[QUOTE="Deleted member 654622, post: 1455914"] I kind of think it helps. When you look at this graph, I see Northwestern as the better team, even though IL has the numbers and more top end. I would say the quality depth for Northwestern would sway the decision. But the differential looks very similar to Lovie vs Beckman. Which does make my point. Yes having better players is going to make a better team. However 1. The recruiting rankings, regardless on how far they have come, are not so precise to know the real difference between an .75 and a .85. In fact, both those guys could easily be at same caliber player after one year in college. Bobby Rountree's of the world 2. Numerous variables go into the calculation of a school's success, competition, coaching, injuries. Making the incremental differences in recruiting rankings immaterial. Until you get to the bigger gaps. I would look at these charts and say Lovie has upgraded the talent. I would also say if he doesn't continue to improve it, teams like Nebraska are going to run away from us. But Northwestern, Minnesota not enough of a difference to say they are moving ahead faster than us. [/QUOTE]
