Portis , Wingo, and Dunnigan

[DisgruntledSebastianIbis]

Practicing with the team per Gaby

And some teams turn down bowl games because they dont see the value in playing

Sneak Cantwell onto the field in that #35 punt return jersey and pretend it’s Ray Ray. Nobody will notice.

Wait...you want cantwell returning punts?

 

[TheRichtShow]

Well, we’re preparing for the biggest game in this program’s history. I assume staff and team is focused. If you have players that don’t know playbook, or how we practice or compete, does that take staff’s attention away to teach the newbies? Just asking.

This is a completely normal thing. Ohio St and the other 6 CFP schools left all also have incoming frosh practicing, so it'd be very odd if we didnt

 

[bacane]

Are they practicing or observing?

Because if they are actually practicing,I wonder if the coaches view that as a distraction?

Might be going thru drills, but obviously not taking reps. This isn’t time to play around.

 

[90scane]

I guess they have him as JJ to prep the team

Wingo is likely more like Tate than JJ. Parris would be more of a JJ comp, IMO.

 

[TemplarCane]

We don't value in seeing those team play ether.

Nice chance to see what you have with some of the top rated incoming guys prior to transfer portal opening. Extra data points are never a bad thing when trying to figure out how to allocate dollars

Yep. I can imagine how wingo looks against our db's in practice could influence our portal movement.

Yes, no sarcasm whatsoever. If Richard Gordon can return kickoffs, I don't see why Cantwell cant return punts

 

[Confidence1000]

Exactly? lol

That’s what I’ve been sayin

 

[Confidence1000]

Reaching a bowl is an incentive for teams because it awards you extra practice time you do not otherwise have this time of year. No bowl = no practice
Wasn't there a thread about ND in the preseason talking about all the extra practice they had due to making it to the final last year?

That’s what I’ve been trying to say. U can’t have extra practices if ur not going bowling

 

[ssvir]

New law firm?

Focused on Mesothelioma claims

 

[Canesfan1899]

I remember this rule being in effect for the first time in 2000, getting ready for the Sugar Bowl vs uf. I believe Terrell Walden and Vince Wilfolk were at least 2 of fresh-out of high school kids who were added to the Sugar Bowl roster. So this is not a novel thing.

May not be a novel thing but we haven’t played in anything of consequence in 20 years, it is most certainly a big thing today. Let the new guys see the intensity of playoff game prep

 

[lindend]

Pete says Wingo has taken on the JJ role to prep the team. Sounds like he's exceeding expectations

 

[sstcane]

You are not able to practice if you're not in a bowl game: ND forfeited their practices and said they are focusing on off season and spring.

I wondered if these incoming freshmen would be put on the Scout Team right away once they went through the mandatory non-contact practices. Sounds like they are playing their part. Nice!!

 

[HardCane]

andre johsnon and edge were talking about that on the sideline. watch andre Johnson mic'd up. they said they dont have someone for Beck to go deep too.

I've been saying this since game 2.

 

[Cane44]

Its a good time for them to see how our upper classmen lock-in and practice/prepare for big moments. Outside of an exciting time to be apart of the program.

 

[hollyhood27]

Another perk..,these kids get more reps!

 

[gogeta4]

seen Dunnigan walking around when they were interviewing Mario kid looked tall as **** an not out of place already
