at the build up to get to this step. Not the same. Bowden didn't really start picking up the recruiting level until his first one loss season four years into his tenure as coach. BYU has changed the whole program over the past four years. Now we are at step one. If there is an increase in recruiting (more importantly, depth) over the next two to three seasons, the strategy will show itself successful.

The barriers are higher than for FSU due to the restrictions, but not insurmountable.
