Seriously, does it matter or is it just fools gold?
Because to me, there's no doubt that It matters when it's clearly reflected on the field and in the rankings!
However, for the past few week's I've called in to several streams and podcasts only to be told that the star system is broken and insignificant.
By the way, I get that some fans feel like several of these sites have lost credibility but my source is 247 sports not RIVALS.
On another note, I can almost guarantee that someone here will be bringing up Butch Davis and the 3 star over 5 star debate.
Therefore, I want these people to comprehend that there are 100's of 3 star recruits compared to the 32 5 star players every year.
I'm not saying to stop recruiting the 3 star kids but, I do ask for this coaching staff to aggressively pursue the players who are best at their respective position.
If we continue to allow Alabama steal the best guys available it's going to get harder and harder to compete on a national level.
Listen, I can easily make a case if we don't lose Evan Neal (A Miami Legacy) to Bama we are potentially 4-0 right now. I say this because there's an obvious weakness on our team on O-line especially, at the left tackle position. Excuse me if you disagree, but I'm bringing in cold hard facts that you have to acknowledge are true. The teams that are in or that at the very least in the discussion for the C.F.P are all teams dominating the blue chip ratio right now.
Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Etc.
Listen, you can tell me whatever you want about Washington State with Mike Leach, UCF with Huepel and Frost, Boise State, Iowa, Utah and whoever else you want. But your argument will be back to square one when I say these programs claim fictitious national titles and they don't win their power 5 conference championships. Hence, I will continue to say that we must start bringing in these ELITE recruiting classes and combine them with great coaching to compete at the national level again. And believe me, I know the value of great coaching! You can have all the talent in the world but if you don't have the right coaches (USC, FSU) you wont win diddly squat. Reality is they both matter, and you have to have both if you want to compete for a shot at the CFP. So, to conclude my post I would like to put this staff on notice that a good start would be to beat Florida State and Florida for these blue chip players.
