With the departure of Adams--3 of the top 4 returning RB's have either been arrested/or suspended at one time while at ND.

Most all of them had trouble staying healthy last year.

There is some talent there--but were any of these guys considered Top 5 RB's coming out of HS? Top 10 even? Top 15? Look at what the top 5 programs sign at RB

ND has one potential game breaker in Dexter Williams-- and he can't seem to get more than 2-3 carries in Kelly's offense because he can't/wont block.
Solution: give him the damned ball.

I was disappointed in ND's RB recruiting with this just signed 2018 class. Smith is a solid get--3 star #32 ranked RB on Rivals/247.

But is that really good enough if ND if aspires to be a top program?
