If Lovie was willing to take a chance on a red flag guy like Lawson maybe he would bring in Sean White (former Auburn QB dismissed for public intox)?

Man, I love me some Cam Thomas and he has great potential, but I really think Rivers is our QB of the future. He's just the complete package. Such excellent pocket awareness, poise, accuracy, and running ability. Once he figures out the offensive playbook, look out!
Not going to happen, besides his growth plates are closed. Ooops, wrong message board.
Is he coming in the spring?

Good question. I hope he does just so he has that much more time to learn the system, otherwise I'm thinking he'll almost certainly RS (unless we lose Crouch or George due to transfer). Need to give him every chance to succeed.
Unfortunately, no.
I'd rather through Rivers or Taylor out there. There's a reason he didn't work out in Michigan and it has to do with performance
Hope springs eternal! With the sudden increase in scollies, maybe a bit of flood gates opening up?
I still think we are a long shot with Houston Griffith. He never really considered us. What I am optimistic about is Verdis Brown. The decommit of one of his buddies may encourage him to do the same.
Exactly. Yea this probably signals that Jimbo is taking the TA&M job. I would imagine Houston is going to commit to ND here soon (remember that deleted tweet of his..).
Hopefully Verdis opens his up too. Being able to land him and Avery in the same class would be amazing.

Per my cousin, who I just found out is a teacher at Trinity Catholic, Lovie was there today. Hopefully to offer Cory Patterson a job!
That and to work on the studs in the 2019 class
Myself I hope he plays DL, I like our OL class a lot as it stands already, playing DL we would be landing 2 stud DTs who are monster size. Just getting him is HUGE since he will be here for spring ball
I wonder if Tito Odenigbo's transfer is related to an expectation that Calvin Avery and Verdis Brown are going to step into the DL next year.
Playing time is never (rarely ) guaranteed, depth is always needed, especially on the lines.
Tito would have been a senior, so he would provide depth, experience and leadership in a generic sense.
Reports on here is he was not the best leader, so scratch that facet of the list. So my guess is he was either done with football or was nudged for non-football performance reasons.
Of course I like your thinking better
