Oh Im not picking on Marrone's first class at all. Im saying and I think the number will prove this out, that for the most part if your recruiting classes are in the top 40 on a regular basis then i think there is a good chance you break into the top 20-25 on a regular basis I think the ranking and the correlations would prove that out, there are exceptions both ways no doubt. I only picked 2009 like I said because these players would most likely be the players who understand your systems and have grown with your program by now. as i said there are exceptions for instance Rutgers did well in 2009 recruiting and is doing well in the polls yet Pitt did well in 2009 recruiting and is not doing well. Yet I think overall the facts are there that you need to recruit well to rate well( I know obvious statement). All of Marrones classes since 2010 are in the 50's I think we start to become a solid team again. This years class will be smaller because his 2009 class was smaller. 
 
There are other factors no doubt such as schedules and coaching stability and even your league the ratings system not being correct on players etc etc. but for the most part the teams that get the highest rated classes get the highest rankings and thus the better bowls and more money and exposure.
