I don’t see how having the right connections is somehow luck.
I was responding to the comment that "getting a big time Texas recruit is impossible to do in the B1G." Whether it's luck, or however else you want to label it, it wouldn't happen unless it was a legacy kid. We actually thought he was going to go the MLB route and were floored when he said he was coming to Lincoln after the draft (thus a transfer out).
I would take 8 legacy kids that are drafted every year. My point is, Blessie isn't coming here unless he was a legacy with the connections to the program. So a "big time Texas recruit" isn't coming up north to the B1G to play unless you have something going for you like that. Maybe luck was the wrong word, but that's not the normal blueprint in recruiting.
