I am relying on Farrell for this, if only because he is known as The Godfather of Football Recruiting. Who should I argue with?
“I mean, New England has a very small number of legitimate football players,” Farrell says. “Boston College has to win recruitment battles on the street, mostly for three-star players who didn’t get the offers they were looking for or are interested in the program for some reason. Then you have to train those kids to have them.” a rare season with 10 wins. ”

Look at Miami, Tennessee, and Michigan, Farrell says. Like Nebraska, these programs have fan bases who have unrealistic expectations. The difference, of course, are these schools do have strong recruiting bases.
Then there is the following: There is an ongoing national recruitment meeting that also applies (loosely) to Nebraska. That said, there is concern that a disproportionate number of the nation’s elite players attend only a handful of schools – that is, Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Georgia, and perhaps Oklahoma.
“It’s always been like this (above), but now it’s worse,” says Farrell. “I think that’s because there is a real lack of parity when it comes to fighting for a national championship.”
In the past nine years, Alabama has won four national championships (2011, 2012, 2015, and 2017) and Clemson has won two (2016, 2018). There’s a lot of talent flowing south and southeast, and a lot of that flowing into Ohio State as well.
