With the transfer portal options that now exist.. I don't see this at a risk at all. So many 4 star and higher athletes are transferring these days. Seems now, if recruiting competition in the room exists that players not getting the starts just take their talents elsewhere. Frustrating to me so I kind of like the idea of recruiting developmental players. Build the depth. Build the team bond. Build player trust and see the fruits of your labors shine.

I can see the value in that for awhile. Once you start piling up wins we will need to recruit better to get to CFP level

I think he’s gonna take the last spot at DE from Buckley. Leaves us with Savea, Weaver, & Tobin. Tobin may be rated low but he does have a very interesting frame to work with. Not too many kids have a 7 foot wingspan at 6’4. They are gonna finish with some nice pieces to end out this class though.

Recruiting is not complicated. If he was good, his offers would be better. 

Too many of our recruits this class are developmental. Despite Frost and his class struggling to develop anybody.

This developmental mindset isn’t very bright when you look at the new average rating of this class. With the new ratings + additions I think the average star ranking may rival or topple last years. How many true freshman actually play crazy significant snaps? Not a ton. Most will need a year just like last years class. 
 

If the argument about better offers was also 100% true Wisconsin, NW, & Indiana would be terrible. It’s somewhere in between.

Man.. I don't know you, I've never spoken with you so I'm probably totally off here but it seems you're more interested in taking the program down than supporting it. It appears to me (again, I've not spoken with you) your hatred of Frost out weights your ability to be a fan of the program.

Not in the least.

I'm just not going to celebrate every low-rated recruit and assume they're the next JJ Watt.
