Coach Norman Dale: I would hope you would support who we are. Not, who we are not. These six individuals have made a choice to work, a choice to sacrifice, to put themselves on the line 23 nights for the next 4 months, to represent you, this high school. That kind of commitment and effort deserves and demands your respect. This is your team.
As fans, we have no control over who our team is or isn't. MZ is now the guy with no safety net. One play away. The sting of EG's departure will be felt before season's end. Mark my words. I can't believe BK was part of the decision. It had to be a matter of playing time. I keep wondering if the writing was on the wall MZ was going to be the guy when reports out of Spring camp said otherwise. This is not good.

I've posted how many times?
Under Coach Kelly Notre Dame is 15 and 1 when starting a true freshman or a redshirt freshman at QB.
I think one of the reasons is that he simplifies the offense when he doesn't have a proven commodity. Coach Kelly needs to not make the offense so QB reliant this year, IMO, and I believe he will.

Ara:
some time ago I stated that ND ought move on from EG; EG would be 'One and Done' and ND would be left with an inexperienced situation at QB. (i made that preposal prior to last season).
Getting Kizer all those reps this spring would have put him much farther alone than where he stands at this time.
And in the end, what did ND profit for standing pat with EG at QB? 7-5 and he is gone. I keep reading how Wimbush is a fast study talented QB, he better be.
ND might be a play or two from 2 walkons QB'ing the offense and defense (MVG and Schmidt); contemplate that when planning for the playoff possibilities.
Lots of examples of freshmen either starting or replacing an injured starting QB and doing a great job. I totally agree with Ara's comments, but wish I had a better sense for Kizer, who hasn't ever created the usual fan buzz. Being sandwiched between Malik and Wimbush is part of the explanation, but find myself buying into Wimbush as the heir apparent without much thought of Kizer, and not sure why.
pers....I think how Kizer & Wimbush this summer--- 1) study the playbook; and 2) work with WR's---are more important factors than his reps in 15 spring practices. Clearly both of their focus is now on being one play away. I'm kinda thinking Wimbush fits the MZ/Sanford mold........hope BOTH are ready!
Pers was very high on Kizer as a developmental project until Wimbush signed. Hopefully he is capable of holding down the fort if something happened to Malik. It is rare that a true freshman could step in an excel though.
still think Kizer is a real talent; he needs development. K&W are both good looking QB prospects and are very similar.
The problem is it takes Kelly five years to groom a starting QB and they only have four years of eligibility.
Some team in Ohio (I think) lost its #1 and #2 quarterbacks last season and I heard they still did pretty good.
wait till Wimbush drops a few 80 yard (in the air) bombs to Will Fuller!
and good grief - maybe Sanford will actually use the area between the hash marks!

I always like your thinking. As much as I liked EG, he was on track to have multiple balls batted down this fall. I could just visualize it. It is a good move for him and for ND Go MALIK
I love this kid's energy.
Now Continually, I have a suggestion. We can never replace 35 and we should not try to BUT I just saw that Irish Blooded did a recruiting post and did a nice job. It appears we may be a top choice for DE Auston Robertson.
Is this a potential gauntlet that you could throw at IB?
