The fact is we don't need a bunch of five-star recruits, we need recruits with talent that are committed to staying 4 years. In today's CFB landscape, ND will never again be the favored landing place for these 5 star kids. We will so much better served by talented (whether it be 4 star or 3 star) kids who will be here for 4 years.
I haven’t seen it on twitter yet but hope he’s right... seems prematureo
Confirmed signing???????
ND getting back in it for Boykin and pulling that upset would be very nice. Boykin and Brown is not as good as Boykin and Irvin but it is still pretty good. Still doesn't address the concerns many have about the lines though.
NY, I hear ya, I was being a little flippant with that. But my overall point is/was that we just are not going to get those players. So the only real way we will ever compete again for a Natty is through continuity ... getting players with talent that can/will stay for 4 years. That kind of experience on a team can help to offset the lack of initial 5 star recruits. The growing number, year over year, that leave early is actually ruining CFBDie Hard I disagree that we don't need 5 star recruits. If we could get one or two in every class would be great but I do agree with your statement that we will never be the landing spot for the majority of 5 star recruits. The college football landscape for the most part has changed.

Nicholas Petit-Frere commits to OSU
Its not premature.I haven’t seen it on twitter yet but hope he’s right... seems premature
Let's not forget the impact of Hainsey's unexpected rise as a freshman. He has far exceeded all expectations and, according to Long, is projected to be our starting left tackle next year. That significantly enhances the outlook of the 2017 OL haul. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the top 2018 OT prospects looked at ND's LT situation and decided it looks pretty closed for the next 2-3 years.Not near the upside as Petit-Frere. A really solid consolation prize but when you lose McGlinchey and Nelson in the same year your hope is to replace them with prospects with similar upside. That's how great programs stay great programs. A revolving door of top end talent. Maybe one of the 4 big fellas in the class proves to be an underrated Zack Martin type, but that's hoping for a miracle. ND whiffed on its 4 top tackles in 2017 and it's 3-4 top tackles in 2018 as well. They still landed aome quality replacements, but it's something to watch moving forward to see if the line play drops off as the recruited talent dips.
Its not premature.
Houston wasn't in his top three at the table. The video was up 15 minutes ago. I am just telling yall its done unless there is something weird like he announces one school and sends and NLI in to another.He was involved with Houston till they got full taking a QB but they felt he was going to ND. Hope to hear a positive on this soon.
I'm actually an ND fan also, but thanks anyway for the negative post, stay classy fella.We already knew this yesterday afternoon.
But I’m glad an OSU fan had time in his day away from serving fries to come to a ND board.

I wouldn't have hated it.IMO, elite looks like...
LT: Nick Petit-Frere (JR)
LG: Tommy Kraemer (5th)
C: Robert Hainsey (SR)
Like i said, stay classy fellaYou are not “an ND fan also.”
You are an OSU fan who came to gloat.
Okay, fella?
Bye.
In all honesty, I can't blame him. I, like the majority on this board, would chose ND in a heartbeat if given the opportunity..... but if you don't grow up being a huge fan, it wouldn't be that obvious. Think about it, if you are a legit talent like NPF, your goal is/should be to make the NFL.... and quite simply OSU would give you a better chance for that. Now granted, it is slim to make the league and that is where an ND degree would trump an OSU degree.... but an OSU degree is a degree nonetheless.Would have been nice to have NPF but in the end ND is a commitment to the classroom as well as the football field. That just isn't the case at a school like OSU.

I do think he would have a better chance to go to the NFL at OSU for the reasons you listed. Less time on school= more time on practice. Winning more games= more time in the spotlight.I don't think going to OSU gives him a better shot at the NFL. We've put a bunch of OL in the pros in recent years. He probably chose them for the lighter academic load, as well as their better records on the field under Meyer. He hasn't won fewer than 11 games there yet. It is what it is. But I think we have a very solid class this year overall.
Terry Joseph is a bad bad man
Keys is Irish.Just came back in and love the news so did they get Keys as well?
