That seems to be the ND staff's chosen mantra in recruiting. They want the Top Guys. And, so far, it looks like this strategy is working. Last year's haul is an obvious example.
This year, though, almost 1 in 4 recruits in the Rivals Top 100 are considering ND. 25%! That's of the Top 100 players. We do even better among the top 20, with 7 out of 20 (over 33% for you math whizzes out there) considering the Irish.
I know we won't land all those guys, but having that kind of presence (even if it's just consideration) in the Top 100 is a far cry from where we were just 2-3 years ago. And that's how we get quality guys on the squad - go after the best, go after them harder than anyone else, and get them in here.
One of the studs on the list is Cierre Wood, who's reportedly (check out his interest ratings on the Rivals 100 site and notice which 2 are marked 'high') down to UCLA and ND as his final two. The #3 player overall, and the #1 RB, will be on campus this weekend for the Blue-Gold game. So if you're headed down there for the game, be sure to give Cierre a shout-out.
Quality.

I have to hope we land Cierre Wood.
