lol

Yeah, just get a bunch of 4* kids.  No problem.  No big deal.  



And your graph is based on data that pre-dates the portal, or at least the full effect of it.

You're not good at this.

I figure in a given year, a team adds 25+ via recruiting, and then they lose 5 or so to the portal, and gain 5 or so in the portal.  I believe personally that recruiting is quite important, even if the importance is somewhat attenuated with the portal. It's a lesser factor, and the top teams recruit well.

A flashy first year coach may do unusually well using the portal, he may have to, but it is a rare event.

I recall being in a small town somewhere and looked at the top five restaurants on Trip Advisor.  The top 2 were Red Lobster and Applebies.

Oops.

Texas must be the place you oughta be.  Swimming pools, movie stars, Elon Musk ...

NC is gaining on GA.  I can recall when GA was in the 4 million range.  Now Atlanta is projecting 8 million in the metro by 2050.

I had some business with the "local" tag office south of us and after finishing, I drove to Fox Bros. BBQ.   I'm pleased to report it's still excellent.  Their brisket is not dry.  We had leftovers which I had for dinner.

In my opinion, having a great recruiting class is a lot better than not, even if other factors also are important.  To disparage it as "not very important" is a large over statement in my view.  And yes, some great recruiting classes fail to produce at times.


as a Nebraska fan and living through the years of hearing coaches and fans say it's about development (as if the players from the 80's and 90's were mostly developed from zero stars), I can attest that you have to have good marble to make the Statue of David.   We've seen our share of flops, and rankings are not perfect as they don't account for player fit...   BUT, you have to have difference-makers and you have to recruit them.

seems a bit pricey - $6 for a sausage link - but when in Rome

BBQ prices are insane these days.  Completely off the rails.

If these ranking graphics didn't have titles/headers and it was just a random list of schools, how long on average would it take us to figure out the criteria by which they were ranked?
