I’d love to agree with you, but when I looked at our commit rankings on PackPride vs. other middle-of-the-road programs such as UVA, Maryland, TOB recruited about as well as those other programs. On the other hand, UNC outrecruited TOB by a wide margin. That’s what ticks us off – that we creamed UNC almost every year, yet they recruited better than us.
Currently, IMHO, we can only compare ourselves to other middle-of-the-road programs. The way we will get out of the middle will be to have great seasons – and then capitalize on the great seasons by recruiting well. TOB had good seasons, but didn’t capitalize on them on the recruiting trail.
May I suggest that someone do a comparison of commit star power by ACC school. Not a difficult thing to do.
