Other than various sites making a buck off of us ND is no closer than when Kelly was here. Maybe even further behind. If Leonard does play this year Freeman goes into year 4 without a QB with experience. Last years WR recruiting class looked great when they signed. They leave and we get one year rentals. Morrison is a monster but most of the defense were Kelly's guys or transfers. The RB group is loaded but BK didn't have any trouble getting his share.The top 8 players this year are really good but then there is a big gap. If your not in the top 5 in recruiting year after year you have no chance at a National Championship. Luckily it's now a 12 team playoff but even 2 losses might not be good enough.
