Notre Dame wide receiver room IS ABSOLUTELY UPGRADED AND LOADED AND HAS HIRED WR COACH MIKE BROWN 🔥🔥 highly rated and ex assistant coach
I’m looking forward to the new playoff format with 12 teams and seeing Notre Dame go to playoff games at SEC schools that they normally don’t play, or those SEC schools coming to a playoff game in South Bend.
Ok that was a fair analysis. And I’m impressed how knowledgeable you are of the Irish. Well done.
You might wanna include cam Williams at WR, he’s a 5 star coming in. He will play
You need to do your homework. ND has so much young talent. Starting about 2025-26, the way they've been recruiting the last 3 years, Notre Dame will be a very formiddable playoff opponent and NC contender.
I like your show brother but I don’t see 3 losses on this schedule unless injuries happen at QB, WR and or OL. If they stay healthy 2 losses max. I can see 11-0 going into USC as well. The defense might just be better than last year.
If Notre Dame has 3 losses this year, there will be some serious problems in South Bend!!!
The only position group that needs to work itself out is the O line. And I am 100% it will be very good by the time we leave for A&M.
Go Irish > playoff bound
My guy is smoking if he looks at that schedule and think they are losing 3 games 😂😂
They're all saying 3 losses.. It's because they have so little real grasp of what this Irish program has built itself into through Freeman's recruiting and recent coaching hires. Hint: 3 losses is the safe bet from their perspective, because that's been the standard(so far) in this new, Freeman Era at ND. The Irish should be a legitimate top 5 team in 24', gotta start strong and win in College Station. That game pretty much determines success or failure this upcoming season, so it will be very similar to the 2018 season in that regard. Elko is an excellent coach, who has done a lot with much less talent in the past.. In Mike Denbrock We Trust.
at A&M, FSU and at USC are probably the 3 games people expect them to lose.
@@TheMCJ2011a&m is a possibility. ND is the better team but thats a road game. FSU should be a win, and ND is 6-1 vs usc last 7 years.
NOTRE DAME 2024 WR ROOM🔥🔥🔥☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Position / Year : Wide Receiver
Freshmen : Cam Williams, Micah Gilbert, Logan Saldate
Sophomore : Jaden Greathouse, Kaleb Smith, Jordan Faison
Junior :-
Senior : Deion Colzie, Jayden Thomas
5th/6th Year : Kris Mitchell, Beaux Collins, Jayden Harrison
Mitchell and Cam will both be instant stars at the field receiver position. I hope Denbrock can move the receivers around a bit this upcoming season-Mitchell, Cam and Faison on the field at the same time gives the Irish 3 fast athletes at the position who can all gain separation. Add Mitchell Evans/Raridon at TE and J. Love/J. Price/A. Williams as receivers out of the backfield and Denbrock has tons of options at his disposal in 24'. The rest of the country will be shocked by what they see at times by this offense and I can't wait. The 23' season was an exercise in frustration as an Irish fan, with the championship level defense and knowing the talent level on offense/that G. Parker just wasn't't it and never would be.. 🤦🏽♂️
I really wished Rico Flores would of stuck around, I really liked his game but no doubt ND is in wayyyyy better position at WR.
@@MattBooher-ng4qi Rico Flores Jr and Tobias Merriweather with the experience and NFL development results from WR Mike Brown ☘️
I’m sorry I don’t really like being harsh but this take on ND is pretty rough. Especially, when you consider the loss of WR and TE….ND has obviously upgraded there. QB room…upgrade. Skill on defense…upgrade. Kicker…upgrade. Coaching staff…upgrade. It’s hard to find a place on that roster that isn’t poised to be top tier.
Notre Dame should be very good on defense and physical enough on offense to win at least 10 games. Very manageable schedule if they can stay focused
Chris Tyree, Holden Staes, Marist and Rico may seem like big losses, but do not agree they make or break this program whatsoever. Joe Alt is the biggest loss and I would say Hart at CB is a bigger loss than anyone else than Alt. Blake is… TBD. Thought he should’ve stayed another year. ND gained more than they lost this off season.
You're usually on point.. but have you researched the Defense comi g back & upgrades speed & athletes.. this ahold be top 5 D... Denbrock calling plays with that RB &TErm.. WR rm is definitely upgraded.. &this schedule.. cmon man you're way off on this..
2022 nd was ranked number 5 headed into the season with high expectations for buchner and all those guys. Played a solid game on the road at osu but took a loss. everyone, including me, said "we played great, we can make the playoffs just gotta...uh...win the next 11...". Freeman was playing from behind and proceeded to lose to marshall and stanford. I believe that the game against a&m is the same way. If we win...well, I think well go 12-0. If we lose? We might miss the playoffs. That game will set the tone for the whole season.
