Neal hurts the most.  Ferguson was about playtime, he was sliding down the depth chart.  As for ND not being a top10 team I think you are dreaming.  The defense is what drove the team last year.  If we could ever field an offense we'd be dangerous.

Some of my cronies aren't too concerned about the transfers and frankly if these kids can get play time elsewhere more power to them.  I DETEST to the loss of bodies.  Our effective haul from the 2012 recruiting class is 13 players and one is a long snapper.

I don't lose sleep over it, we aren't hurting too much at any one place right now, but you all know how the injury bug goes.  THat all encompassing Injury God is lurking around every corner.

For what it's worth, ESPN was considerably higher on both those guys as recruits than Rivals (Neal 4*, Ferguson 3*) or Scout (Neal 4* CB, Ferguson 3*).  Both those guys would be in the bottom 25% of ND's 2013 recruiting class, so I'm sure Kelly sees some Saban-ish upside to their departures.

tired of reading posts about them. It will end soon when we stop playing.  They made their bed, now stop following them.  who cares about the domers?
