Of course, as I recall, we've had some pretty good players in football who were lightly recruited, or maybe not recruited at all....such as Tim Rattay, Trent Taylor, Boston Scott....all three made it to the pros.
Recruiting is not an exact science. Good players, hidden gems, slip through the "big school" net sometimes. Brooke landed two at NSU who could have played just about anywhere. Maybe not at UCONN or a super elite like that, but at just about any other "P5" school. So....who really knows?
Besides, it's really about player development. Good coaches can take an "average" player and make something out of them.
