The writer's approach seems dumb to me. This should basically come down to which programs have the biggest obstacles to overcome regarding location, basketball school, academics, etc. Just off of his name, Saban would land 7 of the top 15 in NJ every year. That's 4-5 4* recruits right off the bat. Programs like BC, Syracuse, Indiana, Kansas, Oregon State, Washington State are much tougher jobs.
I guess the "It's Rutgers!" joke was too hard to pass up.
