In reply to: Mike Elston says ND can recruit "less than half"  posted by miamioh_irishfan

"Mike Elston estimates Notre Dame could recruit less than half of the Top 100 recruits in the country based on profile for program."


Based on profile for program.

Nick Saban would turn that to 85% overnight without asking for a single concession academically.

Alabama signed 10 of the top 50 for this class.

Unreal. ND would be thrilled with 5 top 100 players.

We eliminated Quinn Ewers because he wasn't a system fit. He has the grades and we could easily have recruited him.

Reality - we had no chance, so we didn't even try (even though North Texas did) and we "couldn't" recruit him.
