[QUOTE="JorgeJonas, post: 194412, member: 2171"] Isn't there a mathematical element to hoops recruiting, too? There are 114 4* or better basketball players in 2016, and 369 4* or better football players in 2016, both according to Rivals. If the best teams sign roughly two or three players in basketball, that means the 40th rated class can get about two 4* players. In football, however, if the average class is about 21, that means that the 40th rated class might not get any, or only a few. I think there's probably a cultural aspect to this, too (though I freely admit not having facts to back this up). It would seem like football is more of a suburban/rural sport, and so the kids that play it are more comfortable going to rural campuses. In hoops, however, it is a more urban sport, so schools in cities can get better players. I dunno... [/QUOTE]
