important but what if you have a great leader - on a lousy team?

Don't get me wrong, you need talent too. I'm just tired of this board becoming NDNation-lite where every recruiting post is about the world coming to an end because of recruiting.

CFB history is full of teams with very high star ratings that were a disappointment in the end. The right leadership on and off the field is as important as raw talent.

winning is a very delicate balance; recruiting is like The draft. You must get in the draft lottery.

ND fans have to see that while DL recruiting has been less than elite, college football can swing on a recruit or 2.
Gary and OweB and ND is in the mix; that is just 2 DL prospects. That is how delicate things are. DB and LB are solid so that (DL) is the Achilles Heel. (the offense will be dynamic)

Maybe, but that scenario is far and few between.

You recognize that posting things like " the world is not coming to an end because of recruiting" is just begging for responses telling you the world is coming to an end because of recruiting right?
