This is a long article, but it's well worth your time. Arguably the biggest scandal in sports.

Bill Connelly recently posted an article ranking CFB WRs. He was kind enough to share his data as well, so I took the liberty of pulling out ND's WRs and creating a separate spread sheet. The first eight categories should be self-explanatory. For the last four categories: Passing S&P+ is...

I recently came across keelio's wall, and thought it should be shared with the community: How did keelio respond to such constructive criticism from two of our most outstanding members? By neg repping a ton of their posts. You got neg repped for posting stupid sh!t, keelio. You won't last...

Her Loyal Sons' NDTex examines ND's new power running game here, and One Foot Down's burger23 discusses the evolution of Kelly's offense (through 2011) here.

Article by Darren Rovell (ugh) can be found here.

Our very own Rocket89 examines ND's turnovers and penalties from an historical perspective.

National Football Post is a great source for draft scouting reports and in-depth football strategy. Feel free to post relevant NFP articles in this thread. Wes Bunting breaks down Cierre's draft stock here. (This has already been posted in Cierre's profile, but it's NFP so sharing here as well)...

This preview is probably the best one you'll read all off-season. Some choice snippets:

Payscale released a new College ROI ranking for 2012, which I used to generate an updated Football ROI. 2012 GSR data won't be released until sometime this summer, so I'll be updating again in the near future. An excellent explanation of the methodology behind Payscale's ranking can be found...

Some of our members have expressed bewilderment, fear, and even anger regarding Twitter. Thus, in order for everyone to better understand this increasingly crucial social medium for CFB recruiting, I submit the following primer. Knowledge is power.

It's looking more likely that we'll end the 2012 class by taking Standifer and maybe one more mystery recruit, which would allow us to take 6-7 5Ys for 2012. Most of us assumed that we'd only take 3-4 until recently, so I figured this subject probably deserves more serious consideration now. We...

There's been some discussion recently of our WR depth chart, how frequently TJ Jones was targeted, etc. so I put together a spreadsheet that should allow us to discuss this subject a little more intelligently. Bill Connelly of SBNation/ Football Outsiders has compiled all of the "Target &...

College Football Recruiting: A Primer for the Lay Person There's a lot of truth in it, and it made me laugh a few times. Figured the board could use a pleasant distraction today.

Do we have a good feel for who will EE this cycle? Of our current verbals, Shepard and Day are coming early; who else? How about the prospects we have a good shot at (Kiel, Odengibo, etc.)? We can take a maximum of 6, and our most pressing needs appear to be Dog OLB and DB. Who would you most...

As most of you are aware, I'm a huge proponent of Businessweek's 30y ROI ranking for undergrad programs. As a recruiting tool, it has the potential to clearly demonstrate the superior value of a Notre Dame degree compared to virtually every other school we recruit against. The last step of...

We lose Smith, Blanton, and Gray. Motta has disappointed thus far, but still seems to be playing at least as much as Slaughter, who's performed very well. Toss in some very talented freshman, and our 2012 secondary appears very unsettled. Who makes the two-deep and why? Be sure to include the...

Fleming and Filer are gone after this season, leaving Ishaq as the only obvious Cat OLB for 2012 and beyond. Shembo and Spond are currently at OLB, but neither really fits the profile; I think Kelly would much rather move them both inside, but he can't until he's got more experience on the...
