Per ESPN llink Insider - Football Recruiting - ESPN, they currently have ND listed as 13th in the "recruiting wars". Of course this will change based on where the "uncommitted" decide to go. I don't get very wrapped up in the numbers game, but for 'shits and giggles' I do find it interesting on to see where teams do rank. Regardless if ND gets anyone else to come on board or not (Moore, Teo, etc.), it's apparent that they do have some real talent coming ....
"It's the recruiting battles won off the field that could eventually lead to wins on the field. Maybe it's a sign of good things for Notre Dame that it was able to lure WR Shaquelle Evans away from USC; he is a difference-maker. He's big and fast and a threat not only as a receiver, but in the return game. The Irish have a strong and deep class that includes top recruits on both sides of the ball, including three more top-five positional prospects: ATH Cierre Wood (Oxnard, Calif./Santa Clara), DT Tyler Stockton (Princeton, N.J./The Hun School) and OG Chris Watt (Glen Ellyn, Ill./Glenbard West). Stockton, the No. 3 DT, is an important player in this class. He lacks ideal size, but is extremely quick off the ball and good against the run and the pass. He'll help the Notre Dame defense, as will safety Zeke Motta (Vero Beach, Fla.)."
