No PJ...? But the writer throws two from the Nebraska staff on the list. I call bs

The top 10 recruiters in the Big Ten

 

[PitinoFan]

There are zero head coaches on the list.

Hard to argue against nebraskas recruiters.. They get the tallent. They just haven't done anything with it

Recruiters should be evaluated on results the way recruiting classes should be. You can say a guy is bringing in the best talent on paper, but if the players are not panning out on the field then are they really that great of a recruiter?

You should get a whole lot more credit as a recruiter for finding a 2-3 star guy that turns out to be a stud vs. bringing in some 4 star guy that doesn't pan out.

Yeah and this article seems to only give credit for recruiters that landed players with 4-5 stars. It’s way more impressive when a coach is able to recruit players that were underrated or that flew under the radar.

HCs are not on the list because most of the recruiting in most teams is done by the ACs.
When PJ's recruits make up most of the players on the field then all will see how he has recruited if indeed he does all of the recruiting.

They are glorified star collectors until otherwise proven.

It seems like it would be a hard list to compose. Has every recruiter Ohio State and Alabama ever had been the best in the country or is it they recruit for Ohio State and Alabama? It might not be a totally meaningless list but it's hard for me to take it too seriously.

Yes. There's many, many variables at play.
