June 19, 20213 yr Awesome get! This is how it seemed Alabama and to some degree Clemson built up their programs. Started with elite defense I’ve recruiting followed by slowly getting the offensive blue chips. Now if this philosophy still work is the question. But I like what has been happening on that side of the ball.
June 19, 20213 yr Thank you Brian Polian and Manti Teo. Teo keeps on paying dividends. You see the number Jr. wears, he wears it on purpose.

Interesting perspective. I have seen more and more Pacific Islanders joining the team in recent years. USC was eating them all up under Carroll, good to see ND grabbing this population. The islands create some great defenders.

How he complimented the spiritual and academic culture. Manti, CW, and POLIAN really moved ND forward with recruiting and Kelly kept it going but lately he's trying to turn it up.
