Fairly interesting piece from David Hale. He argues that the ACC in terms of recruiting breaks down into three tiers (Louisville in the middle one). He demonstrates that teams largely don’t move between tiers in either direction very often. He also says that contrary to what most think, you win and then recruit better not the other way around. That being the case, everyone in the ACC who isn’t FSU, Clemson, or Miami should focus on hiring superior culture/developer guys and Xs and Os guys rather than pining after quantum leaps in recruiting.
