Let’s get that guy too and just ignore all the high school kids we signed

I think we need 1 guard. Folks need to remember, we are up against 85, really, 82.

If this is true, we don’t have a shot lol

“Birm saying Oregon has been tampering with Tate hard and for a while, and Texas is also pursuing him heavily right now.“

We aren’t outbidding Oregon or Texas.

If Phil Knight is serious about winning Oregon a title, he'll offer Jeremiah Smith a huge NIL deal that OSU can't match to get him to transfer. He could probably lure Hartline to be WR coach at Oregon by doubling his salary, or more.

Listening to the radio yesterday, they said this new NIL era may benefit Big 10 schools more than SEC schools because they have more rich donors willing to get involved now that it's legal to basically pay players. These same donors didn't want to risk it when it was under the table and meant punishment if caught. No idea how true it is. Just stating what was said on the radio.

He wants to be a clear #1 guy. He won't be that at either of those 2 schools.

And then the first time the OL gives up a sack in 2025 everyone can meet here and talk about how much of a problem it is that HS recruits aren’t starting

 

[Weezer]

I'm still see it to believe it on Tate. Would be nice but still feels far-fetched.

I'm actually with HOR, here.

He would be #1 at Texas.

They lost everyone didn’t they? I saw a tweet the other day saying Wingo is their #1 currently. Tate is far and away better than Wingo.

Don’t know if I believe that. Texas might also risk losing wingo to the portal so they have to be careful about what they do

What’s going on in Sound Bend?

 

[TrippieRedd]

Is Freeman secretly leaving for the NFL? What the heck is going on lol

Take all the OL!!! Screw the splash player lol

If the OL continues to pass block poorly, I'll continue to complain about Elarbee.

And all these portal additions aren't helping the idea he can't seem to develop his own HS recruits.

Would be sooooo solid

Their OL room is loaded. Stolen from @highspeed post in the Pendleton thread.

Pendleton started Notre Dame’s Week 1 win over Texas A&M, earning the left guard role in a surprising fall camp development. He won the job over two seniors in Pat Coogan and Rocco Spindler, who had both started double-digit games in 2023.

“The type of toughness and lead by example, physicality, kind of that aura that you want surrounding your offensive line, I think [Pendleton] embodies that very well,” Irish offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock said at the time. “And [he] kind of helps bring that to the other guys on the line, if you will, along with those other two guys that are out playing on the inside.”

The three-star prospect out of Pfafftown (N.C.) Reagan had played just 15 snaps in 2023, but he impressed in preseason practices and the Irish gave him a shot on the big stage. He held his own in College Station, Texas, making the key block on junior running back Jadarian Price‘s 47-yard touchdown run.

However, a season-ending knee injury to junior center Ashton Craig and a several-week ankle injury to junior guard Billy Schrauth forced Coogan and Spindler into the lineup by Week 4. Both of them played the best football of their career. When Schrauth returned in Week 9 at Navy, Coogan remained at center and Spindler remained at right guard, where Schrauth had previously played. Schrauth moved over to left guard.

Pendleton, after starting the season’s first seven games, went back to the bench.

According to Pro Football Focus, Pendleton received above-average grades of 63.2 overall, 64.0 as a run blocker and 65.9 as a pass blocker this season. He allowed 6 quarterback pressures, including just 4 in the games he started. However, PFF agreed with Notre Dame’s coaching staff that Coogan and Spindler had played better, with grades in the 70s.

Coogan and Spindler are one-year rentals wherever they go. We seem to be looking for players with multiple years on the OL. Probably because Elarbee hasn't demonstrated he can develop any of his HS recruits.

Isn't carnell Tate projected to be wr1 at OSU? I think if we could get anyone off that roster it would be a big win.

Some of these receivers coming out of nd seem super mid

He's going to be number 1 over Jeremiah Smith? Where have you been?

 

[Weezer]

This is the guard I referred to who would be here after CFP. If everyone can hold hands and look away from the worry circle, I think you’ll be happy with how this shakes out. It’s going to come in waves based on timing for various players. We are in great shape for getting an impressive WR, G/C, and hopefully a Safety. Depending on whether evaluations lead to others leaving after Spring, there are others we’re talking to.

Like the idea of a safety. Getting another CB as insurance for McCoy's injury would be super as well. Think you could find a DT too, while you're looking for your socks? Doesn't have to be a superstar. A good rotational DT will work just fine.

 

[VolGee4]

Not trying to be a Debbie downer, but why would Carnell Tate come to Tennessee after winning the national title and having as much success as he had at Ohio State this past year?

While I have no idea if he will transfer or not, you can make the case that winning the national title actually got him some success and now he is free to chase whatever he wants. He will still be second to Jeremiah Smith. If he can get paid somewhere else and have 1,000 yards next year, then the move is logical. They will also have a QB that Deboer apparently didn't fight for.

You come in here, all smug and pompous, with your "inside information," telling us to abandon our worry circle, when you have no idea if we want to be happy. You just assume. The gall! The nerve! The pure impudence! If you had a lick of sense about you, you'd understand by now that this isn't a place for contentment. We come here to share our worries! To stress. To anguish. To fuss and to fret. To brood and to grumble. To take comfort in the warm embrace of like-minded cynics!

We'll not hear of your sunshine and rainbows, kind sir!

Good day!

Nope.. Jeremiah Smith will be WR1 as long as he's at Ohio St. He would be WR1 almost anywhere..Tate would be WR1 at
