Saw where two maybe 3 starters are moving on, I guess they filled in when the regular starters got hurt, any chance Purdue is trying to get them? Guessing they’ll want a bigger program but if they were to go to Purdue the line all of a sudden is very good.
ND O Lineman transfers

- Start date
I would say that it has nothing to do with a bigger program. You were playing for Notre Dame. I would say that they want a bigger paycheck. It has not been our style to chase these types of players with an open checkbook, but you never know I guess.
Chan went to UConn. Down to spindler who went to clarkston HS, which we historically have recruited well, and Coogan who is from Chicago and we offered out of HS. I think we are set at left side of line but maybe one could step in at RG. If they are capable of RT we could upgrade there. Maybe Tanona will help recruit them.
always nice to have depth, the one thing I noticed about top teams is their depth, if one 6'5 320 OL gets hurt the next 6'5 320 guy w/ tree trunk legs comes in to do well
These guys aren’t looking for places to ride the bench. Probably why they may want out of south bend. Tanona also isn’t going to recruit over himself by getting two guys that play the same LG position as him to come here.
Spindler is down to Michigan, Nebraska, and Indiana.
Coogan is considering Michigan, Indiana, and Ole Miss.

They both basically play the same position, LG. Indiana has a hole there with their current LG retiring so it’s a clear opportunity. Seems like these guys use Michigan for leverage. But not surprised indiana is pushing hard for a transfer at LG.
I agree. But these guys aren’t going to come here to start at LG knowing their buddy Tanona is penciled in there nor is Tanona going to recruit them to take his spot lol. Maybe at RG.
BTW Spindler is confirmed to Nebraska.
I'd assume most of these guys can play different positions, look at osu the way they moved guys around and didn't miss a beat. Good for Neb and their commitment to make their team better
They can but if they are good at one why would they transfer to a different position on the line? They are leaving because they don’t want to start out on the bench I suspect they want. As close to a guarantee as they can get and trying out for a new position on the OL is not bird in hand. Now Coogan I believe played some center out of necessity this year so he’s proven there and as long as you have the smarts to play cente that seems more interchangeable. I think technique from guard to tackle is very different and usually different sizes so would expect someone who has only played interior for 3-4 years to want to play tackle somewhere else.
