[QUOTE="MacDaddy2, post: 399859, member: 927"] I believe the bottom line is that recruiting rankings matter, in aggregate. Individually it is a bit of a crap shoot. Developing them once they are on campus is critical. IMO, if two programs develop their players equally, and incrementally from where they arrived as freshmen, the team with a recruiting ranking in the Top 10 will beat the team below the Top 20 70% of the time. Johnnies and Joes my friends, Johnnies and Joe's. Until we are willing to cough up the duffle bags full of cash to the "prospect showcase" organizations we are fighting a losing battle. The dirtiest three in the game at that Nick, Dabo and the understudy Kirby. Would love to see an expose on this but its almost impossible to follow the money since the transactions are cash. Oh and in case you are wondering, a 5 star tackle goes for around $250K, the showcase gets 30% and the family of the player gets the rest. [/QUOTE]
