NDs class is currently ranked 14th and will only continue to slide as the remaining elite athletes choose their school before national signing day over the next several weeks.
I relate a program's recruiting results to the health of the program the same way board members relate a company's stock price to the future health of their company. The prospects in college football (the recruits) are the investors in this scenario.
Despite ND being 12-1 and making the playoffs, the prospects aren't really buying into the future of this program, and since they have actual skin in the game/way more on the line, this is probably the most telling sign of where ND stands as a program right now (ranked about 15th).
Despite programs like Texas A&M and Oregon having pretty average seasons, their stock price is soaring, with classes ranked in the top 7. Investors are very optimistic about the future of these programs.
