criteria a prospective ND recruit must satisfy. The ND staff must evaluate how a recruit will fit in at ND and whether they are willing and able to do the extra work required to succeed in the classroom to get on the field.

academic foundation, core curriculum, support system, good citizen
can recruit less than 1/2 top 100 recruits.
