I went back and looked at our players rankings on Rivals from the '14 and '13 class and this is what was found:
Those who have already contributed meaningful minutes are bolded
Those who have earned playing time after the game has been decided, are italicized.
Let me know if I missed anyone.
I guess the ultimate statement to be made is: Win and everything else works out. The coaches are exceptional at finding talent and if given their pick of the litter, rarely miss on prospects. When they have to dig for the "diamonds in the rough" they are most likely in the upper echelon of coaches. Our top scoring tandem is a 3 star athlete QB who throws to a 3 star WR with blazing speed.
I'm anxious to get some big names in this class and I want to see '16 start off right but I did this to help reiterate the surprising success this staff has with identifying and developing talent.
Go Irish!
