[QUOTE="Deleted member 654622, post: 1455782"] As a stats and numbers guy, I love the charts and information you have provided. But the value lies within the reader. When you have a multi year chart, like Lovie vs Beckman, I hope everyone can see that Lovie started with less and is brining in better talent. But when you go into a single season, it makes it more difficult for me to make my decision. For example, I personally would rather have Lovie's class over Northwestern's. And when I look at ILL vs MN, I see a handful of recruits the MN has that ILL was not allowed to bring in. If I was going to make a valid decision on Lovie's recruiting vs others, I think it would have to be at least a three year scope. You make very valid points about depth. Let me raise these two questions; 1. Is top end talent more important than depth in college football? Was Purdue's offense that much better because of their depth or because R. Moore was added to the team? 2. Is it as easy for a staff to "coach up" a 3 star recruit to a 4 star level as it is a 2 star recruit to a 3 star level? 3. What would field the more successful team after three years? A. 3-4 93 rated players included with average and some below average players B. All 84-87 rated players Open questions In my opinion it is clear we are not at the Nebraska level. If we start showing wins this year, will that change? I hope. [/QUOTE]
