Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 4429309, member: 40"] Nobody dismisses it. Everybody recognizes the value of star ratings, and how that translates to performance [espcially for elite teams pulling in top classes, it's a bit murkier when the ratings trickle down to three stars]. What people "dismiss" [using your word] is when they see the player far outshoot their rankings with on-field play. That happens regularly on the defensive side, where "average" recruits have catapulted into all-conference caliber NFL prospects. It hasn't happened nearly as much on the offensive side of the ball. But this notion that we are recruiting poorly is bunk. [/QUOTE]
