Pretty sure a 3* just won the Heisman. But he wasn't a take for us. We don't like 3*.

And a former 3* QB was just voted First Team All-SEC as a freshman. From what I've seen a 3* with a 5* will to win will beat a 5* with a 3* mentality every time. Case in point Big John Kelly vs. Jalen Hurd.

This may be correct but you will have a much lower chance for a 3 * to rise to the highest level than a 4* or 5*. That being said, I am not one to expect only 4's or 5's. If a young man wants to come to UT and give his all I want him here.

Didn't know Freak was running a socialist site over here, where we're not allowed to have differing opinions.

Y'all commies better enjoy your christmas movies (whether they're entertaining or not) while you can before they start censoring what you can watch.


Heil Big Orange!

Sure there are plenty of 3* out there that have a ton of upside and potential that can turn into great college players, but statistically you have a great chance of competing for championships with 4-5* players across the board... you certainly can't make the case for a team full of 3* this day and age making it to the playoff.... We all know that developing the 3* to their full potential is the key, and that begins with the coaches, and we know that this has been a big issue at UT the past few years with kids coming in and not progressing and being developed to their full potential... IMO, with the current staff in place, we cannot expect to get to the next level with a team full of 3*..........

He had to at this point. The article has been out there long enough to gain some steam and create a lot of questions. That does not mean that the article was irresponsible and factually incorrect.

I'm not really on the Butch train anymore (never really was from an in-game coaching perspective), but the claims made in that article just have no legitimate basis.

I prefer Rivals. Some prefer 247 composite which I think is bogus.

Some prefer whichever gives them the ammo they need to complain.

Rivals is still hanging on OK. I pay more attention to 247's own ratings rather than the composite. It's just harder for people to notice their own ratings because they advertise the hell out of the composite.

Snickered sounds like the sissy British way of saying it...PC is gone to far when you can't use a legitimate word that has no negative connotations.

It doesn't say it has to be a particular site though. If you take into account ESPN, Rivals, Scout and 247 regular rankings and look at all our commits it paints a different picture than 20 3 stars. So technically we have quite a few 4 star and above players

By my count we have 11 commits that are at least a 4 star in one of the four main sites.

Chandler, smith, locklear, Labruzza, Bailey, Reid, Ignont, Henderson, bumphus, gray, Bennett

SIAD: Did anyone catch the Wake Forest story? There were questions when they played Louisville about how Louisville knew what they were running. The University did an investigation and their radio guy was selling their game plan that opposing teams I guess. I caught the tail end, but this was pretty much what they found from what I heard.

Ya, and on top of it he was a former Wake player. Leave it to Petrino to leave copies of the plays in the Wake visitors locker room to tip them off. I wonder if the guy sings how much trouble petrino will get in?
