This is just a 30,000 view, obviously, but I think it does go to show that the idea that ND isn't getting enough talent to compete with the upper echelon teams is just silly. What Notre Dame needs to do is properly develop and coach these players. We need them to reach, or exceed, their perceived level of talent. We neede to make judicious use of redshirts. We need to make sure that players are sticking around for four years or more.

As I said in another post, I am going to be drilling down into these numbers but I wanted to put this up as one of the starting points of reference:
