 I think I did the pinning thing right. We usually pin two classes at a time, @Big23Head let me know if that looks right or you'd like it different. Thanks for all your work on this!! Go Irish!

Next DL?

Good call Big. Vernon just committed. 

 

We made the top 7 for QB Malachi Nelson but I think our chances are slim to none.

He is projected to go to OU.  Their qb recruiting has been amazing lately.  Rattler, Williams, and now potentially Nelson.

Why do you think that QBs want to go to Oklahoma instead of ND? Is it the actual scheme, the coaching (i.e. QB development), or their WRs?

Past success and Lincoln Riley track record with QBs.

Is that success due to QB coaching, offensive scheme, or WR talent?

I am trying to figure what ND is missing compared to other programs. Other schools in the NC picture seem to repeatedly turn out great QBs while Kelly has only had a 2nd round and 4th round in 11 years.

Success brings success. Why does bama win, because they get the best players, because they win.

Oklahoma should also be asking about what we are doing defensively that they aren't

Which schools are those? I don't see a pattern emerging.

Honestly, it takes one good QB to get things rolling. If Buchner adds some flare and elite QB to ND then that will bring in another top QB. 

I thought I read that ND has been late to recruit QBs the past few years.  If that's true, jumping in late puts them behind from the beginning.  I would really like to see the staff do better with evaluating their QB prospects earlier and starting the process much sooner.  It would be preferable to lock in your QB recruit early as one of your 1st commits so they can be the player recruiters/leaders that they typically are.
