Very true and something one always must keep in mind when looking at recruiting rankings. But I have to wonder, how much of our overplaying our ranking is due to finding the guys who were missed, and how much is due to the staff's ability to develop players? Surely it's a combination (don't call me Shirley), but if the more important factor is the latter, can you imagine this team after these recent classes?  It would truly be a sight to behold.

I think a third factor -- albeit a less important one -- is at play: our guys are much less likely to be attrited than other teams'.
