You're giving him way too much credit.
Deion has no interest in implementing a years-long recruiting campaign because he knows he won't be at Colorado long. Personally, I think this is all a ploy to a) land the Dallas Cowboys head coaching job when McCarthy is inevitably fired, and b) to get his son drafted to the team of their choice (also likely the Cowboys).
I think even you are giving him too much credit.
Hearing him talk, he doesn't have a grand plan. He's just being himself. He genuinely believes his brand should sell itself, and he genuinely believes the best way to recruit is to sic your best players on other players, like LeBron (or whoever) recruits other players to play with him.
This is just who he's always been: flash and sizzle. The difference now is that he used to just be able to rely on his talent to get away with the jawing. He has much less control of what happens on the field now, and I see this whole experiment flaming out terribly once his kid and Hunter are gone.
