Message: [QUOTE="anomander, post: 808741, member: 2766"] Sure star systems factor in production, but it's based a ton on potential. Being able to develop talent is crucial in football. If you give the best coaches in the country kids with the highest ceilings they can develop into teams that look like Alabama and FSU. This Syracuse roster is all 2 and 3 star kids. Even if we maxed out all of our potential we still weren't touching this FSU team, same with Clemson or Alabama. Look at the size and speed of FSU's wr's. Look at the size and speed of Clemson's linebackers, and secondary. FSU's entire DL is the size of John Raymon, but move like linebackers. There just isn't any way to compete against a roster full of 4 and 5 star kids who are developed properly. They are just too big and fast. Factor in that they are schemed properly and you have a top 5 program. [/QUOTE]
