ND Ranked No. 5 in The Athletic's Post-Spring Rankings

Not sure how many subscribers there are here to The Athletic. One of their CFB writers, Ari Wasserman, has ND ranked at #5 in his post-spring practice top 25. Here are his top 10:

1. Ohio State
2. UGA
3. Oregon
4. Texas
5. ND
6. Ole Miss
7. Bama
8. Missouri
9. UM
10. Miami

I realize these kinds of rankings are just fodder for the fans, but some of his picks are interesting.

What amused me the most were the comments following the story. ND's position in the rankings was by far the most controversial, with one poster after another claiming ND was overranked (again), they need to be in a conference, and that they are irrelevant as a CFB program. Given the dozens of haters who decided they just had to comment, the "irrelevant" tag was especially comical.

Aside from wanting to see ND win another Natty before I shuffle off into the big locker room in the sky, I will especially take delight in seeing all the haters go apoplectic. What a glorious day that will be.

A lot of prospects slept on Brian Kelly while he was at Notre Dame

I think Brian Kelly's reputation/profile as a top player developer in the college ranks is quickly sky rocketing since taking over at LSU.

Brian Kelly was always an elite player developer though but he was always working with a talent handicap at ND (partially his own fault) with mostly three and four star players.

BK is now getting the elite 5-star chads in big numbers at LSU and is no longer being slept on (as per the level of talent LSU has incoming in their '25 class)

I think BK is creating a sleeping monster at LSU and will shortly have more material to work with than he ever had in his wildest dreams while he was at Notre Dame