Simple trends would tell you ND is poised to go AT LEAST 10-2. 8-4 in 2022, 9-3 in 2023… Factor in a more favorable schedule, a more experienced HC, upgrades in the coaching staff, transfer portal additions, returning production on defense, a proven RB room, multiple top 10 recruiting classes over the last 3 years. The ball is in their court. If they lose 3 games, it is not because they were supposed to. In fact, they will likely be favored in every game they plan except MAYBE @ A&M (I’d still lean a slight favor to ND once game time rolls around)
If they win the opener, look out. The FSU game on Nov 9th will loom large. I don't see them losing to Louisville again, and if they go in to the Southern Cal game 11-0, they will run the table.
im not saying i disagree with you. I agree very much that if we win against a&m then we could probably end up going 12-0. However, I disagree with the part about Louisville. I do think we should win, but the cardinals are one of the tougher opponents, they've recruited well and gotten good transfers. I think tyler shough will be the same level as jack plummer, and they also have a scary nose tackle as a grad transfer from Harvard. It will be an amazing atmosphere and a great game for the Irish to get revenge in south bend.
I think they have the talent now the coaching staff now and the buy in from the administration now but I think a key ingredient for ND or any national championship team team is player led accountability and leadership culture. If ND shows up and plays their best football every week they should be able to win every game on this schedule. I do think there are some sneaky teams like Louisville last year GT and Virginia
New coaches out of the NFL!!
Can’t wait to see them in action!
11-1 is the floor.
exactly. id say maybe 10-2 if our opponents turn out to be better then expected, but I'm picking the Irish to be in the expanded playoff. Everyone saying 9-3 is saying that because of last year...but last years schedule was super tough and, ill admit it, we have a fairly easy schedule this year.
I’m sorry, but I think we do better than he has predicted. If we play how we are SUPPOSED to play EACH game…we shouldn’t lose. I hope for the best. We canNOT take a game off!
Guy is insane
The transfers in are far, far, better than what they lost.
Just being real, as far as how the broad majority of ND fans feel…If they don’t make the playoff in 2024, it’ll be an abject disaster. They are better (on paper, I know that doesn’t mean much sometimes) than every team on their schedule, maybe save A&M. With an expanded playoff, a softer then usual schedule, ND fans absolutely expect 10-2 AT WORST, and they need to make the playoff. MF has recruited well. They have tons of speed and depth. Going 9-3 again would be a major disappointment. Quite frankly, I don’t know how any honest prognosticator sees 3 losses on this schedule.
Dude, did you look at ND'S schedule. 3 losses? Seriously!
Who cares about predictions before spring practice? Can’t wait for the season to start and we will get real stats.
He is trying to be slick and trashy with the WIDE RECEIVERS FREEMAN ADDED OUT OF THE TRANSFER PORTAL AS "NOTHING SPECIAL" TO SELL THIS WIDE RECEIVER NARRATIVE TRASH 🗑️🗑️🗑️ HE'S JUST FEEDING SEC AND BIG 10 CONFERENCE FANS what they have always assumed and that's the Brian Kelly era of talent 🤡
This is his job and he got so much wrong. Our new center is bigger, stronger and better. Rico had no speed or juice. DLine will be better..we lost one player and replaced with strong DE. Henderson good cover? Did he watch…top 3 brand and doesn’t do homework. Ugh
exactly. replaced jean-baptiste with a edge rusher from duke. I did like rico, but bro, were bringing in Beaux Collins and Kris Mitchell, 500 yards for clemson and 1100 yards for fiu respectively, as well as cam williams.
This guy completely missed the mark this team is making the playoffs and at linebacker there are no issues
No offense Greg bc I like you but at 9-3 you’re f’n high.
Toss up with a top five roster and a dumpster fire program in anm? Nah bro
Same as alwsys all hype no substance
lol we’ll see.
What a joke
It is time for Notre Dame to make a statement about the NIL. Notre Dame Football is the most recognize name in College Football they should ban a NIL athletic from transferring to their school and will not play any teams that has such athletics. Otherwise it will only be a matter of time before it becomes a minor division for NFL!
Most overrated and overtalked about school next to A&M and USC
nice
Absolutely.
Mad
@@bluegoldnation12 Mad?! You’re hilarious. They haven’t won a NC since 1988 and had not been remotely relevant until Kelly brought them somewhat back. Media like McElroy are forced to cover them because they have a large fanbase. That doesn’t make them relevant. McDonald’s has a large fanbase, but no one confuses it for haute cuisine.
@smd2169 they are relevant. The numbers are overwhelming. 21 championships. The greatest football coach in history. 7 Heisman Trophy winners. Dozens of All-Americans. Countless statistical milestones. 8.21 million fans around the country.
CHRIS TYREE 😂😂😂 IS THE BIGGEST LOSS? 🤡🤡🤡 A CONVERTED WIDE RECEIVER
Tyree is not a loss at all. He was a terrible punt returner and a very unnatural football player. I'm glad he played for ND last year due to lack of depth but no way he'd even crack the 2-deep next season.
@@45876 exactly man.I dont mean to discredit tyree, I remember him returning kicks his freshmen year and everything, but there's no way he wouldve been wr1 this year, I don't know if he wouldve even started.
You lose all credibility when you can look at that schedule and see three possible losses
Always underachieving and always overrated.
They can’t be both dude.
Consistently relevant
@@bluegoldnation12 Lou “Sylvester the Cat” Holtz and Rudy aren’t walking through that door. No one fears ND anymore and anyone that actually watches college football, knows that ND will never win another NC. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. BTW-Indiana is the Mississippi of the Midwest. (I’ve lived in both places, unfortunately; so I speak from experience).
@smd2169 who knows. That's the best part. The unpredictability
Greg, you suffer from too much talking….
