Most on here focus so much on recruiting, they forget that coaching and development is just as important if not more important.
TCU is the perfect example of this. Look at their classes the last 6 years.
2017: 28th 23 commits, 4- 4 star, 16-3 star
2018: 25th 25 commits, 5-4 star, 20-3 star
2019: 32nd 27 commits, 4-4 star, 23-3 star
2020: 23rd 21 commits, 1-5 star, 6-4 star, 13-3 star
2021: 54th 15 commits, 3-4 star, 11-3 star
2022: 45th 14 commits, 4-4 star, 10-3 star
Transfer portal: last 2 years
2022: 13th 14 transfers, 2-4 star, 12-3 star

Some will say, but they had Max Duggan. Sure, but he was still developed, he wasn't a top 100 or even a Top 200 recruit.
Recruiting is important, but development and coaching are equally important.
