So, in state, the IMG effect did not really produce that much of a difference.  FSU cleaned up last year, and Miami cleaned up this year.  We recruited better than an out-of-state school, but not nearly as well as a school the stature of Florida should have.

But there were 10 players in the top 50 from IMG and none went to Florida.

That, in essence, removes 20% of the list from consideration. 

If we compare McElwain's recruiting to that of prior UF coaches, and look at the % of top in-state talent that went to UF, it is misleading because 20% of those recruits aren't truly Florida players. They went to Notre Dame, Va. Tech, OSU, LSU, UGa; schools that they had ties to before they spent one or two years at IMG.
