Texas, the team that just landed the #1 recruiting class this cycle, has 5 five-stars, 14 four-stars, and 6 three-stars. Even blue bloods are still grabbing guys with the hope they can develop them. Then they use the transfer portal to plug holes. UCLA realistically needs to get to that level, which would hopefully translate to more winning and then more NIL available to keep people.

I agree about texas, but the #1 ranking is a function more of the 5 five stars and quality of four stars. Doesn't NIL factor a lot into snagging that level of high school recruit? I don't think UCLA has any hope whatsoever of ever recruiting at that level with its current NIL.
