Unless you are trying to only apply this rule to guys that transfer from Michigan, it wouldn't be difficult to to drop you a list of dozens of names.

Michigan has much deeper talent right now at the receiver positions than ND.
M has one of the best receiver groups in the nation. Lots of talent at WR, slot, TE, even H-back.
M has guys that will be 2nd and 3rd string at each of these positions that would start a most schools. That was Canteen's situation. He'll probably be a good WR this year for ND.
August 30th, 2017 at 11:53 AM ^
You definitely took a shot at him. He has talent, and for all we know fits the ND system better. I bet he has a productive year.

As long as the 1 in 1-11 is Sparty, I'm with you WD.
August 30th, 2017 at 10:23 AM ^
of all the things to be upset about re: WD, this should be it people.
NEVER root for ND. 0-12 is the only acceptable response.
-1

But there may be someone that I particularly hope loses. It's usually MSU.
August 30th, 2017 at 4:40 PM ^
Sparty on (vs ND and OSU and if it somehow benefits M only)
August 30th, 2017 at 10:44 AM ^
August 30th, 2017 at 11:09 AM ^
Aren't you one of the guys who pretends MSU isn't a real rival?

August 30th, 2017 at 10:06 AM ^
Didn't even know he was at ND. Good for him though.
August 30th, 2017 at 10:07 AM ^
What is this "depth chart" thingy you speak of? I'm not familar with one of those.
August 30th, 2017 at 10:08 AM ^

needs more Eastern Christian Academy footwork drill GIF. Apparently I can't post pics anymore, someone help me out.
August 30th, 2017 at 10:28 AM ^
Mesmerizing.
August 30th, 2017 at 10:49 AM ^
over a padless footwork drill that was about as meaningful as a dance routine is a testament to how desperate the fanbase was.
August 30th, 2017 at 11:30 AM ^
Shit.
So the guy can do the robot. That doesn't make him Braylon Edwards.
August 30th, 2017 at 12:16 PM ^
They all look pretty good at that drill. Am I missing something?
August 30th, 2017 at 1:15 PM ^
Eastern Christian Academy is the Fred Astaire of footwork-skills teaching.
They need to work on the hands though.
August 30th, 2017 at 10:52 AM ^
Damn it, I couldn't find the gif of Xavier SImpson doing his little twirly move.
August 30th, 2017 at 10:17 AM ^
I'd love to see him light up Sparty in a few weeks.
August 30th, 2017 at 10:24 AM ^
Best of luck, Freddy Footwork.
August 30th, 2017 at 10:30 AM ^
I'm hoping he plays well.
August 30th, 2017 at 10:34 AM ^
August 30th, 2017 at 10:59 AM ^
Rooting for Freddy!
August 30th, 2017 at 1:04 PM ^
silly question: doesn't he have to sit out a year or was he a grad transfer?
August 30th, 2017 at 1:14 PM ^
will kick ND and Canteen's ass next year!
August 30th, 2017 at 1:22 PM ^
Here's a better approach OP:
"Canteen named starter. I cannot imagine how this is not a positive sign for him."
Around here, we kind of give a shit about former players, and tend to root for their improvement. And as we've seen, several times, players (e.g., Rawls) make great improvements when the get themselves into a better fitting program. So stop being such a douche.

The three that stick out to me are a trio of guys who were in the NFL while I was in middle school - William Peterson (Now goes by William James) who transferred to W. Illinois after 1998, Justin Fargas, who played for 3 years before transferring to USC for 2002 then playing for the Raiders, and Trevor Pryce, who also did a P5 transfer from Michigan to Clemson, won two Super Bowls with the Broncos, and went to 4 Pro Bowls.
I always wonder how their paths would have changed if they had stayed at Michigan, maybe they wouldn't have sniffed the league, maybe our fortune would have been a little better. Outside of the obvious guys like Mallett, who else from the last 15-25 years has transferred out and gone on to have great success elsewhere and perhaps in the NFL?
August 30th, 2017 at 3:37 PM ^
I guess it would be my hope that this says less about ND football and more about Canteen finding a place and system that is better for him and his skill set. Granted, the program is not in a happy place and Kelly is under the microscope, but hopefully Canteen has a good season all the same.
