It's coaching, not recruiting. Sure, southern schools are doing great, and that would lead us to believe in the hypothesis.
BUT, North Carolina and So. Virginia play really good football. Lots of talent.
AND, as bad as Rutgers has been, they have a ton of good players in the NFL. Many of them are contributors. The sure sign of recruiting success is having NFL coaches validate the caliber of players you recruit by keeping them on the 53. Rutgers is an NFL player maker.
Schiano is showing just how bad a gameday coach he always was down in TB.
I'm going to use the following line on anyone that speaks of us needing a "star recruiter" or claiming that fixing our football program will "take years" --
Coaching matters. Almost everyone in the middle of the pack has the same players, and the difference is coaching.
