Double dittos. DG is talent we stole from the FBS and his ceiling is high indeed. Congrats to our coaches for recognizing his potential and snatching him up.
I like to use a Moneyball analogy.
FCS teams cannot feed at the same trough as the FBS powerhouses. Recruiting becomes a more regionalized game with a lot of entrants.
FCS teams have to find market inefficiencies - good players overlooked by bigger schools for whatever reason. A lot of truly great SoCon players were overlooked because of their physical stature, size of their school, position, recent injury history, etc.
Good recruiters identify those guys. Good coaches develop them.
