whether he can take a program to the highest echelon, he must be able to recruit the 5 star QB's. Coaching only takes you so far.
Kelly is a pretty good coach, but he hasn't recruited any of these QB's to date, and he has eschewed going after 5 stars in general (at least until his recent epiphany in December).
Next year's inc class has a QB with an outside chance of being a truly elite QB. If Kelly can't bring in more 5 stars, we are wasting our time. ND's name alone is bringing in what we have (and perhaps Kelly is detracting from that too).
