Looking back over the past four years of on field play and five years of recruiting, I've noticed a great deal of parity in the ACC besides the 800 pound Tiger in the room, both competitively and on the recruiting trail.
What if I told you there was only one team in the ACC over the past four years that hasn't averaged a bowl game? Who do you think it is? At 5 wins per season, the worst performing ACC team is North Carolina. Somehow, they manage to snag the 4th best recruiting class average, yet cannot regularly manage bowl eligibility.
Outside of Clemson, FSU has the best recruiting average in the conference, yet is 6th in average wins. Boston College is dead last in ACC recruiting, yet with a win tomorrow, they'd have the same number of wins.
Where do the Hokies sit? 5th in recruiting over the past five classes, yet have one more win than any other ACC school, besides Clemson.
Wake Forest has been nothing if not stunning with their 13th ranked average recruiting class, but 4th most wins.
Yes, for some teams, where they recruit is where they finish. Since 2016, Miami has been thirdtops in the Coastal in recruiting and in wins, but has not only made it to the ACC Championship Game once. Georgia Tech, Louisville, Pitt, NC State, UVA, Duke, and Syracuse all seem to finish roughly where they recruit on average.
So which coaches get the most out of their recruits? Well, Dave Clawson at Wake has done far and away the best, at +9 spots. Love him or hate him, Steve Addazio was fantastic at +6. Coming in third is our own Justin Fuente at +3.
Who is worst? Whoever wants to coach at Chapel Hill, -10. The next closest is GT at -2.
