Arrogant SOB. Curse Florida. No TCU, no Boise, no BYU, no Utah, yet those teams continue their royal asses a good percentage of the time. That's called coaching up, whereas you royal whiners are coaching down.

I don't get too into the recruiting stuff, so I confess ignorance here. There's two analyses I'd like to see:
- Comparison of recruiting classes to top 25 finishes: how accurate a predictor are they for a team's next season? next 2-3 seasons? - Comparison of the top 50 recruits against NFL draft picks for the year they turn pro. Alternatively, a comparison of where each player statistically ranks against others in his position. Not saying that recruiting doesn't matter, but it seems all this brouhaha over recruiting classes is VERY artificial. Moreso even than the BCS.

My take is that it's difficult to evaluate the recruiting efforts very well. The most important aspect is filling your gaps with available athletes wanting to play on your team. BYU may have come up short a bit by missing out on two Dline guys who went elsewhere and by not locating sufficient safety help. And BYU reached on a couple of the local Utah players when it might have been better served to reach on kids with more speed. I don't see the difference between reaching on a local kid who doesn't play to reaching on a kid with speed who might leave. It seems you're left with the same effect and the local kid has less upside. And I mean the lowly recruited local kid, not the Bronson Kaufusis or Heimulis.

A&M has always recruited well. But look at the product on the field.
