5 star recruits? Who needs them

Considering I don't see teams with 20th ranked classes winning National Titles I guess it's pretty important... Just because Texas didn't get the right personnel and looked only at stars doesn't really help your point any.

 
Wasn't really making a point. Was just starting a conversation with a sarcastic comment. To me the star ranking it just a way to over hype these kids with pressure. Some can handle it some cant. There are plenty of 2-3 star kids doing much better then alot of 4-5 star kids.

Take the stars off the kids and just recruit them.

 
Ratings are one thing, actually playing to that level once in college is another. Could be that the player was not evaluated well or the coaching at the college level was the problem.

For the record, I would love to have a few 5 stars come in every year, even one would be nice.

I know this thread was started kind of as a joke...but seriously how hard is it to grab the concept that you want to get the very best guys all the time.

I do not believe these rankings are perfect and blah blah...but here is what I know...if LSU wants a guy...so do I...if Bama wants him...me too..if FSU offers him...I like the idea of an offer...

So if it is the schools that offer that make the recruit get ranked higher, fine...if it is the other way around...fine...just get the best freaking kids you can.

I really believe that for MOST positions the coaches should look at a kid and ask two things:

1. Could he compete for playing time now

2. Could he help us win now
