I think the author has a valid point. Demands on the WR position at Notre Dame seem unusually high compared to other top schools. I forgot which player on defence said learning the system was like learning Chinese Manderin during the Van Gorder years. According to the article (and Brian Driskell at SI Irish breakdown) the same situation appears to be the case at wide receiver in the last few years. BTW, we have not heard much with respect to Xavier Watts this spring either. I hope he doesn't become another Jordan Johnson
