a 3-star OL. And lost their stud WR commit (#66 overall).

So they've actually gone BACKWARD in recruiting on the offensive side of the ball since October. That's virtually impossible to do.

The problem is that ND was never a serious leader for any of the top recruits in the country when Covid hit in March. None of the top TEs, WRs, OL were likely to land at ND. Not Will Shipley, the only RB prospect Lance Taylor bothered to recruit.

Same on the defensive side. Elston landed two lower-rated DEs and then rushed to offer a stud DE (Dallas Turner) only after one of committed DEs was likely to decommit. Fat and happy on 2 projects. No effort to sign a second DT.

LB, CB, S - ND was not a serious leader or even contender for any of the top prospects.
