Stars are a fan thing and a coaching staff should never take it into account and should dismiss it.  It's like PFF numbers.  Stuff for fans to discuss that really doesn't mean anything.

This seems pretty revisionist overall.  Devito could play at this level and started in the NFL.  He brought in Trishton Jackson as a transfer (NFL camp WR).  Saying he stumbled on guys (Tucker/Allen), we can both admit is shaping something to your assumptions and saying Gadsden is a recruiting win while arguing stars isn't supporting that.

If looking at only stars, per 247, he got Qadir White (4 star), Enrique Cruz (4 star), Neil Nunn (4 star), Trill Williams (4 star) and Tommy Devito (4 star).  The success rate of those guys kind of shows the risk in recruiting solely off stars.

Dino left the team in a better spot than he found it.  Obviously, there were deficiencies, but taking over a 6-6 team in the ACC is better than almost every new Syracuse coach since the move away from P.

Fran is going to get raw measurables and ability and trust he can mold it into a football player at the HS level, then go into the portal for those kids he liked out of HS that become available.
