we pull in a couple of elite kids that are going elsewhere each year, it could make a difference.
If (and that's a HUGE-Trump if) we landed all of the top LDS kids, we'd be a regular top 15 and higher contender. But, of course, we don't get all the top LDS kids. We get about 60-70% of them. The hope I think is if we start pushing toward 90% of the top LDS kids, and land a blue chipper here and there, then we might start getting regularly back into the top 25, with an occasional sneak into the top 10.
I think you're right in terms of scheme, so the only real delta in my view is the recruits.
