Who's next a no star or a 5 star?

Do we have to read both articles before commenting in the Fraggle thread or is that assignment optional?

easy to be a no star kid when you came out of high school before there was a star system.

Good lord. Talent evaluation are a lot better now than they were in 1987.

Dang, even the Sumerians used the star systems. How old IS college football?

Recruiting rankings were around long before the internet. It's just that about 5 people followed recruiting rankings.

I never heard of recruiting rankings until I started going on the internet in 1999. And it wasn't until about a year ago that I realized recruiting rankings have been around since at least the 1970s. I kind of assumed that recruiting rankings had begun around no earlier than about 1995.

Everything is optional including criticism, just found them interesting since they were written when they were starting at the U. But don't waste the 5 minutes for a slow reader if you don't have the time.

You know I’m just playing. What’s important to note for me is the ability to evaluate talent regardless of rating. We had that in a big way back then with those coaches.

The two dimensional aspect of the internet really limits creativity. This thread would be awesome as a popup book.

Does Manny Diaz go onto canesinsight.com as fraggle?

I think its Mike Rumph

Rumph: I was a 4 star and I turned out to be the biggest bust in 49ers history. I better never sign anyone higher than a 3 star, otherwise they may turn into a bust like me.

CIS should do a monthly limit to the amount of threads that can be started by a poster.

Internet and the camp circuit have really increased a recruits visibility to levels far beyond years back. Years ago, you had to build relationships much deeper than today and when that coach had an up and coming player, they would reach out. Still happens, but the availability to see the kid is in an instant.

No reason why we suck. Rumph has only been signing 4*s since he's been here

It was a joke. However, your statement is also not true. He has not "only signed 4 stars". No, he is not the only reason why we suck, but if he was able to land better talent at CB our secondary wouldn't get shredded as often.

I was joking too, but autocorrect got me. Meant to say "No wonder why"

My bad I thought you were saying something else. Auto correct got me confused.
