ND came in 3rd place behind OSU and Bama who tied at 10 players drafted. Can you say the gap is closing. The difference is Bama and OSU always get two or three 5 stars a class and ND struggles to get any of them . Clemson had five. It is my understanding their entire starting defense is intact from last year. It will be hard to replace the combo of Lawrence and Etinne as well as their starting receivers. You have to love the job of our o-line coach is doing. If ND can just land a couple of stud 5 star guys.
