Crist, Floyd, Rudolph and Jonas Gray were all in that class. I would say Floyd and Rudolph have met or exceeded their lofty rankings and Crist will by the time he leaves. I'm sure you don't know this, but he has started 4 games in his career. Weis didn't recruit defensive players like he did offensive players and its pretty apparent for anyone who has actually paid attention. It is obvious that you are one of the guys who watches nothing but OSU games and doesn't have a clue about the rest of college football, yet still comes on here and speaks as if you do. How many of Notre Dame's games have you watched this year? How many did you watch last year? How can you draw any conclusions on improvements/lack there of if you don't watch?
I have went over before about the superfluous top ten ranking of classes so I will not go over that again here. Why does Notre Dame not have top ten recruiting classes? You mentioned sarcastically that it is not their academic standards. I have posted Notre Dames academic acceptance standards here and it is precisly why they do not have top ten recruiting classes any longer.
I have watched them play Michigan Michigan St and Stanford. Last year I watched about 5 games. I think you might have me confused with someone who dislikes Notre Dame with your blanket statement about watching them play and only watching Ohio St.
I am able to draw conclusions because I do watch, and Notre Dames talent level is not on the elite level any longer, and will never be until they lighten up on who is allowed to play on the team.
