Last year we had 2 signings in the Top 150 prospects in the COMPLETED CLASS.
This year we already have 5 and the season hasn't even started. That's a good feeling.
And when was the last time we had an elite receiver sign with us? Talking Top 50 talent...
Michael Floyd in 2008..14th nationally
Duvall Kamara in 2007...31st nationally (ouch)
Rhema McKnight in 2002... 43rd nationally

The link is just for 247, but he also had a 4 star rating on Rivals as well.

He was a 3* for a long while during the recruiting process. He originally committed to PSU and was a 3* then and when he decommitted and committed to ND.
He earned the higher rating basically after the post season all star games
Thanks for the refresher. I had forgotten that he snagged that 4th star later on in the cycle.

Obviously Kelly and staff can train players. But I would rather have 4 and 5 star players year in and year out then a 3 star every 5 years that plays up. That's all I'm saying
Miles Boykin was 4-star top WR in IL and I believe top 150 if not close.
Claypool was a 4-star WR, yea athlete on some boards...WR on most
Been plenty of WRs come thru under Kelly...
He just isn't goood at featuring more than one at a time.
ESB.... still wasn't top 50
neither was Boykin.
I'm just saying... A legit freshman 5 star threat. Been too long
Your obsession with top 50 is silly since the number is so inaccurate and arbitrary.
ESB was elite also, but he had Brandon Wimbush throwing the ball to him.
You wrongly focus on our receivers when the problem was our QB.
Austin will become a fixture this year.
If Austin becomes a fixture, I'll apologize.
And remember we were in a hunt for a NC last year. Right or wrong, Kelly wasn’t going to take chances with Freshmen.
But sure, we need more 5 star talent at WR, RB and QB. That much is clear.

Not top 50, but top 100 is impressive. ND signed four 4* WRs in the class of 2018.

for Kelly. If you believe his plan to coach for about 5 more years.
