I agree there are good 3 stars that bloom late or go unnoticed and there are busts that are higher rated but the fact of the matter is that you can't base your whole class off of diamonds in the rough...you have to get some of the big names too

 

[Memphisvol87]

That literally has nothing to do with any other three star recruit.

I already had this argument. Apparently since he was a "well known 3 star" it doesn't count.

[99gator]

how many times does the poster (name not recalled) have to post recruiting rankings and win totals before it begins to sink in?

there are many ways to skin a cat. as has been used as evidence numerous times recently, louisville beat florida.

but, the reality is teams that recruit higher rated players usually have better football teams

Bama playing for its 3rd title in 4 years laughs at this.

Rankings don't mean that much for one player. They start to mean something when you aggregate them over a class of 25 guys. And by the time you aggregate them into a running four-year total, they are damn near destiny.

 

[Aesius]

Ed Reed - 2 stars

Victor Cruz also a 2 star recruit.

Tough to argue with any of that.

That's only because he donated the other two stars to the United Way.

High school QB's from Texas don't count IMO.

He was actually a 6* and gave the third so we may have the Sun.

 

[Vols4life]

boise state has a fine program...I don't think they have ever had a 4 or 5 star

That's like comparing plane wrecks to car crashes. More cars on tha road dontcha know?

 

[Catbone]

Stars are only educated guesses that are more often than not correct. Obviously there will be a few that under perform and some that overachieve ...

How many NCs they have?

 

[Defaultuser]

How many NCs they have?

Exactly. Weak conference, and they play 1 or 2 tough games a year, not almost every week.
