I think we are too easy on ourselves on that one. We are losing a lot of these battles, straight up losing them. If you look at the top 20 from all states that even touch Indiana, ND has 1 of the top 20 from these states. Do you really believe that none of these guys are qualifiers? I was at ND during the early 90s (when they purported to tighten things a bit), and I certainly don't remember classes being full of Rhodes Scholars (...not that I was either). I think the Admin at ND hides a bit behind "we're special, we're a private school" to be satisfied with being a bridesmaid, and I think we (fans) make it pretty easy on them by excusing away recruiting based on academics.
