mwinely Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Thanks for the article - that is an interesting read. Yes - things have definitely changed in Illinois. And to second that thought - ND finishing 40th in recruiting should not have happened. It is not fathomable how ND under Ty would have done so poorly with recruiting. Luckily - i don't ever foresee that again. Thanks CW and CB!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double_Domer Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 If ND get pull in a 40th ranked recruiting class with no recruiting, then w/ some real recruiting ND should be in the top 3 each year. Thanks CW and CB for making it happen year in and year out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks CW and CB for making it happen year in and year out. Do not expect top 3 every year... Top 3 will be the exception not the rule. Now top 10 should be the minimum.

USC sure doesn't think like that. And they have a string of 5 top threes to prove it. No reason why we can't do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I don't count their first NC sharing with LSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USC sure doesn't think like that. And they have a string of 5 top threes to prove it. No reason why we can't do the same. Sc also does not graduate players and has alot of players leave early (academics/NFL) allowing them to take more recruits. SC does not have the same academic standards or character limitations that ND has. Finally, SC is surrounded by all kinds of talent and has TOS fawning over them to the point that SC 4th choice at QB becomes a 5* overnight and passes the 2nd and 3rd choices. Why ND will have problems is the fact that other schools especially the SEC bring in 25+ player classes regularly because of the number of non-qualifiers and players kicked out early. The only way to overcome that would be to bring in almost equal number 5* and 4* players like SC did last year. That being said, we do not need to be top 3 every year. As long as we are top 10 every year, we can be a consistant NC contender. Lets not forget, the NE patriots are not stacked with the 5* NFL players, rather they develop their players and put them in positions to win.

Double_Domer Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 i never could get through the windmill with a golf ball andf putter and yet you could still recruit better than Ty... By the way - I don't measure our recruiting class rank by the numbers put on them by the sites, but rather are we getting all of the guys CW and CB are targeting - this will be a top 3 class IMO with what we have landed and are expected to get from here on out...

el senor domer Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Do not expect top 3 every year... Top 3 will be the exception not the rule. Now top 10 should be the minimum. I WANT TOP 3 OR AT LEAST TOP 5 EVERY YEAR!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imroc Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/ncaa/07/13/rivals.ferentz/index.html/ I haven't read the article yet. But the title seems to lack full truth. Iowa has perennially failed to live up to expectations and people are seeing right through it now. Illinois rise? When did this happen?
