I'm no recruiting expert, but it seems like the first thing you are selling is the coaching staff. Now to even be in the conversation, you have to be at a certain stature of program but being a known brand name, being on TV, and being in a Power 5 conference, I think we are basically covered there. Now, what about the coaching are you selling? Seems like first is personal relationship. Do they like you? Do they want to be around you and be associated with you? Next is prowess. What are your bona-fides, track record, etc?

Next would be the compensation package. This may actually be #1 now as long as your other items are at least not show stoppers.

So selling the coaching staff is huge and clearly JB is not really interested, or really capable of selling in the modern way. He gets big points for the prowess category but that can't outweigh his very low score for personal relationship. It is clear from most former players that there is a good personal relationship eventually, but he isn't apparently very interested in convincing players of that upfront like he needs to be to recruit modern players.

Anyway that is my uninformed opinion.
