Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 2045277, member: 837"] I say this all the time and people hate it, but unless we somehow start landing 4- and 5-star kids by the handful in these classes, we just have to trust whatever staff we have and cross our fingers that we do OK in terms of academics and developing whatever talent we get. Doesn't mean we can't get fired up if we win a battle for a guy like DeVito or feel like we uncovered the next Jay Bromley or kept a kid like Doug Hogue in state. It's just that getting this program back where we want to be is as much about the numbers as it is the stars. These sites can tell you, for the most part, who the best of the best are, but ranking your 3-star OL vs. Purdue's 3-star LB is pure nonsense. [/QUOTE]
