They have less top players during that timeframe than ND.....24 versus 35......
This should seriously temper the idea that ND can't recruit top players.....and that we do a decent job of developing them....the #10 ranking is commensurate with where we wind up too...
Alabama, OSU and Clemson are just in another league...and this data shows why it is easy for them to recruit.....they turn 4 and 5 star recruits into NFL players....top NFL players
