So why didn't you use this same line of thinking in regards to lesser ranked prospects with nice offer lists?

I think I'll trust CRB's judgement with recruiting. Lets not forget people were questioning him on Grant Williams, who's offer sheet was... App State, Charlotte, Hampton, Mercer, Princeton, Rutgers, Texas Tech, Wofford, and Yale.

Or

John Fulkerson: App State, Ball State, Bucknell, Clemson, Duquesne, East Tenn St, Florida Gulf Coast, Garnder-Webb, UGA, High Point, MTSU, Navy, Samford, South Carolina Upstate, Unc Ashville, Winthrop, and Wofford.

I'm not sure of the origin.
I used to know many years ago, but I've forgotten most of what I used to know; more and more brain cells dying off every day.
I'll look it up again when I have time.

Here's the only thing I could come up with on the fly:

"As the Oxford English Dictionary says, the proverbial phrase and its variants mean that “the efficacy, quality, etc., of something can only be shown by putting it to its intended use.” But the saying often appears in shorthand as “the proof is in the pudding.”"

The OED being the be all and end all of all things related to the English language, I'll take their word for it. As far as I can recall from what one of my old college professors told me, the phrase originated in old England sometime around the Middle Ages. I believe it was a reference to the printing process.
