As I've said numerous times, ND's recruits are almost always overrated by the services, and this group is no exception. Most have performed below their so-called ratings. None of the guys you listed on offense as four star players has shown that level of production. Is Wimbush a four star QB? Is Mack a four-star TE? Not even close.

On defense, only Tranquill, Coney and Love are playing to the level of their ranking. The rest are either underachievers or were overrated from the beginning.
