I never said they "recruit poorly."

I said they are no longer an elite program and being a blue blood doesn't matter in modern college football.

Here is your quote:

Being a blue blood doesn't mean shite anymore. Notre Dame isn't a top 10 team in terms of talent, recruiting, facilities, or NIL resources. They aren't as financially committed to football as the actual elite programs, it's why they haven't won a major bowl game in 30 years.

Even the lowest rankings you could find have them in the top10 before BK. You had to go back 5 years prior to BK to make an argument to find a coach who was a bad recruiter.

I'm speaking big picture here, they are not a consistent, top 10 recruiting team and haven't been for a long time.

2 or 3 top 10 classes here and there do not change the fact that they're outside of the top 10 more often than they're in it.
