As correctly mentioned in a previous post, Rivals.com doesn't name the National Champion, but recruiting this level of talent is an essential piece to a championship caliber program. [/ QUOTE ] That's what made Boise State so great last year! Oh, er, I meant, keeping their recruits past their freshman/sophomore years is what made them so great

Re: The state of Notre Dame football.
[ QUOTE ]
Irish fans don't have much to cheer about lately, especially with the sub-anemic effort the team displayed against USC. But we finally did get some good news because 5 star uber reciever Michael Floyd from Minniapolis, St Paul committed to the Irish over the weekend. This brings brings an absolutely stacked class, currently ranked #1 in the nation, up to 20 recruits. I haven't given CW much credit for anything this season, but he certainly deserves kudos for holding together this amazing class despite the dismal season. Another WR and a couple more OLs and this could shape up to be the highest rated class in Irish history. As correctly mentioned in a previous post, Rivals.com doesn't name the National Champion, but recruiting this level of talent is an essential piece to a championship caliber program. [/ QUOTE ] Now if they could just get a coach that could actually develop and coach the kids... b

We'll know a lot more about Weis's capabilities next year. With 3 full classes of his guys, he won't enjoy the same level patience with Irish fans as he has this season. BTW, your boys are 2-5 right now...what's a) your opinion on TW, and b) is it any different from the prevailing mood of Husky fans? I have some interesting stats on TW's career performance during the 2nd half...reinforces my belief that he doesn't adjust well and loses close games (like OSU, ASU, and UCLA this year). Will post it in the PAC 10 thread.

Keeping recruits through Junior year isn't difficult at all if they see the field for an decent amount of time.
