I mean... you still gotta get good young kids to develop. The top10 recruiting classes for 2026 are USC, Notre Dame, Georgia, Alabama, Oregon, Ohio State, A&M, Miami, Tennessee, and Texas. Indiana is 32nd for those wondering.
You can't ignore high school. I'll also say no matter what your feelings are on your local talent no matter where you are, you have to recruit local guys because it's a better shot they won't just take off at the first offer for more money. That's how you can build some depth.
