This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

most of the time I agree with you by quasimodo

But not all of this one.

Denson's recruiting was not too good although he did help recruit his geo. area well. As of now, we have what 4-5 RB of which none are 4*. Ouch. Still some of that was because of 2 4* getting kicked out and one high 4* from Indy not getting admitted (he was good enough to play at USC this year) despite being committed for about a year. But I will agree, we now have some grab bagging going on in the Rb position because of his misses.

But on the field, his crew did excellent which indicates his coaching was pretty good. CJ was a converted safety/Slot receiver who turned into a breakaway 1000 yard rusher and a 3rd round NFL pick. Adams came in as questionable due to an ACL injury in H.S. causing him to miss a lot of time. I don't recall his stars but believe he was not a consensus 4*. He hit it out of the park in his 3 years at ND setting a frosh record and 2 other 1000 Yrd season (IIRC). Entering this year, we had our "best" guy with less that 600 yards total and he was suspended the first 4 games of the year. He almost got his 1000 yards rushing this year with over a 6 YPC average.

The capper in this is that we set the all time YPC in 2017 (yeah the line was great which was a big part of it) and all without a fumble by a RB in what all 3 years?

His guys might not have liked him and his recruiting suffered perhaps because of his personal style but they did perform on the field.
