I believe the points you raised are on target. I particularly liked, and agreed with, the comments by Ska in the first response. This class will turn out to be an excellent group of young men for Notre Dame. Biscuit, excellent post. I believe the points you raised are on target.

I'm on board. This class needs numbers for depth and specifically more offensive linemen. In addition I think this class will ultimately hinge on what happens on the field this season. If the team gets over the hump and plays to their potential the recruiting will fall right in line and all will be right with the world. If not we will have bigger problems than a few three stars with potential. Biscuit great points all around. I’m on board. This class needs numbers for depth and specifically more offensive linemen.

But 3 star players with potential should be welcomed. For example; Kyle McCarthy 2 stars, David Burton 3 stars, Maurice Crum 3 Stars, Mike Anello walk-on. Granted, better chance of success with 4/5 stars, but no guarantees. I agree with you Biscuit. But 3 star players with potential should be welcomed.

On average, they're more likely to turn into an impact player (actually, they're most likely to be arrested, but not at ND!) than a 3-star. But that said, classes can't all be 4/5 stars, especially given our circumstances this year. ND should have 60-70% 4-5 stars in a class. I think that will happen this year.

A quick check on recruiting rankings show three stars or less. These teams are not even in the top 50 in the rankings. Yet they develop their players into winners nearly every year. Many seventeen year olds are not fully developed. Three star players with a lot of upside are as valuable, if not more, than an overrated 5 star with no upside or motivation to grow.
