Stanford had 4 just last year. Plus 1 in '16, 1 in '14.

You're not wrong, but that doesn't mean that we only got 1 in the last 5 years because we could only offer that one. Not even close.


I look at Ben Davis from AL as an example.

Autry Denson worked really hard to get Davis. He was a 5 Star LB (#10 overall player in the 2016 class).

He is from Alabama and his dad is a former AL player. I don’t remember all of the schools involved, but both ND and AL were involved. Of course Davis announced on Signing Day that he was going to AL. Davis redshirted in 2016. I am not sure how much he played this past season.

This was a kid that ND spent a lot of time recruiting. Unfortunately, I just don’t see Kelly ever winning battles against Saban.

There is plenty of talent at ND. However, if you don’t have the top 40 difference making players, the coaching staff has to be top notch. I think we know where Kelly ranks with other coaches in this regard.
