Who is Likely Next (2013)

[NDhoosier]

The position that I am worried about is WR, doesnt seem like we are in good standing with any big names... How do we fare with treadwell, quick, and fulwood? It just seems as though there is no news on the WR front, the only recent news seems to be Foster eliminating us from his top schools...

As for CBs, I think three would be enough, especially if we get 3 CBs, Ryan Green, and Ezekiel Elliot... that will allow the staff to use Ezekiel how they want to...

And, more importantly, would confirm the theory that what happened with the '12 recruiting class was an aberration and not the staff's fault in any way, shape, or form - sans maybe a certain MD recruit- MAYBE.

(disclaimer - IMO, I believe it was an aberration)

Last years class is actually still pretty impressive. We have a different outlook knowing the full potential it had.

there is no doubting that ND needs 4 or 5 CB's in this class. They wanted 3 CB's in the 2012 recruiting class and got none and it's the norm to take at the very least 1 in every class but it's really more like 2 every year.

The CB depth is thin as is so IMO they need 5 CB in this class.

Last years class is still quite good but what it's missing is that game changing type talent that ND needs to take the next step.

They got Kiel but they need that kin of talent at WR, CB, S, LB.

I think taking 5 of any one position is never a good idea in recruiting. There are already 5 CB's on the roster for this year and next...and another could be added this summer. Taking the amount you suggest would not only give the team too many overall at one position (there isn't a need for 10-11 CB's when you have an 85 total limit), but also creates another balance problem with numbers the staff will have to deal with in a few years. Not to mention that the year after that, how many kids are going to want to come to ND to play CB, knowing they took 5 at your position just the year before?

3 CB's is plenty for this year. Even 2 wouldn't be terrible.

I think that Davonte, Chris B., Ferguson, Baratti, Shumate, Prosise are a pretty good crop of wr's and safeties.
