UHND.com - Notre Dame Football, Basketball, & Recruiting

an average recruiter. What I mean by this is, he can recognize talent which a lot of recruiters can't do, they're just good at double speak in the homes.
Kelly has found underrated talent and given them a place at ND.

Unfortunately it's what he does with big time talent.

What is painfully obvious is, he doesn't know what to do with the talent when they don't shine immediately. He's tethered to, if you're great in practice
and meet a certain metric, you're the one who should be on the field at game time. Meanwhile the bigger talent with a higher ceiling is left with little
to do and he appears never to go back and work or give opportunities to that still developing, albeit at a slower pace, talent, often times (all the time)
working on what is good in their talent trying to change it to something else instead of nurturing what's available. - eg PJ.

I watched the Mets take John Olerud a batter who was flirting with a .400 batting avg. knock it down to a less than.300 avg trying to correct his swing. That is
Kelly in a nutshell when it comes to developing good talent that moves along a little slower than expected.
