  • At this stage of the recruiting cycle is more than recent years. I know it was more than last year.

    I've been following ND recruiting for as long as they've had websites built specifically for it and i've never seen them have this many at this stage. I honestly think we might have the best recruiting staff we have had in nearly two decades right now.

  • I think many schools are setting personal records for most commits at this stage in the game. This isn't something only the ND staff is doing; it used to be that only Texas had 12+ kids committed at this point in the year. Now there are a bunch of them.

    I think the NCAA really needs to reform recruiting when they're done with post-season play. It's getting more and more ridiculous.

  • I think that since Kelly has arrived, that each year there has been a target area: Defensive line, Wideouts, Corner Backs..etc. I think that makes it somewhat easier to concentrate heavily on specific targets. This year we really only needed one TE = Bingo! 1 QB = Bingo! We wanted a complete offensive line = Bingo! I also think going forward we won't be as desperate at any one position. The staff has had a battle plan and has executed. All that is easily said but the staff has produced. There have been loses but the expertise that finds a Chris Brown or a Procise, more than covers the whims of any recruit or the misfortune of a Tee Shepard.
    The fun will be in seeing how each prospect develops.
