Unfortunately the two don't usually go hand in hand. If you don't recruit the best players you will not compete with big time programs like USC, Florida, and LSU. I understand your point that it doens't matter if the kid was the best player in the country in high school....it's what he does in college, but you have a better chance of getting a good college player if you recruit the kids who dominate in high school. To be honest, recruiting is a crap shoot, you just have to try an increase the odds that's all.
I mentioned this before, but USC has several 4 and 5 star high school recruits that have never touched the field, and the players who beat them out might not have been as highly recruited...so nothings is ever for sure. I really just think that Weis is a terrible game day coach and maybe he's recruiting kids that don't fit within his system, I don't know. What I do know is whatever he is doing isn't working.
