I went to a Vols site because they got a recent commitment from a WR from Florida and wanted to check it out. Saw this posted, thought this was quite interesting and wanted to share.
SBnation did a evaluation of recruiting over the past 3 years. They ranked the top ten teams associated with their blue-chip players. Alabama is number one sitting at 80%. Notre Dame is tenth sitting at 56%. Florida is in the "Blue Chip Ratio Fallers" category dropping from 54% in 2014 to 37% in 2017. Tennessee is in the "Risers" category rising from 36% in 2014 to 43% in 2017.
Obviously, we're having a nice surge in recruiting in 2018 and Mac has done well with evaluating lesser ranked recruits, but it's shocking how Florida has fell off blue chip talent wise. The struggle finding a competent QB and a productive offense is the downfall. You can see how recruits follow a top rated QB and the potential of offense (Matt Corral). Defense may win championships but offense brings in recruits.
