Is "vision" a factor in the lower divisions?
It is a huge factor. The more games you win, the better your vision becomes. The better your vision becomes, the better quality recruits, and more "undecided" recruits you can "see."

Recent real-life example: The second or third year I was at McMurry (TX) in Dobie D3, I compared my recruits to those of Cal Lutheran, the traditional power in my conference. I realized that I could only "see" two of the 14 guys he signed. I had no chance to recruit players of the same caliber, at least where initial attributes were concerned. A few seasons and quite a few wins later, I could see and sign much better players and McMurry eventually won its first national championship in any world.
I took over this team right after you won the natty. McMurry had back to back national championship runs (I lost) because your team went again with me at the helm. The RS RB* you left me is still the most dominant RB I have had at any level.

It is amazing what you can do with increased vision, in terms of both the quality of the recruits and the number of undecideds.
