WR recruiting. The question needs to be answered
- Thread starter theskibro
- Start date
And I don't care if he is an ahole or not I care about the information
I went from following Bryan Driskell
Neither do I.
“I don’t particularly like the guy…”—-Golson.
Neither do I.
ND will not and is not providing upfront money to recruits. Period.
ND has very lucrative nil opportunities however that are more than competitive once in campus.
This is simply incorrect.
Driskalls was a buchner fan, but that's when compared to pyne, book, angeli. The guys that BK was getting on the regular....and yes buchner was a huge upgrade. Covid simply robbed him of a very valuable year of development.
He's also been very clear that guys like Mickey, care, knight etc are a tiers above where buchner was.
If your going to use examples of others work at least set the perspective correctly.
Every sport where millions of dollars are made organizations are paying millions of dollars for talent even straight out of high school.
What makes Notre Dame immune to doing the same thing?
Knock myself out with what, get 3 viewers for what, a podcast? a football forum? Where did I ever say I can run a football podcast or forum?Knock yourself out.
Again, maybe you can get 3 viewers.
If you knew how to use a computer, you would see that I forwarded a different thread. You said nothing in that thread because it was not according to your narrative. And you are unable to develop an original thought. Because, well, you know..
I'm well versed in using a computer, if you only knew how well.
You "forwarded" a different thread? Where did you forward it too? At least use the correct terminology. 🤣
I'm not the sheeple, you seem to be, placing someone on a pedestal and following their every word religiously. I suggest you stop deflecting what you are onto others.
Because technically, it's against the rules. I suggest you go read up on NIL and quit wasting your time on that pathetic F+ crap that isn't even a factor in college football rankings or the CFP.
Wait so Driskall calls Buchner a dynamic QB who will light it up as a starter, yet he ended up losing the starting job, transferring to Alabama, got an opportunity to start and performed horrible.
Angeli has performed better than Buchner. 😂
Your excuses are as pathetic as you are. Do better.
Tyler Buchner had three starts in South Bend. Start 1 was a loss at Ohio St., start 2 TB suffered a regular season ending injury, and the other start was an MVP performance in a Notre Dame bowl game.

I'm done with you child. You offer nothing and have nothing to stand on but your asinine assumptions.
Welcome to the block list
Bye felicia
Samardzija was also told he would be selected in the first round between picks 20-32 if you care to include him although he skipped the draft.
I don’t really watch or listen to Driskall and didn’t even know his comments on Buchner.
I do watch Goolsby and he was a big Buchner guy.

Dylan Robinson is up next. Tough one to call. And no idea what Meadows will do.
Hey, I'm not the pro. I'm not the one getting paid for my evaluations as is Driskall with his Forum and podcast.
Please, Driskall has made many mistakes, and no I'm not going to do your research and list each one. Don't have time for that.
Ok, but he was far from dynamic. Also I was hoping for his success, even after he transferred, I certainly wasn't a hater of Buchner.
Of course he has. He evaluates HS players. Every single evaluator that does the same has made many many mistakes. It's very common
You can't accuse me of being a talent evaluator....However, the upgrade in the quarterback room (which is substantial, imo) combined with the upgrade in offensive coordinator, combined with another year of HC experience led me to believe that the wide receiver recruiting would exceed where it currently sits. Now, it ain't over, to be sure....but this year's results recruiting at wideout appears to be less than reaching potential. I hope my lack of talent evaluation skills continues as is....being wrong will make me smile.
It's not over and Brown came in late. If we can't add anyone in this class and he struggles next year, then the problem will have to be addressed

Yes, there are upgrades and MF has another year of experience, and, MF got probably one of the best OC's in the country to come back to ND. Also, ND released a lackluster WR coach and brought in one better. All good, positive moves.
But, until ND proves it on the field, the WR's looking at potentially coming to ND, will probably take a wait and see attitude. ND has not developed and produced WR's (look at the OSU's, Bama's, GA, Washington, Oregon ... and all the others) and ND has not consistently thrown the ball downfield to inspire WR's to look at ND --
Notre Dame hasn't had a successful NFL QB is many years.
Certainly doesn't hurt QB recruiting.
What's your spin with that?
1. Gino Guidigli is loved by a lot of recruits. He's a very good recruiter and he has been here for about a year and a half s now building relationships
2. The amount of NIL money that Hartman and Riley are rumored to have gotten is very intriguing. Now imagine if you are a homegrown ND QB that is really good. $$$
Basically -- if I am a talented WR, I want to go where the ball is being thrown down the field and having a QB who can do that.
ND has not had good QB's overall for many years -- save for a few decent ones -- who have gotten the ball downfield to a receiver with any consistency (yes, while recruitment has not been issue, development has been -- as it has been beaten many times on this board).
Yes, steps have been taken to address those things, but, now is the time to prove it. This is why Denbrock was brought in. Prove ND can be a very passing team (the run game is, has been and always will be ND's calling card). Then yes, WR recruiting can begin to excel like fans expect.
I am responding to the overall comments that seem to have deviated from our zero success in recent wr recruiting to a bashing of Driskell and talent evaluation
First, my biggest disappointment with wr recruiting is that we seem to make the same mistakes as we do with other position recruiting - we stop recruiting kids, many of whom like ND. And discard them and put effort into a more narrow pool of recruits There are many examples of this. And we continue to get burnt
Second— whether it’s Driskell, Goolsby, Tommy Rees or Brian Kelly - there have been many fails when it comes to talent evaluation. Buchner is a common element among all of them. Does that make them worthless?
Well, no. Only one of them is worthless and can’t dance
Now Driskell may like to hear himself talk but I absolutely think most of his opinion is spot on and there is no better example of that than his evaluation of the the red face Cajun talking, adoration seeking tool Baton Rouge
One more thing. Our QB recruiting was horrendous under Kelly. An embarrassment. Yet we attracted some nice wideouts. I do not put much value in the argument that meadows or other recruits went to LSU and not ND because we don’t have not put receivers in the league.
We have Denbrock. That did not help this cycle. I think it’s more about where these kids feel comfortable and who their parents push for. Meadows father pushed for LSU. Kids are kids. They don’t know much. Crap happens. So when a kid spurns ND it is because ultimately crap happens. They make a choice and it may not make sense to us, but it does to them
Think voting. Enough said
