All's I know is if ND is banking on CJ Carr skipping his senior year of HS, which was certainly not the original plan, to step in and take over as a de facto HS senior, and TB is already being written off as damaged goods, that is going to be the kiss of death for the MF regime, if it isn't doomed already.
Hit the transfer portal, MF, if you're that desperate. Do not put all your eggs in this poor kid's basket, and do NOT make him skip his senior of HS. If you don't see how effed up that is, then you're more naive and unsuited to be a HC at a place like ND than I thought.
ND needs to get up to speed with the transfer portal in any case, if they plan on staying relevant, such relevance which is very quickly turning to dust sans BK... So get out there and make it happen, there's absolutely no excuse for doing otherwise if the need is felt. We already did it with Jack Coan, so it's not like we don't know what it looks like...
