re: 2023 Recruiting

Recruiting is more important than coaching in college now. You can ruin incredible talent, but it's hard. You can't spin straw into gold.

It's all important. However, there is massive confirmation bias: the teams that recruit the best, also generally have the best coaches and supporting staffs. So those elite recruits are simultaneously also being coached and developed properly. It's not like Georgia or Ohio State or Bama are signing 5-stars every year, but somehow they can't attract legitimately good coaches.
