I think Bronco is beating the bushes in places that other big schools don't as much (starting with Timpview).

I think the big schools often don't bother doing that much talent evaluation. They let the recruiting services do it for them and then they go after them. Certainly, they will evaluate players once the recruiting services have identified them, but IMO they've outsourced a fair amount of the initial screening.

Bronco and other lesser schools are often forced into more intensive initial screening to identify players that haven't shown up on the national radar, but still possess enough ability to succeed; because Bronco knows damn well he can't butter his bread going head-to-head with top BCS schools on a regular basis.
