Notre Dame Recruiting: Can Brian Kelly Solve His Five Star Problem?

Related Topics: Amun

Last week Rivals ranked their top 50 schools in terms of recruiting from the last five years. The methodology was simple: they averaged all the final class rankings and ordered the teams from the highest rank to the lowest over the five year span. Easy peasy.

Notre Dame finished 8th, with an average rating of 10.2, which should be surprising to no one who has followed Irish recruiting under Brian Kelly. His teams are generally in the 10-15 range, with his best class coming in 2013 (they finished 3rd on Rivals), which aided their overall ranking for this exercise.
