ND has not had a 1K receiver in 6 consecutive seasons
Last one was Claypool in 2019
Prior to that, Fuller, Floyd, Samardzija routinely had 1K+ years. From 2008-2015, the Irish had a 1K+ WR in 7 out of 8 years
Now, they are lucky to have a WR with over 600 yards in a season. The Athletes they are recruiting and brining in as pass catchers have been absolutely awful under freeman.
If they want to win a natty in the next 2 years, with Carr as QB...they need to get much better on the outside.
Kevin Austin, Beaux Collins, Chris Tyree, Greathouse, Faison....these guy would not even be getting snaps in games at Ohio State, Texas, Bama, Georgia, etc.
Ohio State has two 5 Star Freshman as their #4 and #5 WRs. They would not swap a single WR on their team for anything ND trots out there. Faison is a walk-on 1 star WR. Greathouse would struggle to start on most MAC teams. Field and Pauling are bottom tier WRs from hilariously bad programs that no one else wanted.
