Defensive Recruiting: 2 Year Snapshot from Scout.com

by FunkDoctorSpock, Your Nightmares, B* tches, Saturday, February 04, 2012, 06:41 (5240 days ago)

It's been a long time since ND was in this kind of company on the defensive side of the ball. Now, if we can actually get those players to PRODUCE at that level, we'll be onto something. (NOTE: I will be doing the same thing with the results from Rivals.com). The recruiting balance, at least, under Kelly has been significantly better.

I've said it before but recruiting success, on paper, hasn't been Notre Dame's problem, at least not for awhile.
