Let's not put too much hope on any one kid. We need to build the overall strength of recruiting, ie consistently getting 4 star recruits.

I must tell you that I find our recruiting the most disappointing aspect of what I've seen from Kelly. I thought he'd absolutely dominate in Indy and Chicago, but he hasn't. As a result, as it presently stands, we're casting a very wide net without a great base. It's great that we're getting kids from Hawaii, but how about we just own Chicago like LSU owns Louisiana. The result of our 'casting about' recruiting (more often than not) is that we're then the bridesmaid, not the bride. When I look at how a good USC program (as opposed to what's happening now) can start with a good, solid foundation from southern CA and build from there, or how UNC is getting great talent all from North Carolina, we're falling behind them.

Hell, we don't even recruit as well as Penn State, a school that was on the verge of the being shut down 7 years ago! Seriously, Penn State's success is 100% an indictment of ND.
