Guys,
With the addition of the 2008 recruiting class, ND will finally achieve depth unseen in South Bend in many years. We will no longer have to move bodies around just to create depth. This is much bigger than some people believe. With depth, you create competition, you sustain thru a long tough season and give more realistic practice looks.
On offense, we will finally have quality depth at every skill position. We will have atleast a half dozen WR's who put fear in a D, we have 4 RB's who could start anywhere, 3 QB's who have major college talent, 3 TE's who can catch or block and on the OL we have two deep 4 star talent at every single position. Imagine, this year CW should not have to address who will replace a starting guard or tackle if one gets hurt. We have a real live back up and not one who is playing C, G and Tackle. We even have back up QB's who have played a more than scout team. We can absorb a RB injury when it comes.
On defense, we still are slightly thin up front, but it is getting better. At safeties and CB's we are solid and deep. We have kids who can run and hit. At OLB, we are forming scary depth. We have youthful players who play with passion and experienced players who will only get better. At ILB, we are still a bit thin, but improving quickly. We have kids who got a year to mature and grow in 2007 that will contribute in 2008. On DL, we have several kids ready to blossom in 2008.
Overall, it must be exciting for CW to have a full roster of scholarship kids in 2008. I bet he is sleeping just a little better. GO IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
