Kelly always had really good OLs at ND. Skill positions left some to be desired, even if he did get a few good ones here and there like Chase Claypool and Miles Boykin. I'm not sure if it was him or Notre Dame's standards. After all OL are on average smarter and make better grades than skill guys so probably easier to get high end OL than skill players to ND. Could also be that the midwest is better known for OL recruits in general.

Might be another reason he came to LSU after seeing all the WRs and DBs we've put into the NFL. If he can continue to field solid OLs he's always had to complement the bounty of skill guys that Louisiana consistently puts out as well as having a decent pipeline in TX, it fills the missing ingredient that kept him from reaching the mountaintop at ND.

BK recruited some elite skill guys; only position he never did great with is QB

ND always had mid QBs while he was there.

I may be reaching here, but I could definitely see it being easier to get higher academic Olineman (NDs standards) than skill players
