[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 911053, member: 282"] Something else to consider: while we may debate how big a factor recruiting is in team success, let’s say it’s that 36% number that was in that research paper that I cited in this thread. That doesn’t mean the Head Coach or the coaching staff is responsible for that 36%—coaches can pull up your rankings or pull them down, but how much? The difference between one coach and another isn’t 100% of the story—there’s some base recruiting level that’s associated with the school. At UNC, Mack Brown has brought in some highly thought of recruiters, and it seems to have brought them from a school that recruits in the 20-40 range to a school that recruits in the 10-30 range. I do have to ask “what else have they done to improve their perceived recruiting that much?”. Is it all coaches? It’s worth looking at and trying to figure that out. I also have to wonder about the numbers—when I looked at different positions, there were a lot more 4* and 5* DEs than DTs. The OL and the DL don’t seem to show up as much in the ratings as QB and other positions. There’s also the question of recruiting for need vs the overall ratings. An extra 3* OT might help you more than a 4* WR. [/QUOTE]
