So about that 2020 WR recruiting class ;

Xavier Watts, Jan Brunelle, Jordan Johnson - have combined for 4 catches (Zero in FBS) in 3 years (all by Brunelle at Yale)

Coming off a zero WR class in 2019, 1 max if you count Cam Hart

Hey at least Hart and Watts turned into pretty good DBs.

Outside of the 2021 WR class, Del's classes were awful, from both a quality of the talent and the numbers. Don't think a single WR that signed with ND during his time at ND has played in the NFL. As much as people criticized Quinn and criticize Rees - and criticism was/is very much warranted, Del was easily the worst hire from BK post 2016. Lea wasn't a very good recruiter, but he could at least coach a good defense.

I'm from MA and Brunelle never should've been a ND level recruit. Eamonn Dennis, who was his teammate and is now at Michigan, was a much better player in HS even though he hasn't panned out.

No coach in my life as a ND fan has made me think I was taking crazy pills as much as Del did every day he still had a job.

I recall everyone giving Chip Long a big hand in nabbing those recruits too. Pete Sampson in particular was hammering that it was Long who was a primary guy in the Jordan Johnson recruitment.

Thank goodness the evaluations look to be better now.

Good call. Add him to the list, although my gripes with him were pretty much with the play-calling. I looked up his 247 profile and he was the primary recruiter for Mayer, Tyree, Tremble, and while at ASU, N'Keal Harry, so he could evaluate talent a little bit.

Wasn't the story with his departure that there would've been a mutiny in the locker room if he stayed for the 2020 season?

That is horrible by Del...smdh

Cornelius Johnson was a 2019 recruit who had high interest in Notre Dame, but as we know ended up at Michigan. I may be remembering this incorrectly, but once ND accepted Cam Hart's commitment didn't Del and company advise Johnson that they could no longer take him? If that is accurate what a disgrace by the coaching staff.

That would be malpractice. Though I thought Johnson’s parents are Michigan alums as well?

We were certainly in the mix. But he may well have wound up maize and blue no matter what w did.

How can valuations be THAT wrong across the board? Insane.

Everyone evaluated his film... nobody was able to evaluate his day-to-day motivation, and probably got "padded" feedback from his high school coaches in that regard.

That’s an absolute disaster on many levels. Kelly was a great coach but he struggled with roster management and recruiting

Ok let me make sure I'm reading this correct... half season highlights and its 1 pass play with busted coverage? Am I missing something

Ok, makes sense..I assumed the link was to the highlights which were the 1 catch... guess he doesn't do links to highlights like normal

How's he playing JUCO? This is like year 7 for him

It’s starting to feel like it, but he was a ‘20 class recruit.

20 was the COVID year, and he redshirted with UCF in ‘21. Technically, he’s a redshirt sophomore this year. Two more seasons of eligibility remaining

JUCO in his third year in college. Let me guess, he picked ND our of high school due to academics?

Throw in the fact that the 21 class has one healthy WR on the roster, and the '22 class has one wr on the roster, perhaps there are other reasons the offense isn't flowing at the moment.
