Many ND fans are up in arms over this offer, and I can see why, considering his ranking. But let's loot at this from BK's perspective. First, we just lost Parker. And we've lost out already on Amerson and Carrrington. That leaves Riley and Cooper on the board, and neither guy is considered a lock. So we're think at safety. Second, look at this quote from Kelly:

"I want our players to be tough gentlemen...I gotta lot of respect for analyst out there, relative to stars,and the recruiting and the tom lemmings and the rivals and the scouts, but I'm going to recruit guys that I believe that fit what we are going to do here at ND, I want guys who love to play the game. At the end of the day I want to be surrounded by guys who love to play football... we are going to miss on some guys, if they are just looking at ND as a stepping stone to the NFL, then we are going to miss on some guys..."

So BK might be looking at film on our current recruits and not seeing what HE looks for in a football player. And he might have looked at Collinsworth's film and saw something that the recruiting 'gurus' didn't see.
As much as I'd like to bitch about the way Kelly's recruiting is going after ONE week, I'm going to sit back and trust the guy who's been a winner everywhere he's been. And hopefully our trust will be rewarded...
