didn't hit it hard, we took two players. Unless we're out of scholarships I see no reason why Jayden Thomas is a waste of a scholarship. Colzie is nothing, no offense. But JT is totally decent and could easily catch 30 passes or so next year and be great. If the staff wants to just go with younger players and have a youth movement that's cool. But it's not like they're necessarily going to be any better.

Fair enough... I meant hit it hard as already going in and signing the position before seasons end. I don't think Thomas is a waste of a scholarship for ND as much as for the kid's decision it is becoming a number crunch thing. I think there will be more WR signees to come. Only problem is you aren't really going to find a big time play making WR in the portal.
