We're going to add
Wayne State to our Scenario B list. I re-added them as D1 program and I'm curious if we can turn them into a power program in the heart of Detroit in due time. I don't really have to add recruits to Michigan, as it's already pretty well stocked, but I can emphasize the number of international recruits who "move" to Detroit, giving that program more local kids to select from when it's recruiting season.

Scenario A: Wyoming
Scenario B: Wayne State
Scenario C: Heritage League & SWAC

Let's check in on last season's recruiting:
Wyoming had the 3rd best recruiting class in the Mountain West conference and a Top 30 class overall. Turns out, prestige helps a lot.
In the SWAC, Jackson State [32] and Grambling [46] were the only two programs to yield classes in the Top 50. No Heritage Conference program did this [Norfolk State topped that league at #53.]
We'll see if a second year does any better for any of them.
Here were the Top 10 recruiting classes.
