All the proof you need of the strength of the ACC's recruiting territory is borne out during the NFL draft. The ACC has some complicated issues and has flopped many a time on the national stage. But indeed, ACC recruiting grounds are very fertile. (And while B1G recruits from PA and OH are often drafted, too, a great many B1G draftees were recruited out of SEC and/or ACC and/or BigXII territory).
Eh, this same line of reasoning isn't used when people knock UConn's football. The fact that we had twice as many NFL payers drafted as the two teams added to the ACC in 2013 was of little use to anyone. Or the fact that UConn had 5 players drafted in one year recently, and has 23 players in the NFL (well ahead of Louisville). We too produce NFL players, but under Pasqualoni, we simply do not win.
Heck, other than North Carolina, our basketball team produces more good NBA players than any other school.
