By basing it off of purely RSCI ratings, I ran the risk of confirmation bias and avoided recency bias.

Clearly, several of our best players were unranked by RSCI coming out of high school.  No doubt, some players progress better than others, and sometimes there are blown scouting reports that miss on players.

But, generally speaking, high talent out of high school succeeds at a higher rate in college ball.

I didn't want to go through every roster player by player, it is highly subjective (and this isn't my job).  The ACC in general recruited much better as a conference both in high school and portal recruiting.  That comes from having more money.  I can't find confirmed sources for NIL and unfortunately every body has incentive to lie.

Unless we start getting publicly available contracts, we will never know.

But if we were 6-7th in NIL money spent this season, out of 18 conference teams, that actually supports my point that we can compete with everybody but Duke financially and will get our fair share of recruiting wins.
