There’s a better chance JW hits portal before Collins.That's assuming Collins doesn't hit the portal because he feels hard done by here.

Depends on what was promised to him. If we promised him the QB1 spot, I don’t blame him for hopping.That's assuming Collins doesn't hit the portal because he feels hard done by here.
For me personally I wouldn’t be at all, for the 500th time, my comments specifically have zero to do with adding Angeli and 100 to do with how FB went about it.I’m fully convinced that certain people will find a way to complain no matter what happens. This same poster would be going bonkers in the fall if Collins isn’t effective and Angeli is going off elsewhere. 100%.
I wonder if Collins' hand is worse than we think.That's assuming Collins doesn't hit the portal because he feels hard done by here.
He should be good for June.I wonder if Collins' hand is worse than we think.
Are you sure the 247 site had him as an 87 doesn’t sound top 150 to me.True. This web site had an awkwardly written description for his 2024 season.
Steve Angeli
fightingirish.com
Steve was considered a top 150 player in the country coming out of HS.
I love his film.
I love that Steve waited and waited for his turn to start at ND until it was evident t he was never going to get his chance to be the full time starter. It seems to me he will fit into the culture of this football program.
When he entered the portal, the staff gave him the McCord treatment.
For all these reasons, I want him. There are worst things that can happen to our program then having two really highly rated QBs fighting for the starting position this fall.
It is cool there are apparently a few highly rated players from the portal visiting right now, together. Hoping we get a bunch of good news shortly.
It’s more none of the guys on the roster are ready for this schedule. AngelI might be.I wonder if Collins' hand is worse than we think.
This is based on this link:Are you sure the 247 site had him as an 87 doesn’t sound top 150 to me.
He was signing autographs in the quad before the spring game. If it was that bad he would've been in some type of cast/support.I wonder if Collins' hand is worse than we think.
Just because you are QB1 or RB1, or TE1, or Center 1 after spring practice doesn't mean you are a guaranteed starter in the fall.It’s more none of the guys on the roster are ready for this schedule. AngelI might be.
agree. i think he's comfortable with younger kids at CB. a LB is a must. everyone knows that. I trust they'll get one (or two).The team that played the spring game wasn’t talented enough to succeed next season. Loosing Peña and Watson only amplified that. Fran knows this. We have some talented young players but it is dangerous to rely on young players. QB, WR, Tackle and linebacker seem to be the main focus. I wouldn’t mind a corner but that is Fran’s specialty so he must love Samuel and the Kerr’s.
Fran is relentless let’s see how this plays out. He knows the talent has to be improved.
Yeah don’t think he was that high anywhere else … ESPN is very suspect
I’m gonna be honest (no insight on this one) I think we need another corner. If our 2 deep is all freshman and sophomore corners it could be a long season. Need to get a proven guy even if it’s fcs.agree. i think he's comfortable with younger kids at CB. a LB is a must. everyone knows that. I trust they'll get one (or two).
The same people on here saying oh how can Fran annoint Collins as QB 1 and bring in Angeli.I just finished reading 15 pages of this thread. Perhaps I missed it but did Fran say anything in Spring Practice other than what was reported on Nunes is An Absolute Magician?
“He’s getting a lot better. He seems to be moving into the leader of our football team. I’m liking what I’m seeing. Think the players are behind him, (and) everybody is behind him, so it seems like he’s going to be our quarterback,” Brown said.
Surely there must be more than that, right? Otherwise, why the heck do some here have a problem with Fran saying that and potentially brining in Angeli?
It’s not as if Rickie was just QB1 on the depth chart. Fran Brown came out and said Rickie was the guy. There is a massive difference.Just because you are QB1 or RB1, or TE1, or Center 1 after spring practice doesn't mean you are a guaranteed starter in the fall.
Everyone knows that you always need to continue to get better to keep your spot.
If they don't know that, then they should move on, because that's real life.
The coaches have to put the best players out each game or possibly lose and get fired.
I won’t. As i’ve already addressed, my problem has zero to do with bringing Angeli in and 100 to do with how FB went about it.The same people on here saying oh how can Fran annoint Collins as QB 1 and bring in Angeli.
They will be the first ones who if Collins doesn't work out and Angeli goes somewhere and has a great year.
They will complain why did Fran let him get away?
He was the guy at that point.It’s not as if Rickie was just QB1 on the depth chart. Fran Brown came out and said Rickie was the guy. There is a massive difference.
Why name a QB1 for the offseason, a QB1 for the spring? Can you give me any other example of a coach anywhere in America labeling a kid QB1 for the spring and the spring only? Coaches say all the time this player is ahead of this player, that is different than saying to the media “this is our guy”He was the guy at that point.
That's fine I don't see anything wrong and most people on the board don't, so let's end that conversation now.I won’t. As i’ve already addressed, my problem has zero to do with bringing Angeli in and 100 to do with how FB went about it.
