Zach Evans isn’t going to ND.
It’s safe to say so.

of course not.

Yeah. But that doesn’t explain suspect hands & poor route running, two things that have nothing to do with competition.

I haven't watched his film, I was just commenting on potential reasons for a ranking disparity.

I don’t know enough about him other than many think he is rated too high.
Then to prove a point one of the analyst removed the names & rankings & just showed film of a few WRs & asked people to rank them. It’s interesting to see how people judge players if they aren’t already biased by a ranking or Stars.

The teams you listed are recruiting a handful, if not more, of players ranked inside the top 50. It's safe to say if you are grabbing 3-4 kids per year, year in and year out, out of top 50 of any reputable ranking service - you're going to be fielding a team of elite players. I do believe ND needs more top 50 players if they want to be a legit playoff / national title contender consistently. I do think the consistent recruiting during the BK era (a few top 100 but always 20-24 players) allows for depth and 10 win teams. If we can get our QB hitting the same year we have a defense (2012/2017) then we can crack that playoff and possibly title once every 6yrs or so. ND needs to be in the title game 2 times every decade and they need to win 1 every decade. I can live with that.

I think Alabama and those teams are getting a real handful.. And we agree, as do most reasonable fans, that to be legitimate contenders that competing, and getting a few, of the players considered in the top 5 at their respective positions is really a prerequisite.

Georgia signed 7 composite 5 stars this cycle & 12 top 50 players. George will be the new recruiting king.

ND fans are familiar with that.

Lou got star RB's and was great at developing players on the OLine and Dline. Andy Heck was a TE that became an AA Tackle ... everyone knows about Zoro... Terrell, Lyght , etc. his downfall was his success . he lost great coaches and could not always replace them good coaches.

vinnie cerrato was the biggest loss.
