Why isn't MFs success netting more blue chip interest?

I noticed ND is now a 2 point underdog to UGA.

If ND had top 5 talent, instead of back end top 10 talent, they would probably be a 5 point favorite with a far higher likelihood to win this game.

I like how several of the posters in this thread understand how the talent rankings work and what they represent but are now disregarding the information/evidence and playing make believe in their heads that ND has 5 star talent on the field lol

ND has 3 & 4 star talent that has been maximized with great player development and great scheme but its the lack of high 4 & 5 star talent that is still capping this program's upside.

Imagine NDs coaching staff with OSUs roster/talent for example

OSUs roster has 14 five-stars and another 10+ top 100 prospects on it for example (that means 25 of their 80+ scholarship players are top 100 consensus talent with more than half of that being 5-star talent)

Imagine what Marcus Freeman/ this coaching staff could do with that much talent?

So now, being a 2 pt underdog to the best team of the last 5 years is somehow a disgrace to you?

Sorry ND rejected you

Once Ryan Day gets canned the allure of OSUs top talent is going to be really hard for Marcus Freeman to resist. I dont know why ND has to operate as the little engine that could and not the industry leader that it is in terms of annual sales/revenue. Makes no sense to me. And fans dont push back and ask critical questions they instead lap up the university's PR machine and alienate anybody who challenges their belief about it. Disgusting.

Yawn.

We aren’t getting stud wrs and dl because we aren’t putting that product into the nfl much or doing great on the field… that’s only positions really lacking and they are probably our worst recruiting coaches as well

Inaccurate

Dear alphabet poll lover...

Allow me a moment to explain the way the world works.

The line shifted for two reasons. Even out the money and Rylie Mills being confirmed scratch.

Now for your star players...

Ready?
A team full of 5 stars is easier to coach. No question about that.
BUT..
A team full of 4 stars can sometimes get better results because of coaching.
5 stars are great athletes. They also come with 5 star ego's
4 stars are really good athletes and come with a prove you wrong chippy attitude.
They're naturally motivated to prove people like you wrong.

In the end no matter how stacked a roster is, anyone can mess up a wet dream. You remember that!

Most of the 5 stars aren’t interested in the demands of the Notre Dame classroom. We get some here and there but they typically want to bolt to the NFL after three years and not have to sink all their time in anything other than football.

ND still recruits more 4 stars than anyone I believe and Freeman has recruited more top 100 guys.
