But his hit rate on those players has been so absurdly small for so many years now it's clear he never has prioritized it like he should have years ago. For ten years now, they are late build relationships, lack aggressive and proven recruiters with a history of landing top talent and have a seemingly disorganized operation. I read all the time on the rivals and 247 boards about how ND hasn't been in contact with, or pursued, or fought for top players they offer early. It just makes no sense unless you don't think it's an issue-which it clearly has been now for years.
