If he can get some top 20 classes into Fayetteville, we will be just fine.
Unfortunately, it may take better than that. As an example close to my own loyalties (except for the two years when coaches were headed out the door and not recruiting) Ole Miss's average recruiting ranking over the past ten years is 18.5 (247Sports). What I just saw on 247 is that Ole Miss is currently ranked 12th nationally, but that is in the bottom half of the conference. Rankings aren't everything, of course, but, on that metric, top 20 is aiming too low to be a contender for the conference championship.

We've been to Atlanta 3 times. We've never been some recruiting power.
It takes a couple stars and a solid defense.
Actually, I'd say it takes good Oline play, one legit threat at RB and a solid defense.

Realistically there isn't that much of a difference between 12 and 20. Just a 16 point gap on 247. However there is a 20 point gap between #12 and #13.
Consistent top 10 classes are where the championships are won.

False.
We won 21 games in 2 years with lower ranked classes.
Arkansas never gets accurately ranked in recruiting. The MS schools consistently outrank us but don't have much to show for it. Bielema certainly needs better talent than he had at Whisky but he's proven he can win with lower ranked classes than his competition.
