My impression is that Grobe was able to find hidden talent/diamonds in the rough before as you say recruiting evolved. A lot of gold filtered through. Once recruiting coverage became more comprehensive, that haphazard technique became less viable, and he and his staff never developed their already undeveloped practice. Pretty much the same as what you're saying, clearly, but I think his lack of focus was just fairly feasible early on rather than having had any particular insight or talent at it. They always commented on how they didn't care about "stars" or "awards" -- "all solar system". Like they had a certain disdain for the whole operation.
