I bet there is a lot of behind the scenes talk like, "Commit to [university name here] and I'll do everything I can to make sure you go pro like I did for [insert names here]."
Calipari made his entire career off that, and Nick Saban so to an even greater degree. Just like Meyer, Saban isn't widely regarded for his ability to develop QBs, but skill position players and linemen from Saban's programs are amazing. Meyer also contributed a large share of top talent to the NFL, so its not like his system is devoid of development.
