how was Mahomes not a 5* recruit? he's physically almost the perfect QB. 6'2/6'3, 220-230, can run and has a rocket launcher for an arm.
Oklahoma State and Texas Tech were his only P5 offers

If I remember right wasn't he a big baseball prospect and there was some question whether he would play football?

Oh no I think you are right. ND was pretty irrelevant after Lou Holtz left up until the time Kelly was hired, and it took him a minute to get the program back to a contender type status. They haven't been able to assemble quite as much talent as you need, but they have assembled a lot of talent. If you think it is hard to recruit to ND, then you have to think Kelly would really do well at schools where it is a whole lot easier.
ND's recruiting issues really have more to do with the emergence of Cincinnati, Kentucky and Louisville (for a while) and Ohio State doing a better job in the Cincinnati area. Back in the 60', 70's and 80's, ND had the pick of the litter in the Cincinnati area that is awash in great Catholic HS programs. Back then, the ND head coach didn't really have to travel to far for most of his recruiting needs. Simply extending an offer was enough to build most of the class. Today, not so much.

Can't speak for TAMU or OU, but here at Texas, since 2010, making terrible QB evaluation and recruiting decisions is part of our special set of skills.
Oh we evaluate them just fine.  In fact we'v had two heisman winners since then, but only one won the Heisman wearing this shade of maroon.

Johnny Unitas was drafted in 9th rd by Pittsburgh and cut before ever throwing a pass

They also had Gabe Rivera back in the 80s.  Hell of a college player, but paralyzed himself in a drunk driving accident his rookie year in the NFL.
I was wondering what happened to him.You hear about so much off field foolery it all sort of segues in together

He's a PA guy and knows the terrain,if they get decent Coordinators the Lions should be fine.Spartan/Ninnies was shaping up to be a good one but MSU might not be able to field a punt return team.Guys either hobbled or on the DL

With the MSU pass defense, will they need a punt return team?

 Drinkwitz was asked Tuesday for his initial thoughts on Florida pulling the plug on his coaching peer.

“My father was a farmer, and there’s an old saying you reap what you sow," Drinkwitz said on 1010XL, via Matt Hayes. “If you sow kindness, you reap kindness. If you sow jackass, you reap jackass.”

I personally wouldn't especially make a play for Franklin.  I think he's a decent coach, but I think some are better for the main teams we're talking about.

Lane K. at Florida would be a hoot, like a mini-Steve reprise.
