Great not just for getting more out of the players he brings in, but he (and lets be honest - the rest of the staff) clearly do a great job in both evaluating AND developing talent.

BUMP!
Updated with 2006 recruiting ranks and 2006 NFL draft numbers.
Al Groh, you're off the hook!
With 6 draft selections overall and 3 1st rounders, Chuckie the Chest stands out in the list of underachievers like an old fat guy in bright red shoes and white Oakleys.

Great stuff
It would be interesting to see side by side the avg rank and the avg recruiting rankings over the last five years to see if a team ends up ranked higher or lower than the recruiting rankings suggest.
I am a horn fan and Mack Brown gets hammered for being a good recruiter and never winning which is just internet bullcrap, but that seems to be his rep. BUT the last few years he has really turned it on.
Wouldn't trade him for anyone in america although Jim Tressel is bada** also.

In general, the recruiting rank appears to be an excellent predictor of future NFL talent production when evaluting the entire class. Whether this translates into Ws or Ls appears to be entirely irrelevent. A good coach is a good coach is a good coach, regardless of conference, division, or whether he's got 3-star kids or 5-star kids.
Up next, I have the data from all the NCAA GSR reports that track graduation rates both by incoming frosh classes (6-year window) and outgoing classes adjusted for transfers (4-year window) which I will eventually post. I have only completed the past two years thus far. However, with the NCAA's GSR studies targetting a 6-year window, I question how useful and telling the results will be. For example, what do you get by comparing one coach/program with another based on the 2005 GSR, which is actually tracking what % of the 1998 recruiting classes graduated? That's ancient history in CFB years.
