Predicting Future Team Success Off of Recruiting Rankings
This is an extremely well done analysis on how recruiting stars correlate to on-field success. It's a little math heavy, but the author does a great job to explaining his formulas and what everything means. I recommend the read if you have the time.

Conclusions #
Conclusions from the blog psot: "Recruiting rankings have a huge correlation to future team success, especially on defense. Great teams can come from average talent, but more talent typically means more success. On defense it is virtually impossible to build an elite defense without elite recruits, and its equally true across all defensive positions. On offense dreams of 5 star skill position players are fun, but coaching, player development, system and luck play a much bigger role in future success than they do on defense."
Not sure if our D breaks that mold or not. I would like to see how well our D recruits were ranked. Also, where someone was recruited may not be where they end up playing.
Would you say player development is a strong factor for VT's success or is success the result of recruiting, or both?
