VaTech isn't usually know for having deeply talented teams, but I guess those around it aren't either, on the ranking.

I'd go with USC, but that could be my mistake of course.

also not sure why USC would have better recruiting opportunity than LSU, but not Florida

I'd guess Florida and LSU are nearly the same.  Almost have the try to shoehorn the Trojans in there

it would seem to me that Texas Tech would have a better recruiting situation and Washington State

not by much, but better

I guess the assumption is that Wazzu is getting maybe the 5th or 6th crack at the California talent, while Texas Tech is getting 8th or 9th crack at the Texas talent.

Wazzu has actually had some really high draft picks. Bledsoe was #1 overall and I think Leaf was #2. Has Texas Tech even ever produced a 1st round pick outside of Crabtree? I honestly can't remember.

A lot of teams get a handful of elite players.  The top teams get scads of them.  And they might not be the skill position guys.

Tech also sent a 1st round LB named Jordyn Brooks to the Seahawks in 2020

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.

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.

so, those QBs and other players were developed/blossomed at Tech and Wassu, but were they 4 or 5 star recruits?

maybe a couple of them were - Leaf, Bledsoe?  Mahomes wasn't

and what type of high level recruiters were coaching there at the time and how does the program recruit on average when those big time recruiters are not on staff?

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.
