[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 912431, member: 282"] I don't know about recruiting [B]potential[/B], but here are the recruiting rankings for the last 22 years, sorted by average recruiting rank, from [URL]https://collegefootballdata.com/exporter/recruiting/teams[/URL]. If we're sitting on untapped recruiting potential, there's very little sign of us ever accidentally tapping it. Yes, we've had good years, but almost everyone has had good years. I have serious issues with the scores they put together--it's akin to astrology or phrenology. It's pseudoscience. But here's their pseudoscience in a nice table for ya. [TABLE] [TR] [TH]School[/TH] [TH]Avg Rank[/TH] [TH]Avg Rank 2013-2022[/TH] [TH]Max Rank[/TH] [TH]Min Rank[/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Auburn[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]13.565217[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]12.3[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]30[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]5[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Nebraska[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]25.956522[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]25.8[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]41[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]8[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Arizona State[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]34.652174[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]37.6[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]103[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]17[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Wisconsin[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]37.217391[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]34.5[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]65[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]15[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Colorado[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]44.869565[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]56[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]74[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]13[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Georgia Tech[/TD] [TD][RIGHT]47.173913[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]49.8[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]70[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][RIGHT]15[/RIGHT][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] To me, it looks like having a multi-year plan and getting the key players you need on in "skill" positions and on the line is the way to go. Find a LB that you can grow into an all-ACC LB. Set up strength and conditioning to get them strong and agile but keep them from getting injured (Stanford was really good about that for a while). TL;DR: have a good plan and execute on it. Get to know great players and try to get them to come to your school, but have a great team in a great environment and your odds of having great players goes up. [/QUOTE]
