I think the mid-majors are just going to have to hit the big boys with better IQ, and I do think there are going to be a rash of EE's.  Some of these new freshman are going to be so awesome that they need to go in 2 years.

Yea, I think it is pretty obvious that recruit quality has come down quite a bit. And I think some people are not happy about this at the moment because they have young teams populated with recruits generated by the new engine that are having a really hard time competing with teams populated with players from the old engine. I think as these old style players fade and people's expectations move down from where they were with the old engine this problem won't be seen as a problem.

The only problem that I think may need corrected when it comes to recruit generation is the lack of depth in the recruit pool as a whole. I think this will make it more and more difficult to compete as a mid-major or low-major DI school.
You could not have hit the head more squarely than this.  It is going to be very difficult for teams to maintain their level of strength and even more so to build up a program.  The disparity in the game has been widened considerably by merging two drastically different programs.
