App has a system that works for them. App may not have the top ranked recruiting classes, but they recruit good players that fit their system and as long as they get guys that fit their system and they continue to have extraordinary player development, they are going to finish in the top 3 or 4 of the SunBelt. I'll take that over getting a slightly higher ranked recruiting class, but continually underperforming on the field. To date, you continually see App's 6th and 8th place recruiting classes throughout the end of the season all-SunBelt. However, to NCeagle's, TroyFootball05's, and EigenEagle's point, App defies the trends and cannot be considered on its own to debunk recruiting rankings. You would need to have 5 or 6 other App State like examples at least. The only other teams I can think of that have similar but slightly higher ranked recruiting classes that are competing at a high level and in consideration of the top 25 are Troy and Navy.
