If Archie has to take the Dayton recruits with him to IU, he is already in big trouble. I assume, (if there is truth to reports that UD stepped up with as much money as IU did), that the ability to attract better recruits, 4 stars and McDonald's AAs, was the major reason Archie took the job.

That's not necessarily true as early as recruiting starts today. Plenty of P5 schools are recruiting kids at 16 years old and wanting their verbals immediately. Kids do get better, get bigger, and become much more attractive players later in the process. The problem is there are few spots left by the time they are seniors...
It's really no different (on a slightly smaller scale) than transfers that play for a nobody but when they're 20 years old they can play for lots of big schools.
