"Weis followed by signing arguably the best on-paper Notre Dame recruiting class of the modern recruiting era (dating back to 1999), the loaded 2008 class.
Despite the horrendous 3-9 season, Weis signed more Top 100 recruits in 2008 (nine in total) than Brian Kelly has signed in his last two classes combined (seven in total). All but three of the 23 signees ranked four or five-stars (the 2008 class shown at the bottom of this review)."
