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.

Not to nitpick by DBCooper
But it depends which service you are looking at. I’m guessing you are using 247 composite. 247 own rankings have 5 ND players in top 100 (including CJ). On3 has 5 as well (not including CJ).
100 is an arbitrary number. ND certainly needs more 100 top recruits, and I think Freeman will improve those numbers, but the recruiting services are not all aligned when it comes to who is a top 100 recruit. And it’s not even close sometimes
On3 doesn’t think much of CJ Williams at all, as an example. Not even top 300. 247 has Eli raridon as the 2nd best TE and ranked 65 overall. Rivals has him as the 22nd TE and not even ranked overall.
