Thanks to all who submitted questions for me and @Eric Hansen on our latest podcast. These are the questions we answered with timestamps.
21:46 • Michael Kelley - @NDLawyer1990: ND has a lengthy record of developing great OL and a recent record of producing great Safeties. Why does it appear that ND has no shot at Proctor or Downs from Alabama? Both would likely start immediately alongside other talented players at ND.
25:13 • Rick Dierolf - @Irish357: Any chance we land Caleb Downs in the portal. He was seriously considering Notre Dame in his recruitment, any reason to hope he comes where he should have from the beginning
28:19 • @ldlgoirish: it appears this go around that transfers of underclassmen has been easier. Is that just athletes or can all undergraduate students transfer easier?
30:49 • Nathan Reynolds - @Enforcers2117: Now knowing Saban retired.. do you think Freeman would’ve offered Rees the oc job or do you think Freeman would’ve still went after Denbrock first and Rees would’ve been a back up option?? Do you think Rees will now end up at LSU?
34:15 • @stevegoforth5: Do you think the new tv deal with NBC has allowed ND to pay more for coaches? I feel the tv deal helped us pay for Denbrock and help retain Golden.
35:32 • @DanQuinlin: Excited to have CJ Carr as a member of the Irish. But when Tyler Buchner first arrived on campus we considered him the same “can’t miss” superstar. What did we not realize when evaluating Buchner? How is CJ Carr different? Thanks.
42:44 • Greg Perez - @MiddleManPerez1: Which under the radar players are you looking forward to watching the most this season?
47:05 • Marie Biafore - @biafore_marie: Looking at all the players coming for the junior weekend, can each of you please pick the three that you feel are must gets for Notre Dame?
49:42 • @CharlesWWolfe: I know classes just started, but is it too early to ask about the new strength and conditioning program?
51:01 • Jack Quinn - @jq6008: Has there been a resolution as to whether or not Stanford will count as an ACC game? And is/should ND pushing for it TO count so that they can add another non-ACC opponent? Or would they rotate Stan and Cal (I’d like the annual Stanford game to go away).
