I largely agree with you about offers as a better measurement of talent level... but I think when you say stuff like the Daily Numbers you're downplaying what went on here in the past. I think 2* recruits are much more like micro/nano cap stocks. If you're an excellent at evaluation and projection you can make a killing and out perform your peers. It's what Edsall did here. It's what Rich Rod did at West Virginia... it's how teams like TCU and Boise State got great. It's MUCH MUCH harder to do...but if you're in the AAC and if you're recruiting territory includes upstate New York, Mass, and New Hampshire... you better be able to do it.
I wasn't calling the players lottery tickets. Was comparing the concept of arguing against the aggregate with specific examples.
There were a lot of really good players they recruited - they are also 31-49 in conference and when they stepped up in class they generally got smacked around. What is the record against the top 25? 2-22 or something at this point?
