Notre Dame and Brian Kelly launched the begriming of spring practice today with a press conference full of informative numbers. Seriously, if you wanted to know the weights of every player on the roster and get it straight from the coaches mouth; this was a presser for you.
If you look deeper inside the rabbit hole, you should see what I see… calmness. Presser's like this, the ones that talk about weight gains, competition, and confidence without sounding out of touch, or brash, or elusive help show that this program is now sitting on a strong foundation and Coach Kelly knows it. We are in year 4 and things seemingly have fell into place as Brian Kelly had suggested during this time. Development- it's a real thing.
I'll have a little more for you tomorrow, including another thought about Gunner Kiel (please note Gunner's replacement in the image above, courtesy of Kelly Bloor @phillykelly). Until then, please feel free to dissect the new info after watching the presser in its entirety in the video below.
