Great stats. ND = Overrated On and Off The Field. LOL!!!
these facts remain: the best high school football team are in florida, california, and texas. then you have ohio, illinois, pennsylvania.
these kids usually stay in-state. that is why the USC's, the Florida's, the Texas's are always ranked very high.
schools like ND cannot compete anymore. you take a 17 year old black kid from california and show him ND. he's never seen snow except on tv, and the only blacks he sees at ND are other football players.
then take him to USC. sun, girls, no problem getting past the academic committee, and closer to mom.
i can't remember the last ND linebacker to get drafted, while USC had four drafted last year. one of them didn't even start at USC!
