thats the first good news I've heard in a while regarding a good ND player who is eligible for the NFL. Of course, he could always change his mind. (See, Even my optimistic posts have a pessimistic twist)

Things can change like Fuller but if he does stay that would be big. Kizer sounds like he is leaving. He is giving that statement Im only paying attention to this year. If Kizer is the only one that leaves that would leave us with 10 starters coming back. That would be Big for Wimbush or MZ. Now if Kizer does come back I expect this offense to set some records next year.

The problem will still be the Defense.

When did we say the problem will still be the defense before??? That's right with Weis, and what almost makes this worse is that Kelly has actually gotten some guys with talent for the defense but not enough.

I think there are only 6 guys on our two deep depth chart that are out of eligibility after this year. (Rochell, Jones, Sebastian, Butler, Onwualu, Luke)

I just hope he gets the right DC in here. I hate to say it I hope its not with in. We need a Big time DC. Knowing kelly he will stay with the New DC or hire with in.

See I dont think we have the talent on this side of the ball. I think we hit some Busts on the Defensive side. I see a lack of talent on the defensive side of the ball.

I think we will see a lot of Frosh and Soph on D next year. We need a monster defensive class this year.

2017 Class of Defense:
4 star LB David Adams natl rank 115
4 star DE Darnell Ewell natl rank 150
4 star CB Paulson Adebo natl rank 216
4 star S Isaiah Robinson natl rank 266
4 star OLB Pete Werner natl rank 275
4 star DE Donovan Jeter natl rank 276

This is a good class but we are still not getting Top 100 recruits at the Defensive side.

Here is our Top 3 from this class:
4 star TE Brock Wright natl rank 67
4 star OG Robert Hainsey natl rank 70
4 star TE Cole Kmet natl rank rank 93

all offensive players in the Top 100.

Well. We'll see how he grades out. My feeling is he would benefit greatly from a fifth year. This is his first year on the left side and he's had some growing pains. I think he'd be a top 5 pick if he stayed.

This is his 5th year. He redshirted as a freshman, and was injured last year. He could apply for a 6th year, but probably wouldn't get one unless he can claim that he didn't play as a freshman due to injury. I think he is done after this year.

Yes but he has more talent on that side of the ball then Weis ever recruited. The real issue is depth, the secondary looks so poor because Redfield got kicked of the team, Butler is suspended for who knows how long, Crawford got injured two games in, and Watkins got injured in the spring and is done for the year. So there is the depth issue too many losses and not enough guys recruited to the secondary over the past 4 years, and too many guys leaving the program or getting kicked off at those positions. The other real issue is no pass rush which is all recruiting they just haven't gotten any great pass rusher in several years.

Yes but whats hurting the secondary more is no pass rush. We have all these 4 star recruits in the front 7 and all suck at getting after the QB. Thats the big problem. These young CBs are on an island by themselves for a long time.

They asked him yesterday and to me it sounded like he is leaving. Cant blame him he will be a top 5 pick.
Pete Sampson at Irish Illustrated seems to agree with you.

I don't blame Kizer one bit for leaving, why would he stay? He has no defense to make his game easier. When you have to go out there and play perfect game, no mistake, no bad throw's football game, it get's to you. Then when he does make a mistake, he has BK screaming his red face at him. Fuck that....Kid has a chance to be a first rd pick and probably compete for a starting job in the NFL. I really can't blame the kid at all. Not to mention, BK threw him under the bus and threaten to play Wim....BK is right, he is trying to hard, and that is because BK's defense sucks.
