on rivals, there's a good article about ND's recruiting weekend.

Β 

Most of it is news that has already come out.

Β 

Joyner apparently liked his ND visit more than OSU's, but OSU is still the team to beat like most think.

Β 

Prater is officially visiting for the UConn game and its rumored his parents want him close to home, so they can watch him play.

Β 

Cooper & Nix may be close to switching their committments to ND.

Β 

Rumored that Henderson has ND jumped in the top 3 with OSU & USC.

Β 

ND moved up with Linder (Miami/ND battle) & Stone as well.

Β 

We're on the outside looking in for the 2 RBs (James & Bernard) and the 3 DBs (Riggs, Riley, & Shaw)

I was wondering how long it would take someone to mention this. Hopefully we can pull a Manti Teo with Henderson and Prater by years end. Thanks ziggy

prater would be an incredible get, he could start as a freshman. can you imagine trying to defend floyd, tate, and prater?

Β 

henderson would be an incredible get too, if he can get his scores up.

This may sound ridiculous, but getting Prater may help Clausen if he's torn between leaving or staying.

Β 

That offense, with another year of Verducci coaching up the line -- good lord. That would be incredible.

Β 

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

No question this group here is an impact group and I'm sure we would all love to have these guys. If you had to choose only 1, who would it be?

Β 

Thinking strictly from a needs basis, I'd say it would either be Shaw / Riley.

Β 

It would be great to have an impact CB like Joyner or WR like Prater, but with this class based on who we have so far, I think we need an impact S the most.

Β 

Maybe for me it's that I mentally have Henderson going elsewhere and I think we have a decent shot at James (who would also be a great addition as an OT), and given our luck at WR and RB the past few years, it will be easier on us if we miss there than at S or OT.

never underestimate the importance and presence of a dominant safety. man have we been exposed this year.......................

OT's for sure. we've recruited soem pretty solid OG's in the last few years. We need OT's more than anything.

Β 

After that it might be Prater. I don't know how you can under estimate the impact of a STUD WR after seeing Tate/Floyd/Samardzija. Especially Floyd. I don't think anyone can stop him and that makes a good offense unstoppable.

What sucks is the number of good receivers we've recruited, yet they just don't see to have the same impact as Floyd or Tate. I mean, what about Walker? That kid should be good. Where the hell did George West go? I'm surprised that our receivers aren't better.

Β 

we have the best receiving tandem in the country and you're surprised our WR's aren't better? Walker is a redshirt freshman. West was not highly touted, ane he's small so he's been injury prone. Shaq has played well for a freshman and gotten on the field.

Β 

Duval has done solid work this year coming back from his knee injury, but I guess he's the one you could be disapointed in so far, but he's not done.

Β 

Tate hardly saw the field his first year. Count this as goodman's first year (didn't play because of their redshirt) and both goodman and evans have played more in their "first" year that tate did.

Β 

Plus, how can you expect WRs to get a lot of looks and PT when you have Floyd, Tate, and Rudolph?

Β 

People get frustrated and saw Weis can't "develop" players then they get mad they don't see action third first two years. Developing players takes time, like Parris playing this year. Im my dream world a Fresh or Soph would NEVER see the field

Β 

Look at USC, they have got a lot of highley rated kids too and their best WR is still a transfer.

Β 

Someone is going to step up and take the #3 WR spot, I just have no idea who it will be right now.

Very good points Synoptico.

Not really sure who has ever questioned CW's development of the offensive skill position players... It's always been the same offensive line/defensive line when it comes to the under-development of players...

Okay.

Β 

Well to answer the orginal question, there aren't that many Tate's and Floyd's out there, if any. To have them both together is an anomoly and a priveledge. Walker will be serviceable eventually but the two you mention are freaks of nature. They're not a good tandem to compare lack of progress to.
