Fernando Mendoza

Is that an upgrade for him?

We are playing ND first game of the year next year, right? They have had best pass defense in college football last 2 years (#1 in EPA/dropback in '23 & '24 - I'm a nerd lol). I assume we'd like to have a chance to win the game. There is no freaking way we are starting Emory or Nickel in that game. We will get a QB in the portal some how, some way. That QB will start against ND.

Is the northern Illinois guy in the portal?

Ethan Hampton? 247 says he decided on Illinois.

Could the Kansas Qb - Avery Johnson - be a possibiity???

Leavitt is the man. I have no issues passing on Mendoza.

Yeah if we land Leavitt then none of this ends up mattering. But if we passed on Mendoza and don’t land Leavitt (who isn’t even in the portal yet), and end up starting Emory, that’s a big loss.

I honestly don't think a lot of these guys understand how good Notre Dame will be and the defense will be formidable.

Who is Leavitt?

You ppl aren’t talking about the Arizona St dude right

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

I know who he is, I’m just curious why this is even a discussion? Why is his name being mentioned

deductive reasoning would be my guess.

heck of a talent with lots of untapped potential, IMHO.

Number 2?

He has functioning arm(s). Can throw the football. It's a low bar

Sit back and watch the portal master do his thing.

Next move will be Mario pulling the younger Mendoza brother from IU. And then he turns out to be the best QB of the Mendoza brothers. It all sets up perfectly. Chess, not checkers.

Keep doubting Mario. You’ll see.
