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.

LB/DB recruiting is a sore spot for an otherwise good effort by Hanratty5ND

1. Can any of you explain wtf ND is doing with their LB recruiting?

With the just signed 2019 class--ND took 4 LB's, none rated very high.
Position ranking by Rivals: 15,27,36,37. By 247: 14,19,21,28.
Overall ranking by 247: 212,366,416,464.

ND can't get a LB in the top 200?

And now we are told that the ND staff plans on taking zero LB's in 2020.
Was it because of the glut of talent they just signed in 2019?
I can assure you Clemson-Bama and OSU don't recruit like this.
ND has no proven starters at LB. None. No proven depth. And they pass on a chance to upgrade that unit in 2020. I don't get it.

2. DB recruiting is a major problem too. Loading up on 3 star CB's is not the answer.
It may be (past)time to put Todd Lyght on the Denson track.

It is a shame because ND is recruiting really well in most other areas.
But these areas will haunt us in the not too distant future. Tough to be elite with this effort.
