I think football recruiting is a pretty large crapshoot
I think the error bars on the top ranked guys are pretty large and once you get out of the top 100-250 range probably the error bars are gigantic. I think the elite schools just reduce their margin for error by being able to take so many top ranked guys that the ones that break out will cover for the ones that bust. It doesn’t surprise me that middling schools often have top recruits bust and unheralded recruits break out. I think most of these guys probably are leaving because they didn’t perform. I don’t know if that means they were overvalued as HS recruits. I just think our expectations for the recruits based on rankings we bring in should probably be lowered. Many of them will bust.
