Here are my updated player rankings. I've included the remaining targets as well. Abiara, who won't sign with ND, is included as a refrence point. I have no problem if you completley disagree with my rankings, but instead of posting something like "you're wrong on player x", let me know know why you think i'm wrong.

A couple thoughts on these rankings and players:
-Buchner has superstar potential, but also big bust potential. His funky motion, lack of playing time in HS, and reps against poor competition make his ranking very hard to gauge. He also disspointed mightily at the Elive 11 camp. I still can't get past his jr film which is flat out elite.
-I had Riley, who I still love as the 3rd best player in the class last rankings. I just like some of the new commits more who have really high ceilings.
-Clark Lee's track record is outstanding as is the recent productivity of Hawaiian players at ND, but I would have passed on Kia. I'm not sure how you offer and accept his commitment thisyear but passed on Herbig last year, who is bigger, stronger, faster and a better player than Kia is.
-I have no clue how to evaluate a kicker, but Bryan's leg is not as good as Doerer's, Yoons or Setta's leg was on HS film, and his stats in HS are very average. I understand he also plays LB, and I understand in HS you kick off a tee and you have HS kids snapping and holding who don't practice much, but i'm not blown away with his available film on HUDL
