Minchey officially Irish!

No
To be honest, I am going through some tough times in life. I come on this board for some fun ND football talk. Talking ND football helps me get my mind off the troubles. This board helps me do that.

But I am so tired of the personal attacks. I only want to talk ND football. I never call names or get personal. In the past when posters that love ND football like me, make personal digs at me, I just to laugh it off and something funny in response.

But now, I am facing some hard times in life and these attacks on me only add to what my family and I are going through. Again, I come here for a sense of relief from life but I might just need to shut down my account here and just watch ND football and be fine with that.

Just being open and honest brother”s. No woe is me. God will bring us through this
Zorich,
I’m not into scriptures or heavy on prayer, but I am into life, and all the challenges and rewards this presents. Most, if not all of us, come here for entertainment, and the opportunity to talk about a subject we love, Notre Dame football. Opinions differ, and emotional temperaments differ, and how we choose to express same differs among us. Some can be obnoxious as hell, some can be offensive and make personal attacks on those with different opinions, and some just have a need to look for a cyber fight. Most just want to talk Notre Dane football. There’s no reason for you to consider shutting down your account here. There’s no reason you can’t achieve the sense of relief from life’s challenges you desire; just simply hit the ignore button for those you find offensive.

Like most here, I was sorry to read your facing some hard times. Each of us finds the strength for dealing with life’s most difficult times in our unique ways. As I said, scripture and prayer are not my way, but the firm belief in a spiritual almighty; the belief that we will be judged by our lifetime morality compass (rightness or wrongness of an act); and the belief that each of us possesses the inner spirit and strength to manage and recover from whatever challenges life throws our way. Remain steadfast in your beliefs and find that inner strength, and help your loved ones find theirs, and you will emerge from these hard times stronger and intact. Now, prayers coming your way, and I look forward to talking ND football with you for years to come!

Thank you my friend! I appreciate you taking the time to write that it means a lot! Thank you.

If Pyne starts over Minchey Rees should see a shrink. Buchner won’t last 3 games so Minchey should be ready. Unless of course we get a really good grad transfer.
Minchey won't be ready next season. ND needs to grab a grad transfer from the portal for one year as an insurance policy. Buchner, Pyne, and the grad transfer battle it out for the start.

If ND takes a portal transfer and he doesn’t automatically start, then ND took the wrong QB.

There’s no sense in taking a QB transfer who isn’t head and shoulders above the current crop of QB’s

this kid is the 1st QB recruited whose talents are in synch with todays college game. a good get. Unfortunately he is a mismatch to his OC’s game planning and coaching. Buckle up!

Rees will not be here for most of Minchey career. OCs don’t stick that long.
 
Minchey's prospect profile has been tweaked for 2 years now. What he's done during those two years in aggregate carries way more weight than one QB competition (elite 11). The view on Minchey's skills is that he's a mid 4-star ranked in the mid-200s same area the industry had Pyne ranked.

But people seem to think their "film" study is more accurate than the rest of the industry that is scouting him and scouting him based on more than just film but the entire package including his performance at camps and his measurables.

Let's just call a spade a spade why do we have to hype this guy up like we landed our plan A five-star stud? Is anybody here actually seen Minchey live, scouted him the way teams of professionals do at ESPN, 24/7, Rivals, etc. and scrutinize over his prospect profile in peer reviews/meetings, etc. ? or are we just being lame homers who can't see the forest for the trees?
Now hes up to 229 composite. Moving up now that they are starting to evaluate sr year film even though he got hurt.

Espn has him at 183 now so he got bumped up. Once rivals rates him properly, ranking will continue to rise

Rivals needs to get with it.

I really hope so. This program needs all the help it can get right now.

Up to 184 on the composite and if his shoulder is okay will move up after the all star games

Jumped up 45 spots. Is he all of a sudden a better player today than he was yesterday?

Evaluators have gotten more data on Minchey and think he's a better prospect than what they had him ranked at previously. I trust their opinion over the random biased opinions of fans/detractors that's for sure. So if he's viewed as a top 200 composite prospect now (up from ~250 previously) that's great for Notre Dame and their fans.

Just what I thought from you

He didn’t even play much his senior year and he moved up. That’s even more impressive. He’s got more talent than anyone in our QB roster and might be just as talented as Carr. We got a good one. He’s got some traits that the top 5 guys don’t have. I see nobody with his level of touch on the ball. That indication on film seems consistent with his accuracy scores at the Elite 11. He really was the fly under the radar steel of the ‘23 QB class imo.
 
The hair cut looks good.. Not going to lie, I hope he grows it back out. It was cool and his signature look. Either way, don't change your arm, Kenny ;)
 
From the photo it looks to me like Minchey is closer to 6'1" and that his mom did not like the drapes and took them down. Oh...also great job on the shine on those floors.

 
Pyne being a surprise Winner of the Heisman Trophy tonight should inspire Minchey!

Now he is 164 on the composite. Keeps moving up. Looks like my opinion was the more accurate one....

I'm glad you think hes better now because someone told you so
 
makes me laugh how some here think Rivals, etc are so expert at evaluating prospects. Sure they do a better job then the average person; they should.

But when you look at how many 3 stars become great and how many 5 stars stink then anyone treating what they say as if written in stone by the finger of God is a MORON.

Gee. OK.
 
Have to give credit to the coaches, albeit likely an accidental credit. Had Moore not ditched ND when he did, we’d be in a world of hurt right now and they’d held on this long. Minchey and Carr are the right fit for ND. When BK talked about the right fit for ND, he wasn’t stupid. While I think BK could be tried harder for a few 5 star guys, Freeman is learning the hard way that ND isn’t for everybody. They said, Carr and Minchey are slam dunks and unlikely to flip bc they’re ND guys.
