Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 3203205, member: 628"] Has it been closely related? I'm asking genuinely. We were in back-to-back bowl in 2012 and 2013, did that goose recruiting? Seemed like Dino had to address a lot of talent shortcomings when he took over in the wake of those seasons. The 2012 senior class was recruited when we hadn't made a bowl game since before any of those players were in high school. I'm not arguing that bowls don't help, of course they do. But I do think that they are overvalued to some extent. When 2/3rds of FBS makes a bowl, there are simply so few teams that can't tout any bowl "success" when they're out recruiting. [/QUOTE]
