Is recruiting pre-determined by intelligence?

UM seems to destroy talent (or at least severely under-prepare it for the NFL). MSU prepares it for the NFL. Seems obvious, at least with the current respective coaching staff at each school.

Could it be that if you aren't smart enough to discern the truth about UM and avoid that train wreck, then you aren't mentally ready to be developed for the NFL, therefore by default a highly rated recruit who goes to UM is less likely to be NFL material, not based on physical ability rather on mental capacity? Or does the coaching just suck?

I'm going to say the biggest of morons can be made into the best of players. Coaching is my answer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hleDfhXCtHs

I think there could be something to that. Also attitude and work ethic. How many time should has a recruit picked a place because his position doesn't have any competition and he can walk in and play day 1. Always seems the kids who don't want to compete and take the shortcut go that way. Competition is good.
