[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 916959, member: 282"] We’re just talking football here. We do recruit very well in other sports, like baseball, women’s basketball, golf, volleyball, tennis, etc. We’re improving our basketball recruiting, but it used to be fantastic. We’ve recruited really well at football before. That’s a long way of saying, while we have recruiting limitations, we’ve been really successful before. Lots of our issues are our own self-destruction. Hiring good recruiting staff is paying dividends. One of our bigger challenges is being in the ACC instead of the SEC—a lot of the local players want to play against their friends, even if they go to Missouri to lose to their friends. FSU, Clemson, UNC, and Miami overcome that fairly well. We haven’t been a fun team to watch on offense, defense, or special teams the past three years, and we’re finally fun to watch on defense this year. Players also want to go where they’ll look good playing. They want to play with their friends. They want to get better and have a path to the league. Tenuta put players in the league because the coaches there knew that they had the fundamentals down. Johnson put receivers in the league because coaches knew that his receivers could block AND catch and WOULD do both. TL;DR: I don’t think our ceiling is “top 10 classes every year” but it’s 20’s, sometimes 30’s, a class in the “teens” once in a while, and the occasional mind-blowing good class. I also think it’s more important to recruit smart. Of course, I have a chart, but it’s SP+ and not FEI. I could put one together for FEI though. Here’s 2016, and the farther right you are, the better your team is (adjusted for competition). We’re average in recruiting, but we’re above average in performance. Louisville and Washington are really outperforming a 1-year rating. Also, Army was our equal and Western Kentucky was better than us, despite not being in our league at recruiting. Recruiting and performance are related, but if you’re smart you can outperform your recruiting rank by a ton. [ATTACH type="full"]13581[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
