This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

No. You establish the data with facts -not alternative facts by Hickster

and then you make your observations. You can make your own, and I made mine with supporting data. It is obvious that ND’s recruiting is underperforming.

I think that Coach Kelly is finally getting it when he said ND needs to attain Top 5 recruiting. Unfortunately it should not have taken him 10+ years to realize that. This year hurt due to the pandemic, but the loss of recruiting momentum after 3 years was a huge mistake, that he has to own. As a national recruiting school, BK did not establish ND recruiting to help overcome most of issues of the pandemic

ND is not that close to Oklahoma in recruiting, but closer to them than the Top 5 teams. In 2021 ND is #8 with 27 recruits and Oklahoma is #9 with 16 recruits (11 fewer recruits). Which class is better in quality and has room for more.recruits in 2021 and for a lot more quality recruits in 2022.

Personally, I think that he is doing the right thing by having his coordinators do the primary game planning, he got good results from his last 2 choices and I hope he gets the right DC.
