ACCURATE CHANGES TO NOTRE DAME ROSTER FOR NCAA12

QB#10- Dayne Crist, JrRS, Hasn't really proved anything yet to deserve a 91overall. Lowering his Awareness to 77 makes him a 87 overall which is fair.
QB#13- Tommy Rees, Now #11, The 83 rating is accurate but his 91 throw power is too high. Bump Throw power down to 87, and up throw accuracy to 86 and awareness to 72. This keeps his 83 rating.
QB#12- Andrew Hendrix, FrRS, Really got snubbed with his rating. Is a better QB than Rees but Brian Kelly wanted to save his eligibility with a RS last year. 4/5 notches up on his throwing attributes is accurate.
QB#14- Everett Golson, 180, Take off dreads, #5 but so is someone more important so...

HB#20- Cierre Wood, SoRS, great speed and EA gave him a 88. Fastest player on ND's offense. 93-95 is realistic. (was 93spd in NCAA 11)
HB#25- Jonas Gray
HB#31- Cameron Roberson, FrRS
HB#18- George Atkinson III, #4 but so is someone more important so...

FB#82- Alex Welch, FrRs, Is a TE. ND doesnt roll with a FB

WR#3- Michael Floyd
WR#6- Theo Riddick, theoreticaly(no pun intended haha) one of the shiftiest players in CFB. Very quick. Our punt returner too. EA gave him 88spd and 70breaktackle. WHAT?? 91-92ish spd, 96-97ish Acc, 80ish BrkTack, 90ish elusiveness & juke move is very realistic.
WR#7- TJ Jones, Take off dreads
WR#19- Roby Toma, Now #9 but so is someone more important so...
WR#81- John Goodman

WR#86- Bennett Jackson, Now #2, 181, Moved to CB, 75-76ish rating

DT#99- Brandon Newman
DT#67- Louis Nix, FrRs, Now #9, 340, Will be competeing for starting NT job and will probably win so 79-81ish rating

P#35- Ben Turk

so who's name for the roster luvtotha9s or stlcardz-ndirish?

This was posted on your OS thread (not by me). It was so good and accurate I just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to go unnoitced. [by the way, there are 73 players here and only 2 that he advised to be removed. for the 3rd player, I suggest either WR John Goodman or Deion Walker. Also, Theo Riddick with be the starting kick & punt returner]

Here's a great ND layout

Here's Notre Dame. I listed everybody on the depth chart as they most likely will be, but who knows how EA will end up doing it. They should be in the correct order, I put asterisks next to the guys I would cut/change if needed. Let me know if you need more in depth info (ht/wt or whatever), I can get all the info needed on ND.

Troy Niklas is getting looked at at OLB.

Luv...rosters are looking pretty solid...I'd say that some of those you could shit an extra OLB to the left side...and Aaron Lynch and Stephon Tuitt should be on seperate sides of the end position...Lynch is a wDE Tuitt is an sDE. I'd move Lynch to the right.

Quarterbacks...you have Tommy Rees nearly as fast as Crist...I'd drop Rees down to like 67 or so and Crist at 73 ish...Golson should have a higher top end with a little shiftiness...say an 83 speed and Hendrix should be 78 to 80

Theo Riddick needs a slight boost in HB skills...expect to see him run some Leprechaun formation stuff (Wildcat) this season.

David Pozluszny will probably never see the field and could be replaced with Troy Niklas at an OLB position as he has been working out there.

I've got some big time Irish guys fixing me up a proper depth chart for you.

http://notredame.rivals.com/cdepthtext.asp

That is a link to Rivals depth chart...which is universally agreed on to be darned accurate...

Bridza is the guy for kickoffs and Ruffer is doing field goals...as an added note...

I agree with all of these suggestions as well, especially that of adding Troy Niklas as it has been said that he has a great shot of seeing the field this fall.

If there is another person that you need to take off, I'm sure you could also get rid of Jake Golic as he has a broken arm and didn't seem like he was to play alot.

I have a question about the fullback position, does it allow you to start eifert at both FB and TE, the only problem is that I wish they realized that ND doesn't really play with a FB

Golic can go...so can Poszluzny.

Offense
QB- (1) Crist; (2) Rees
RB- (1) Wood; (2) Gray
TE- (1) Eifert; (2) Ragone
W- (1) Floyd; (2) Smith
Z- (1) Riddick; (2) Toma
X- (1) Jones; (2) Goodman
LT- (1) Z. Martin; (2) Christian Lombard
LG- (1) Watt; (2) Nuss
C- (1) Cave; (2) M. Golic, Jr.
RG- (1) Robinson; (2) Carrico*
RT- (1) Dever; (2) Tate Nichols*

*Notes: Nuss is the #3 OG, so he's likely the first one in if either Watt or Robinson goes down. Similarly, Lombard is the #3 OT, so he's likely the first one in if either Z. Martin or Dever goes down.

Defense
SDE- (1) KLM; (2) Tuitt*
NT- (1) Cwynar; (2) Nix
WDE- (1) Johnson; (2) Lynch
DOLB- (1) Shembo; (2) Spond
MILB- (1) Te'o; (2) McDonald*
WILB- (1) Fox; (2) Calabrese
COLB- (1) Fleming; (2) Filer*
BCB- (1) Gray; (2) Wood
FCB- (1) Blanton; (2) Jackson
SS- (1) Slaughter; (2) Motta
FS- (1) Smith; (2) McCarthy

*Notes: I wish I had a better feel for how and where Schwenke fits into the depth chart. He might end up in front of Tuitt, at least early in the season. If Te'o goes down, I think McDonald gets the nod over Moore because experience trumps ability at the Mike; as the QB of the line, he has to make the right calls. The staff has said they consider Filer a 2nd starter at Cat this year, so it looks like Ishaq is the #3.

Slaughter, Motta, and Collinsworth as FS, and Smith and McCarthy as SS but the Flying Alamo looks good for two deep

nickjamesm7 wrote:Slaughter, Motta, and Collinsworth as FS, and Smith and McCarthy as SS but the Flying Alamo looks good for two deep

ND officially doesn't list them as either FS or SS.
But according to Luv's current roster and every major Irish site Smith and McCarthy are FS.
And Motta and Slaughter are SS.
I have a three deep that is constantly being worked on based on the moves guys make in camp...but that will wait for later when the season starts and Luv gets past v1.

Schwenke and Tuitt are neck and neck for that DE backup spot... Blue and Gold Illustrated has Schwenke ahead...Rivals has Tuitt ahead...so them being even overall or Schwenke being a tiny bit better may be the way to roll with that.

Luv, your current V1 does NOT reflect the changes that FlyingAlamo posted above, most notably Dan Fox is way down in the depth chart at MLB. Zeke Motta still showing as starting SS as well, but that can wait.

Thanks for all your hard work again.

Correct, I added my corrections AFTER Luv sent out the Inner Circle file.

I already made the suggestion to Luv in the other thread, but there's no way Rees should have 91 THP. 85 tops. Hendrix should have a much better arm than him.
