In reply to: How many 5 star players are there? How many 3 star? * posted by ndroman21

The poster is implying that 5-star players are more likely than other players to say no to ND due to (1) climate, and (2) coursework. I don't buy that.

Now, 5-star players have a lot more options than 3-star players, and some of those options may be viewed as being better than ND. But I don't think it has much to do with climate & coursework; rather, it's more about the opportunity to win big at a program that also puts loads of players into the NFL. ND hasn't done that consistently over the past 5-10 years (at least not as consistently as Bama, Clemson, Ohio State, etc.).
