I know...I know. The staff knows more than we do...yada, yada, yada (they obviously knew more when they ran off T. Boyd, and chose Matt Simms over Cam Newton).

I know not all 5*s pan out, and that sometimes 3*'s do, but the law of averages conclusively demonstrate, that when you put a roster of 2-3*s against a roster full of 4-5*'s, then the former will lose 99 times out of 100.
With that being the case, I thought our recruiting standards had dropped considerably before Dooley started losing this year, and now with Cincinnati's staff being transplanted, it seems they've brought their usual standards in recruiting with them.
I'm trying to have a positive outlook on this, but every time I look at who we've offered, the only 4-5 stars are guys we already had some inroads with. I know CBJ must be looking at this realistically, but damn, Dooley had about a week to salvage our class, and still managed to pull in a few big fish (D. Rodgers and Hunter). It's pretty depressing to see all these new 3* star offers, out of nowhere.
If we do pull in any 4-5* guys, it will only be those that Thigpen or Martinez had been courting at Auburn. I'm hoping they do, but what does that say about all the staff from Cincinnati? It's says we have a longer road to recovering than I ever imagined.
