That is all I am looking for. In the last 10 years, how many percieved 4/5 star talent has signed with us? I never said we are going to be an SEC like recruiting program, but to bring in a highly touted recruit, especially early in the recruiting process would pay dividends with those upper 3 star athletes. To help DM down the road, we need a couple of marquee players is all that will attract other good talent along with it. Example, land a Kamara type, and you just might give a huge boost for some of these kids down the road. Somebody mentions 4/5 star athletes on this site and you all over react. I say DM has the skill and the coaching staff to attract these type kids, don't under estimate him. And when I say 4/5 star talent, I am talking real talent, not what some recruiting site is promoting. But, like it or not, these kids look at these ratings and do care about it. My ideal recruiting year would look like this 20% 4 star or better/60% 3 star/ 20% JC or develop players. I don't call this unrealistic, and I believe that is what we need to go towards the world of being a contender. We just haven't been able to get close to that yet and when you don't have that level of athlete on your bench, where do you see it the most? I'll tell you...special teams. Can't play your starters out there because you don't have the depth to replace them. It is not a coincidence that special teams has been a trouble spot, and maybe its not the coaching. I do agree with your hind sight on 1/2 star talent, for the most part.
