The marquee schools are always going to get the bigger/faster/stronger players that will transition into the NFL easier then other schools..

What you just said is why I think it's dumb for teams like Texas, Oklahoma, Florida and Michigan to run the spread, they got top notch recruiting classes to begin with.
