P5 CFB Jobs Ranked by Ease of Recruiting

[QMany]

This is my favorite part:

16. Tennessee Volunteers

Tennessee is not a talent-rich state relative to what some of the above SEC schools draw from, and the Vols' recent tradition is nothing to write home about. But they have great facilities, a huge, passionate fan base and will spend the money it takes to bring in elite-level prospects.

Yes but you have to dived the 9 four stars by 2...for the ones that did not "buy in"...you also have to divide that by 3 for the ones that did not "give full effort" and then you have to divide that by 6 and multiply it by 0 for the players that were still filled with "bo-toxin"

Iowa runs the style of offense and defense that allows them to recruit locally. The majority of their team is from the Midwest. This in turn has shown to not get as many 'play makers' or speed guys as well.

Iowa basically tries to do what Alabama does. Not sure why you think their style of offense doesn't attract "play makers or speed guys."

Iowa is a paper tiger this year. They are decent, but they and MSU are overrated. Though, I'm hoping to baby jesus that MSU beats Alabama badly.

Spread offenses would attract those players more often. I am not saying that Iowa is great - just stated that they can win with Midwest kids with a run first/pro offense.

So they built their system to best utilize the local talent? No square peg, round hole?

That would be refreshing. And the correct way to do it.

Wish that some guys in Lincoln would learn about that.

Pretty much agree.

The following five factors were weighed by our experts on a scale of 1 (worst) to 5 (best). Max total points per team were 25. Within the 1-65 rankings, ties among teams with equal points were broken by a panel vote of RecruitingNation experts:


1. Favorable geography/local recruiting territory.

2. Recruiting/football budget. Sources of data were most current available information, including the data collected HERE and HERE, and original research by ESPN's recruiting reporters and team of scouts.

3. Facilities to attract recruits.

4. Next-level considerations. NFL alumni and identifiable pro prospects who provide evidence to recruits that they can play at the next level.

5. Other intangibles including but not limited to winning tradition, game-day experience and academic considerations. (Example: Schools with a positive tradition to sell to recruits could receive a "5" in this category, schools with academic restrictions that represent a hurdle in recruiting could get a "1." If there were no discernible positive or negative intangibles, panelists were instructed to give a "3" in this category.)

38. Nebraska Cornhuskers


The Cornhuskers don't have much local talent and have to go farther than their Big Ten competition for players -- but they spend the money it takes to compete on the trail. That said, Nebraska has signed just one ESPN 300 player since 2010, and current recruits are aware that most of the program's title-winning tradition dates to before they were born.

I'd love to make fun of Nebraska's recruiting, but we signed 3 ESPN 300 players last year alone (Barnett, S. Morgan and Eric Lee). Not sure where they got the 'one ESPN 300 player since 2010' bit.

lol the idiots at espn cant even get their own stats right. morons.

I'd argue that MSU has earned their respect over the last several seasons.

They've won 2 Conference Championships, won a Rose and Cotton Bowl, beat Ohio State twice and now they've qualified for the college football playoff. Almost every team in college football would trade their last 3 seasons for what Michigan State has done.

 

[cm husker]

I agree that MSU has earned respect, and I respect what they do as a program.

But, I don't think this is their strongest team overall; in fact, I think it's one of their weaker teams in the past few years, ironically, considering they are in the playoff. Offensively, they are not a great team.
