The cupboard isn't as bare as some think. Rubio should be back, with another year under his belt. Onye could possibly return. There are some young guys who could make a jump next year: Vernon, Sevillano, Houston, Mukam .... That said, there is not much proven star power behind Cross and Mills. So it would be important for ND to bring in some interior guys on the DL. Otherwise, it could be a step back for the D. I do like that kid from Wisconsin for ND.
They're going to keep it quiet but I would bet we got Cole Brevard from Purdue. Graduate transfer which we tend to prefer and good sized projecting as a decent run stopper. Not a big name for pass rushing, but we get our pressure from the outside generally. If we can get him and the Wisconsin guy that would be fantastic. I think Singleton would cost more resources that we could devote to defensive line. I like singletons speed but we really do need a vertical boundary guy more than a speedy slot guy
Cole Brevard, former NT at Purdue. Local kid from Carmel, Indiana. Not sure he brings much pass rush ability given his 2.5 career sacks, but his 315 Ib frame is something the Irish won't have outside of soon-to-be redshirt freshman Sean Sevillano. Brevard has a "no contact tag" so his next school is likely already been chosen. Maybe it's ND. Maybe it's not.
I would like to see them go after Dane Key out of Kentucky. Singleton would be nice but there does seem to be some smoke around Georgia on that one. We’ll see what happens.
I can see them bringing in Zero Defensive tackles,What do u do With the 10 Other Defensive Tackles,Recruited, talented ones theyll At least 3 to transfer ,out.
I get the feeling James Thompson is another RJ Oben type! We need to stop horsing around with these types and go after more elite proven talent! Thompson is not even close to a Rylie Mills or Howard Cross! I am ok with the Eric Singleton one, but not Thompson! However, I was thinking the same thing as you Ryan with Singleton, when I saw him enter the portal! Also, I think we should go after either Barrion Brown or Dane Key from Kentucky! Preferably Barrion Brown! Brown is an elite talent with breakaway speed and good production in the SEC! He also gives you elite kick return ability, returning at least 5 for touchdowns, that I am aware of! Notre Dame needs to go after more of the difference makers! Enough of the mediocre RJ Oben type of guys on the D line! Come on Ryan, we can do better then a James Thompson! I am not impressed at all!! Defensive line has been somewhat disappointing from a recruiting/portal standpoint, as far as getting elite to top tier talent! This is Notre Dame! Enough of the RJ Oben types in the portal and the 3 star defensive tackles in recruiting! It is ok to land some of those, but we also need to land more of the high 4 star and 5 star talent too!! Coach Freeman keeps saying we are a O line and D line led program! I am seeing some results from recruiting and on the field from the O line, it could be better, but I believe it is heading in the right direction for the most part! However, I cannot say the same about the D line! Outside of guys Like Rylie Mills and Howard Cross who are like 5th and 6th year seniors, we are not getting or developing any big time prospects or difference makers! I would say, Bryce Young and Boubacar Traore has a chance to be, but unfortunately Traore got hurt! Other then that, our D line has been somewhat of a disappointment, especially form a recruiting standpoint in the middle and somewhat at vyper! We are more like a secondary/linebacker led program and not a D line led program! Freeman needs to get that figured out quickly! Go Irish! God Bless you!!
@@adereiojones9889 Thank you! Yes, I pretty much stated that, but as you stated as well, we need more talent in the middle and even at vyper! I love Young and Traore's upside, but they are young and Traore unfortunately is hurt and out for a while. I hope he can recover well from his injury! We could really use him in the playoffs, but we need to get more elite D lineman in the portal as well! Especially in the middle! I am not a big fan of getting Thompson! Go Irish! Take care! God Bless you!!
@WillGettinToIt exactly! If I was a QB in high school why would I want to go to a school that just wants a transfer. Cj carr should be the starter next year.
I’m always interested in defensive lineman. Let’s get it!

@@dashx1103it’s not bare but we need a dude on that line.
@@irishfire14 Agree.
I want that dt from Kentucky
Good stuff Ryan. Miss ya on IB.

we need them!!!!
Thanks brotha !! Always got the scoop , appreciate it as always !!
LFG Irish ☘️
Im pretty high on kc conception i think he’d be a great addition
Pulling from the ACC hasn’t been great.. but I’ll take all the B1G defensive linemen we can get.. they play tough
Please take a close look at Barion Brown and Dane Key out of Kentucky. Both are elite level talents.
Duce Robinson WR1 from USC is someone ND should consider
I’d like to see them land some SEC defensive linemen.
That’s what Cam Williams for
Pretty sure singleton is going to Georgia from what I’ve heard, but I wish we could get him
RR my man great job.

A good "big body" in the middle is always desirable. I'd be interested.
Looks like he's visiting Texas
How do u tell Rubio,Hinish &Onye&Up in comers ,Mukam,& avellini, Your backups,If D.T.us As He Says Is A big need.
What?

Don't know why we don't bring in Experienced Defensive Backs & Nikel backl like As key ,Back ups Relying on.A lot of young ones in 2025.

Bryce Young along with Traore are young studs on the DLine but I agree with you. We need Studs in the middle causing havoc

Singleton is visiting all SEC schools, not happening.
RR, yes we need wideouts and DL. Maybe a nickel CB that’s it. Not a QB.
Go get 2 wide receivers, a QB, and some defense players out there. They will be alot more better next year
No QB. One more portal QB and say goodbye to high school recruiting for QB
@WillGettinToIt exactly! If I was a QB in high school why would I want to go to a school that just wants a transfer. Cj carr should be the starter next year.
No more transfer QBs! Deep threat WR, big ass DTs, and a corner. That’s all we need and we’ll be elite.
@@Sarcastic_redbeard34
Why CJ and not Kenny Minchey?
He already said no tranfer qb.
i hope with cj carr that cam williams--kk smith and micah gilbert will be ready..
