From battle in the trenches, with the trenches, with the losses on the D-line, do we potentially go after bringing Aiden Gobira back into the fold? Or where do we turn for depth? I mean, look, if Aiden wanted to come back, I wouldn't be against it. He was a good player. He's just bearing the depth chart. He was a solid player for James Madison this this year i don't think he was an elite player for

james madison this year i'm gonna look up his numbers but i think he had something like four and a half

sacks just good but i mean i think a guy at that level who's going to come to niter name and be a

difference maker it should be someone that's got more than four and a half sacks you know um he had

25 total pressures on 310 pass rush snaps.

So he had like 10 fewer pressures than Bubacar on like 20 more snaps in the sunbelt.

Like that's nice.

But like he had, oh gosh, about over a hundred more snaps in Bryce Young and had three less pressures.

He's a nice player.

He'd be nothing but a depth guy at Notre Dame.

And I like Aiden Gobiara.

He's good, but I think that's the level he should be at.

Absolutely.

Like, go to UCLA with your head coach. If you want to do that, that's fine. But like, Purdue, those are the levels, I think, are his max for where he is now, because he's had several injuries that have kind of taken some of his burst away and things like that. But I'd take him if he wanted to come here. If he wanted to come back to Notre Dame for some reason and be a rotation guy, I'd be fine with that. It's not something I'm pushing for. It's not something I'm overpaying for. The state of what I'm about to say is more a testament to the state of Notre Dame's roster than it is any individual player that's in the portal. But you've got to keep in mind something. Notre Dame has been recruiting at such a high level over the last couple of seasons that there's a lot of players in the portal that come to this roster and they're just a guy. Yeah. And that's not it. Look, look, I spent two weeks talking about how good of a running back Turbo Richard is. And then you put them in... And mothers, we did the same thing. Yes, absolutely. And then you put them in a room next to Annius Williams and Kedron Young and Nolan James and J.B. and Osborne and Jonas Walton. And you're like, you know, that looks a little different than when you were in Boston College's running back. And it was you and then it was the next guy.

Exactly.

I mean, look at the perfect example.

And he's been a quality player.

I don't want to make it sound like he's been bad.

But look at C.J. Daniels.

He was in a thousand-yard receiver at Liberty.

LSU gets him.

It's like, yo, dude, he's about to turn up in this offense, let's go. He had like 400 yards. Right. And then Miami gets him and it's like, yeah. And he was a nice player, 37 catches for 420 yards. I mean, he was a good player, but he wasn't like the game changer he was at Liberty. 100%. Like it's just, that's what I always try to keep him. Now, with that being said, there's also game changers in the portal. Look what Malachi Fields was able to come in and do. So it's not a
