I guess I would buy it if you saw rampant star raising once a kid committed to ND or a ND was a clear leader or finalist for a kid. But is that really the case?

Take Wimbush. He was considered a 4 star recruit long before ND got his commitment. He was a high 4 star well before he even committed to PSU.

Could he be a bust? Sure. It happens, even at places like Bama and FSU and USC. Or, if we are seeing a lot of highly recruited kids struggle here, is this a coaching issue?

I have never bought the theory that ND just happens to be unlucky and land the highest percentage of soft or overranked kids that had offers from other major programs.

Recruiting issues is likely the largest reason why we aren't in the playoffs every year. Coaching issues are why this roster averages around 8 wins a season.
