The covid issues of this year preventing more visits. Yes, I'm aware this affected every school, but in this case it hurts ND far more. Recruits are further away from South Bend, preventing drive-by stop-in visits during the pandemic. On top of that, our visits sell recruits more than going to most campuses. You really have to see ND up close to understand its allure.

If you believe the ISD guys, we likely would've landed 4-6 more elite recruits this year and might have had a top 5 class if not for covid preventing visits.
