Since the academic record of every recruit has to be submitted to the PL, I have confidence they will comply with the AI. However, as already pointed out, they have a lower AI to work with. Also transfers who have been at their prior school for 1.5+ years do not have to meet the normal AI - just a transfer AI that is a much lower bar. These two items clearly give FU an advantage.

Though more subtle to analyze by "lay folk," like us, it may be what distinguishes the top dogs from the rest of the pack.

This doesn't diminish the significance of recruiting success. Exceptional athletes are significant. But, they're just part of the equation.

Was Biddle winning the recruiting game, the coaching game or both ?
Same can be asked about Fordham's Joe Morehead ? Conversely, this year, we already have additional hints about H.C.'s ability to attract the calibre of payers now going to other PL schools. Does Tom G's coaching and the program stewardship provide them with any on-field uptick ?
AD Nate Pine has upticked morale temporarily. God for bid Pujals gets injured, H.C. will become fully exposed and possibly fully unglued.
