Can someone educate me about board negativity regarding recruiting? - MarkHarman - 8:14am 5/20/23 (77) [View All]
- Looking at Rivals ND defensive recruiting for 2024 - MarkHarman - 9:55pm 5/21/23
  - How many in the top 350? - NDIrish1988 - 9:08am 5/22/23
    - Truthfully the ND board should be 40-50 offers throughout TOP 250 players, 8-10 offers to sleepers [NT] - Rocketman84 - 3:59pm 5/22/23
      - 8-10? - NDIrish1988 - 1:35pm 5/23/23
        Sleeper prospect meaning in the 350-475 range, offering 3 wouldn't be enough - Rocketman84 - 6:37pm 5/23/23
      - So the expectation is that we land 35-40% of everyone offered? I'm no expert here.. - Chrisb - 9:18am 5/23/23
        I feel "We Are ND" we set our standard and DEFINITELY land 25% of 80 offers, and add a few sleepers [NT] - Rocketman84 - 7:07pm 5/23/23
        
        It may seem pretty steep, but other programs are doing it now. - Rocketman84 - 7:00pm 5/23/23

- They also brought in more 4/5 star players than all but 2 teams. A balanced class between - tky21 - 11:15pm 5/20/23
  - Look at the Defense - NDIrish1988 - 9:55am 5/21/23
- Some dudes here would have howled when we offered Joe MontanA. [NT] - Curly1918 - 6:57pm 5/20/23
  - Montana was a PARADE AA (Not a diamond in the rough) but was a STUD in Basketball as well... - Rocketman84 - 7:18pm 5/20/23
  - that’s stupid - NDIrish1988 - 7:00pm 5/20/23
    - Do ppl think Montana was a 3* type of recruit?? He was a PARADE AA - Rocketman84 - 7:22pm 5/20/23
- It comes down to this, we hired a zero experience HC because he was supposed - Chrisb - 2:57pm 5/20/23
  - Sweet Jesus... You are a long winded know-nothing... [NT] - irishslovak - 1:36pm 5/21/23
    - More likely a 49yo well intellected individual without intellectual football knowledge who at times - Rocketman84 - 6:26pm 5/21/23
      - You figured it out too..... [NT] - irishslovak - 10:28am 5/22/23
        Its alot of miserable ppl out there who hide behind keyboards and this is the highlight of their day [NT] - Rocketman84 - 11:28am 5/22/23

  - Pretty well stated, especially #3 gotta see the production on the field to keep them coming. - Rocketman84 - 5:11pm 5/20/23
    - Isn’t a 5 star usually a top 30 player? It seems like Alabama, Georgia and OSU get about 15 to 20 - MuskyTommy - 6:07pm 5/20/23
      - Yes, top 35 most years but that's exactly the problem how 3-4 schools seems to get 90% of them! - Rocketman84 - 7:00pm 5/20/23
        According to 247 sports we have 2 with Carr and Williams. Keeping them and adding a couple more - MuskyTommy - 7:12pm 5/20/23
        Agreed, 3-4 a year should be very feasible at ND now lets just hold on to these guys and we'll see c [NT] - Rocketman84 - 7:24pm 5/20/23
      - So? - NDIrish1988 - 6:24pm 5/20/23
        Go away. Not talking to you. My post is about getting 5 stars not ND taking 3 stars. Now I know why - MuskyTommy - 6:58pm 5/20/23
    - Agree...one thing I think he's doing right now - Chrisb - 6:02pm 5/20/23
    - Just one… - NDIrish1988 - 5:35pm 5/20/23
      - Top 5 every 3 years and top 10 every year, should build the right mix of depth and top-end talent [NT] - Rocketman84 - 7:04pm 5/20/23
        every 3 yrs is a stretch - NDIrish1988 - 7:51pm 5/20/23
        Weis did it and it wasn't too long ago, I believe the restrictions are overblown to mask ineptitude - Rocketman84 - 8:06pm 5/20/23
        Weis was a buffoon...the sooner we forget him, the better [NT] - cubsfanin16 - 1:55pm 5/21/23
        I'd pay for a Top 10 offense right now, the buffoon to me is who wouldn't [NT] - Rocketman84 - 6:29pm 5/21/23
        Once Weis didn't have Quinn to bail him out, not his recruit, he went 3-9 and 16-21 overall, - cubsfanin16 - 6:41pm 5/21/23
        Interesting, the same Quinn who went 11-13 with 25TDs and 25Ints W/O Weis!! - Rocketman84 - 2:19am 5/26/23
  - Not good enough - NDIrish1988 - 3:40pm 5/20/23
- Scott CB’d to Miami - NDIrish1988 - 1:50pm 5/20/23
  - Need to see Sevillano in camp setting but his tape is good and 22 sacks in 11 games is GREEEAT! - Rocketman84 - 5:16pm 5/20/23
    - They’re not taking both - NDIrish1988 - 5:33pm 5/20/23
      - If that's the case then therein would lie the problem in strategy. - Rocketman84 - 7:13pm 5/20/23
  - Let's not get carried away. A single down year on defense isn't going to sink the program. - jabbadoody5 - 2:17pm 5/20/23

    - ^^^Very true in a sense, 3* wont win a thing as the focal point or basis - Rocketman84 - 8:19pm 5/20/23
- We need safeties and OL in this class. That's not going well so far. - jabbadoody5 - 12:54pm 5/20/23
  - OL will be fine - NDIrish1988 - 1:35pm 5/20/23
    - OL is always very good much like WISC, now make like 'Bama and tOSU and get speed at the skill pos - Rocketman84 - 5:29pm 5/20/23
    - Lambert has supposedly been a heavy lean for a long time. - jabbadoody5 - 1:58pm 5/20/23
      - We've heard the heavy lean story all too many times now and usually goes the other way somehow - Rocketman84 - 8:24pm 5/20/23

        Defense is DEFINITELY subpar but one of these 50yo old do nothing know it alls would disagree [NT] - Rocketman84 - 6:28pm 5/21/23
- Re: Can someone educate me about board negativity regarding recruiting? - NDIrish1988 - 11:16am 5/20/23
- Yes, look at the Defense - NDIrish1988 - 10:58am 5/20/23
  - What makes this even worse is that defense is supposed to be Freeman's "bread & butter" so to speak - IrishChristopher - 5:59pm 5/20/23

      - Two Omaha kids, oddly enough Rezac is under the radar while his teammate garners many looks - Rocketman84 - 8:34pm 5/20/23
        Rezac isn’t underrated - NDIrish1988 - 9:14pm 5/20/23
