Rapid Fire topics include:

* Notre Dame quarterbacks coach Gino Guidugli shares his thoughts on the competitiveness of freshman quarterback CJ Carr and we share our thoughts on the importance of that intangible trait.  

* Someone did a mock-up of an all-black Notre Dame uniform with gold numbers and shared it on X/Twitter. Buy or Sell Notre Dame using a black alternate uniform color scheme?

* Fill-in the blank...Notre Dame women’s basketball player KK Bransford pulling her name out of the transfer portal and staying at Notre Dame is BLANK.

* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that the Heisman trust has decided to give Reggie Bush his 2005 Heisman Trophy back.

* Former Notre Dame commit Dylan Edwards is in the transfer portal after a year with Coach Prime at Colorado. Would you Buy or Sell Edwards at Notre Dame?

* The Chicago Bears have not only the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft...they also have the No. 9 pick. Should they trade up...trade down...or stand pat and what position should they take with the pick? 

* Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers have the No. 5 overall pick in the draft. The Opening line had them at 100 to 1 odds to take a quarterback with that pick. Tuesday it was at 15 to 1 and this morning the odds were down to just 6 to 1. What do you make of this? 

* Listener questions about Riley Leonard and the Irish quarterback room confidence.
