Don't look now, but it appears ND has 6 (count 'em) DE's committed to this 2011 class, 3 of whom are 5-star prospects.

This is Kelly's, what, second class? I'd think the impact would be on offense, given his status as "offensive genius". But aside from the one 4-star QB in this class, and the #1 TE in the country, the offensive recruiting is... meh.
Do you mean to tell me that an offensive-minded head coach can recruit defense?!? I didn't think it was possible...
strangely Brad Carrico is also a DE prospect which would make 7 but they list Tony Springmann as a DE and I'm pretty sure he is OL prospect so it would be back at 6.
ReplyDeleteWe need DL and OL recruits like no other. I think in the next couple weeks we will see Michigan go after a few guys hard in those areas since Hoke puts such an emphasis on the front lines.
