First, I probably should clarify that I have personally lost interest in the whole Brewster/Kill discussion but I just wanted to say that I am comfortable with the basic point of your bolded statement. I do think though that there are some other factors that help to explain why Kill’s recruits do better. First is that Kill has a better understanding of what profile he is looking for in a recruit for his system. Second, he identifies and seeks out recruits that are likely to be better team players and are less likely to quit on his team mates. Third, I suspect that Kill and his staff do a better job of determining the character and the mental makeup of the recruit. Fourth, I also suspect Kill and his staff are better at recognizing those recruits that have a higher upside potential. Fifth, Kill and his staff are better at finding under the radar recruits than Brewster. Sixth, Kill and his staff are probably better organized and focused than Brewster.
Certainly, the differences that I have listed above are subjective but I believe they can make a significant difference, especially if you have a system & a quality coaching staff to properly develop players.
