no longer the case. DBs? Seem to be in pretty good shape. The challenge now seems to be at the WR position. Well, ND was in the running for a number of WRs that went to USC last year, so it's not as if that sort of talent doesn't want to come to ND.
I actually think the biggest issue with ND right now is the OL. A few first round draft choices, notwithstanding, I think NDs OL has been pretty weak since Davie's days. What's odd about the OL is ND routinely has one of the best OL classes based on recruiting rankings. That is why I'll continue to say there is something in the scheme that is limiting the potential of the OL.
