Some Mountains.

  • In the movie Napolean Dynamite, the character known as Uncle Rico claims that he can throw a football over some mountains. Now, we're not stupid. We all know only Chuck Norris can do that. But the mountains reminded me - have you seen our haul at OT so far in this recruiting cycle? Sweet Jesus.

    So, let me ask a question: Why hasn't one single top running back in the country looked at the OT's in this class and immediately said, "Sign me up."? This OT class averages 6 ft 6 1/2 inches and 296 pounds. And they're still in high school. Hell, in three years, Kim Jong-un would be able to gain 1,000 yards with that line. So, forget throwing a football over some mountains. How about running between some mountains?

    Anyone? Why aren't RB's clamoring all over each other to get to ND? Yeah, this running back is interested and that running back likes us...but we just need one. I wouldn't take the chance that the train will leave the station. And I get to run behind sequoiadendron giganteum for four years.

    What's the problem?

  • Great question - this OL pull looks like what I recruit on EA's NCAA Football.

  • Most likely they have realized how much depth we really have at ND and they are basically coming in as being the 5th or 6th RB on the depth charts. Some guys shy away from experienced competition.

  • I think until we start winning consistently on the field some kids will just opt to go elsewhere.

    First time POTW for 4/18/2011-4/24/2011.

  • Wasn't GAIII like a 4 star or was he only 3. Whichever a lot of the guys BK has gotten have really been very good
    considering a lot seemed like 3 star. So maybe what he's getting are the RKGs. I for one have been really surprised
    with some of them, not so much with others, like 5 star DEs' that pack it up. I think BK is perfecting his RKG list
    each year. Now if he can just get the QB thing right.

  • Thought you always laughed me.

    It very well could be a problem----Riddick, Wood, Atkinson, Carlisle, Mahone,
    Russell are six quality backs and only one is out of eligibility next year.
    But, we are still in the hunt with some quality backs, especially Green. We will
    have to see.

    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.
