I gotta say I'm one of those numbnuts lol. I personally don't think any one game here or there matters all that much in the scheme of things. Say we upset some big out of conference team, do I think that one game alone would give us some big bump in recruiting? I don't. It's facilities, consistent performance over time, playing time etc..all as one big package that matter IMO as opposed to a win over a Texas of whatever.
On top of which, if you've seen my posts on recruiting I think recruiting is generally a tiered pyramid with tiers getting larger as you go down and that most schools will generally recruit in the tier related to the status of their school barring long term good/poor performance or some stellar/poor recruiter as HC.
