Play the game the following day. That’s what i meant. They (everyone involved with making the decision to cancel the game) probably determined that it wasn't worth the time and effort to reschedule everything for the following day, IDK... especially considering that it's essentially an exhibition game. I def feel for the seniors though. That’s what bothers me especially a kid like rypien who has been there for ever it seems.

Per Pete Sampson (ND Insider on The Athletic), in regards to ND CB Julian Love:
"Asked Julian Love about returning next season. Said he received a second round grade and some feedback that he could go lower. Added that being a captain next season would be a reason to come back, but has not made a decision on 2019."
We'll see what happens.

...thinking of different scenarios where NE will draft: This could go offense heavy first.
27: R1P27 OT DAVID EDWARDS WISCONSIN (6'7", 315)- Is Wynn totally healthy? Projection: T. Brown to sign elsewhere. 59: R2P27 WR HAKEEM BUTLER IOWA STATE (6'5", 220) - go head and put a another wide receiver, if you don't like Butler, but I think NE goes 2nd Rd WR. Butler has a huge catch radius. 60: R2P28 DL RASHARD LAWRENCE LSU (6'3", 300) - Very Strong at POA, drives blockers into the backfield. leader on the LSU team. There may be a FA signing or one of Brown and or Shelton are resigned on a team friendly deal. 69: R3P5 QB JAKE BENTLEY SOUTH CAROLINA (6'4", 225) - Pick another QB if you like, I think NE may draft one, but this QB draft class is not strong. Seem a developmental guy is the best bet. They may not draft a QB this year and continue with Etling for another year. I guess it all comes down to Brady again. 97: R3P33 TE KADEN SMITH STANFORD - Pick a another TE here if you like, Hollister, S. Anderson and Izzo are signed, Gronk and Allen may not be back. 100: R3P36 LB DEVIN BUSH MICHIGAN - Smaller LB, high IQ to work with Bentley and Sam for the future, Hightower should still be around. 129: R4P27 S JOJO MCINTOSH WASHINGTON (6'1", 205) - Safety depth, hard hitting, ST 174: R5P35 EDGE BYRON COWART MARYLAND (6"4", 293) - was the Nation's top-ranked recruit, left Auburn after two-years. Projection: T. Flowers resigned 234: R7P18 LB CHRISTIAN MILLER ALABAMA - depth and ST 243: R7P27 WR OLAMIDE ZACCHEAUS UVA - (5'9", 180 ) Captain with good production 252: R7P36 DL OLIVE SAGAPOLU WISCONSIN - (6'2", 345) a cheaper Shelton

December 26, 2018 - 2:54 pm Buffalo QB Jackson looking to transfer … Along with the news (see below) that Oregon junior QB Justin Herbert, one of the top 1-2 prospects at the position for the upcoming draft, will be returning to school for his senior campaign next fall, comes news that Buffalo junior QB Tyree Jackson, who had also been expected to declare this year, is looking to transfer. The 6-7, 245-pound Jackson has reportedly entered the NCAA’s transfer portal Jackson and could play elsewhere next fall as a graduate transfer. For starters, this would seem to indicate that Jackson will not be entering this year’s draft which would probably be a good move for him. Jackson has all the physical tools in the world including outstanding arm strength and mobility, however, he still needs to significantly refine the finer points of his game including accuracy and decision-making in the pocket as he completed just 55% of his throws this fall and often appeared rattled when forced off his spot. gbnreport.com/

Could this be the weakest QB draft in years?? Really bad since QB's are needed..

Player: Deebo Samuel / WR / South Carolina
Listed Size: 5-11+ 210
Accomplishments: 1st Team All-American as an all-purpose player, 1st Team All-SEC as a WR, and has his degree.
Fit:
Dynamic all-purpose player that can impact two phases of the game.
Solid, savvy route runner that can separate consistently.
Has the quicks/COD that they look for.
A weapon after the catch that can beat you with speed, elusiveness or physicality.
Good hands, and plucks the football.
Not a burner or pure deep threat, but plenty fast.
Tough and competitive.
Versatile and can play outside, in the slot and be used as a runner on jet sweeps/reverses, etc.
Plenty of production against ranked/Power-5 teams.
Overall: Each year I seem to be extremely high on at least one WR/Slot type and this year is no different, heck, there are multiple that I'm high on in this class. And while Samuel doesn't have the highest upside or the biggest name, he just might bet he best fit, for what NE likes in their WR's. Tough, competitive, reliable on the field, smart, good route runner, separates consistently and catches the football, are all things that describe Deebo, and he does it against everyone, putting up 16-391-4 against (3) Top 20 pass defenses in 2018, and gutting Clemson on multiple occasions. He also can impact as a returner, which should appeal to a coach/GM that puts a premium on versatility. Now, no the negative side, he's had some durability issues (2016 hamstring issues, 2017 fractured fibula) that has caused him to miss a good amount of time, but he did play in all (12) games this season, and BB hasn't shied away from talented, productive players that come with some past injury risk. I think he'd make a heck of a pick on day 2 of the draft, and would challenge for snaps early, assuming he stays healthy.
Give him a look:

IDK if the Pats will be looking for an OG in the draft, but I like Chris Lindstrom who plays for BC.

IDK if the Pats will be looking for an OG in the draft, but I like Chris Lindstrom who plays for BC. That is assuming of course that he is healthy. I say that because he looks like his walk in between plays has a bit of a limp. Yeah, solid player... local boy too. Played his HS ball at Shepherd Hill, in Dudley MA. I think a lot could depend on where they plan on playing Wynn, as they look set on the interior with this point... though Thuney is a FA after the 2019 season.

Who does these college bowl matchups? They suck. Too many blowouts. The same people who don't want a real playoff system just like every other major college sports has, at every level. A bunch of fat cat blowhards who are full of shit up to their eyeballs.

He really struggled this year but he’s interesting prospect. Big arm. Over 6’1. Can move pretty well. If he didn’t struggle this year he likely would have gone in the first round. He has a lot of talent. He struggled this year though against top teams. Idk if it was personnel or what.

Idk if it was personnel or what. 15/21 completion is good but does not seem exceptional when your team ran the ball 52 times, averaging 4 yds per carry. I personally would not draft a QB who is not expected to carry his team in a bowl game.

This team needs a DT, DE, LB, WR. I wouldn’t draft a safety nor a cornerback. They need to concentrate on those positions.
