The last 2 classes alone have (4) 4* recruits- Mills, Fosky, Nana, Cross. 247 Linked below.
In fact, in the same 2 classes, ND has signed only 1 3* DE, with Ehrensberger. So, 4 out of the last 5 DE signees were 4 star. Per 247 Sports.

But yes, the staff only takes 3 star defensive ends, because its easier.

To be clear: Nobody is saying the recruiting is remotely good enough. Top 15 classes, top 15 program. But lazily exaggerating everything over and over certainly doesn't help the conversation. I suggest anyone inclined to listen to Mike Frank's Power Hour this week. It was dedicated entirely to the '21 recruiting. Very honest and level-headed. Typical of Mike Frank and his guys.

"4 star" is a broad designation. - MrE 2020-07-01 17:03:49
- But that doesn't make a 4-star a 3-star - ribs 2020-07-01 17:14:37
  - Correct - MrE 2020-07-01 17:19:57
    - Then why cite it and judge the staff based on 3* vs. 4*? - ribs 2020-07-01 17:28:17
      - The star system is a feel-good marketing tactic. - MrE 2020-07-02 12:19:31
