inconsistent and mediocre.

Looking at the non-freshman recruiting classes for kids recruited at WR over the last 4 years:

2019: Kendull Rahman and Cam Hart. Neither guy is currently playing receiver.

2018: Kevin Austin, Braden Lenzy, Lawrence Keys, Micah Jones. The two more highly recruited guys pursued by other big programs were out last week.

2017: Jafar Armstrong, Michael Young. One has been moved to rb and the other transferred.

Yes, there are guys like Wilkins and Davis who were moved from other positions to wide receiver, but there just isn't much talent here. Even Austin and Lenzy have a combined 16 career receptions and people are acting like them returning will fix everything.

I heard Sampson mention somewhere that he talked to Clark Lea this offseason. Lea noted he had a conversation with Tony Alford; Lea asked Alford what the biggest difference was between ND and OSU. Alford didn't hesitate and said that the priority given to recruiting was night and day. Meyer was very hands on and would be in his office almost daily asking about prospects, communication, etc.
