But it’s easier to complain than look at actual facts
Sounds good but umm since 2016 Graduation rates at those schools are...
I like that combo alot but imagine Watts and Downs....that would've been historic! The combo of Ransom and Downs is probably a 3rd and 1st Rd combo as well
Nor will it be a Top 8 class as it should be for a school like ND annually. I would hope we wouldnt be comparing class success against the likes of Northwestern, Kansas and BC😔😔
Lol, I was making reference to that #50-60 class. I believe bare minimum at this program should be #10-12 range and thats after a few top 5-6 classes.
I mean the historic College Football program in the land in itself should get you in the Top 15
Well, you're in luck then because ND is #9 in team talent (and like 2 points off #7) in 2024. 2024 College Football Team Talent Composite
Interesting ND is outperforming their composite rankings despite the following:
It's almost as though, when it comes to winning football games, developing college football players across multiple years is more important than the sheer accumulation of talent as measured by a number that recruiting services assign to high school kids.
According to 247--
No. It's inevitable they'll get passed with no other commits.
Yea, I saw that but gettinh into that top 5 is where the big difference is but ppl still say the academuc standards prevent that, being in that 2nd tier (7-11) is ok but you have to wait on a favorable schedule and a little luck to really gave a legit chance.
And yet our average is closer to Georgia's than to Duke's...
It’s really just the same 3-4 dudes in their own little echo chamber.
It’s all about expectations. There is a crowd that wants to be better and isnt content with doing as good as last year. There is the crowd content with 10-11 wins and hoping to win a big bowl game with a potential shot at losing to one of the top 5 teams in the country. Then there is the moral crowd that wants all players to speak French and go to mass daily.
I'm okay with a negative post. It's when you keep echoing the same thing to every post that doesn't agree with your stance.
Let's call it the "Koon Complex"
What about the crowd that looks at the entirety of the program and not just hang their hopes on what HS kids will be joining the team next season. The combination of HS recruiting, portal recruiting, and player development is better today than it has been since Lou.
I do. And we've been ~12th in portal last two years based on player average too. Talent accusation isn't where it needs to be, recruiting or portal, and most others are taking it up another notch.
Well what should we be accusing them of then?!
Agreed, although portal recruiting has only been around for what, Kelly and Freeman.
