UConn is not among them!
"Thirty-seven of the country's 64 Power 5 teams were out-recruited at least once by a non-major in the seven seasons between 2010 and 2016. Four teams in particular made it an art form. No team lost recruiting battles to non-Power 5 teams quite like Kansas, who lost to an average of seven outsiders per year. Boston College, a team beaten in the recruiting rankings 48 times by overachieving mid-majors, has also established itself as a rare breed in poor recruiting. The Eagles have finished in the bottom three among Power 5 conference teams in three of the past six years.
Recent upswings at Houston and South Florida have helped make the AAC the class of college football recruiting outside the Power 5. Tom Herman's latest Cougar class outranked 26 other major conference programs. USF, on the other hand, has beaten at least two Power 5 teams on the recruiting trail each year since the turn of the decade."
