Wow good question. I would have to go with Clausen right now. There was so much hype around that kid. He actually did throw a great ball. Too bad Willingham left the cupboards bare and he was a tackling dummy for most of his ND tenure.If they were both seniors, which kid would be ranked higher based on recruiting assessment data?

Why not go straight to Russell Wilson or Sammy Baugh! ?
Geez! Different era’s but JC was the #1 player in his class. And Buchner?
According to 247 composite, Clausen is the best recruit we’ve ever signed.
Clausen. He threw the ball like no other. Man I wish we could have him right now with a much better team around him.
The team around Clausen was loaded with talent. Offensively it was elite. The coaching, execution & motivation was horrible though.
The defense was pretty bad too.
That was coaching & Weis always pitting them in bad spots. They had a lot of talent too. Many did better in the NFL than at ND.
His arm was way stronger than Books. Go back and watch his highlights. He had a canon. His tape makes Book look amateur. I don’t know where he lacked or why he wasn’t a great NFL player. There was something lacking.Clausen was overrated as a prospect. They said he was the Lebron James of high school QBs. They were way off on their evaluation
He was extremely accurate. But he had zero athleticism, average height and body size. Okay arm nothing spectacular. He was misevaluated
His arm was stronger than Books. Who said it wasnt? But Clausen did not have a rocket arm. Buchners arm is much stronger at the same ageHis arm was way stronger than Books. Go back and watch his highlights. He had a canon. His tape makes Book look amateur.
This is trueClausen was one of the most accurate QB’s I’ve ever seen.
I’m excited for Buchner. I hope he’s 3/4 as as good as Clausen.
No doubt Clausen was the perfect Pass Pro style college QB. I think Buchner will be a step below that, but multiple steps up as an athlete & leader.
Thanks for posting that, I enjoyed watching it and it’s a reminder that even if the Weis years were overall not successful there were really were a lot of fun moments as a fan, especially (but not only) in year 1 and 2
I don’t think it’s possible to throw a better ball than what Clausen did, but Buchner brings a whole other element that Clausen couldn’t with his running ability. Buchner is without a doubt a 5* talent.

at this time = a ridiculous statement!

Hold the phone. Sounds like Pyne is standing out above the competition at Under Armor practices.

The people who do the rankings have said so. They said he is 100% a 5 Star recruit, but they need to see him stay healthy through lacrosse season & play another full year of football. But they said if so he will be top 25 overall.
Hes a USC fan obsessed with being on an ND board. Really weirdd1042 should be perma banned from this site. He’s nothing more than a pest.

I know this is a free board, but you’d think they’d want to keep guys like him off their boards and running off valuable posters and prospective customers. This board could really use a mod. All this guy does is lay in the weeds taking shots at ND and irritating the site’s regulars. He never has an objective opinion for any of his comments. Like I said, he’s a pest at best.
