No, from what I'm seeing, Weiss is not a good recruiter, and this year has proven that. Now that Ty Willingham's recruits have all but left ND via graduation, or transfers, Weiss's recruits have amounted to a thing.

Take that kid who started at QB at the beginning of the season, he threw 3 passes out of 24 plays in the opener versus Georgia Tech in the season opener, so he ran the ball 21 times, and of those runs, 3 were fumbled for turnovers.

That kid was not quality ND recruiting material, and I'm glad someone over there realized it, and terminated his scholarship because he was not a good player. Not really what, happened, because he transferred to somewhere like N. Illinois or something like that.

Not sure about this Clausen kid, he was supposed to be the best to ever play, but like both of his brothers, he appears a washout living on a family reputation. For being 42-0 in high school, he sure doesnt appear to know how to manage a football game, and has instead let the game manage him.

Both of those guys were Weiss recruits and not very good to boot. Mike Thomas the RB who moved to LB last year should have stayed at LB, he was better there...as a RB he really sucks.

Zibikowski and John Carlson are the decent players left on the team, and they're just enduring till the end of the season, to go to the NFL.

As a big big ND Fan, I'm not disappointed, I'm infuriated. This is the most disgusting half of half of half of half a$$ed effort I've ever seen out the Irish. Weiss better get it together, or they'll run him out like they did Ty Willingham.
The first 2 years this looked like the right decision, now I'm not so sure.

Weiss didn't make things any better, with that ridiculous August pre-season conference, where he said the Irish were gonna come out and surprise everybody and compete for the National Title.....are you freakin' kidding me? not with that ragtag bunch of kids you recruits. Weiss needs some damn football players, not these little cabbage patch kids he's recruiting.

ND is in seriously trouble, and if Weiss doesn't make and win a bowl game next year, I bet he gets ran out.

Hell right now, the Kansas Jayhawks would beat the Irish....and I don't think that's either ever been done, or they've even played each other.
