Message: [QUOTE="anomander, post: 624275, member: 2766"] you may not care, and a lot of posters may not care, but don't doubt for a second the actual players really do care. Van got it right by saying it is all about perception. If one highly rated recruit commits it makes it easier for the next. If you have a highly rated qb, it will make it easier for some highly rated WR's to say they want to come play with him. If there are a bunch of 4 star guys it's a lot easier to join that class then it would be for a lone 4 or even 5 star kid to join a group of NR, or 2 stars. For most of these kids it is the first (and maybe the last) time these kids are being covered like this. Most of them love the attention, and the accolades that come along with it. The higher the star or the rating the more the accolades. Sure most of us realize a 4 or 5 star kid doesn't guarantee successful career, but it definitely helps the perception of the program. [/QUOTE]
