How does a top 15 player in the class only have 4 stars?

We could never get these big defensive guys. It was a big reason why Dino went to the 3-3-5 defense.

How does a top 15 player in the class only have 4 stars?

It varies from recruiting service to recruiting service, as far as I can tell, but I don't have a definitive answer to your question. Sometimes, the top 15 to 20 guys are 5 stars (in hoops or football), other times, it's fewer, say the top 5 to 10, whether we're talking about On3 or elsewhere. Either way, top 15 is impressive...

Pinch me, I'm dreaming. The players we are currently in the mix for in this class... Never in my life did I think I'd see it.

If he is ranked in the top 15 on any site, eventually he will be a 5 star on that site. Bottom line, if we can land this young man, it will be a huge step. Calvin Russell, as well. If we can get these two guys and a number of other 4 stars, this 2026 class will be the launching point.

Probably because he has real interest in Syracuse...

Sadly, that's probably true. I have seen on some sites, Calvin Russell is not listed with interest in Syracuse. By all accounts, we are in his top 2. That is some shoddy "reporting".
