How does Recruiting affect Performance?

Anyone knows that Recruiting affect Future results. What does the relationship look like?
How strongly does recruiting affect Performance? In my opinion recruiting talent defines the ceiling of a team. coaching determines how close to the ceiling they can get. For example, IMO, If you gave a decent MAC coach the talent that Alabama has I think he could challenge for a Big Ten title immediately. If you give that same talent to Gene Czick he could win a national title at Auburn and then be unemployed for 2 years and never get another head coaching job....(seriously).

It is equally true that if you gave Jim Harbaugh Purdue's team/talent-level He could not win the Big Ten in 20 years. He would undoubtedly improve Purdue immediately and he would ultimately recruit a better team and perform much better. but with the same talent level he is not going to be a winner at Purdue.
