My opinion only, but I couldn't care less about stars [which is what I think many posters get hung up upon]. Bailey / Smith / PTG are recent examples of quality RBs who were "only" two stars yet proved to be outstanding college players. Does it diminish Bailey's capabilities that he was a two star instead of a three star recruit? Does it matter that Bailey "only" had offers from Army / Navy, in terms of how that translated into his on-field production? Doug Hogue was a 4-star RB prospect, but couldn't even get on the field consistently until he switched positions.
 
Yes, I'd prefer to get more highly rated recruits. And I'm not worried about Witter, because I think there is still a very good chance we land him. But I think you are underestimating that we have a staff of strong recruiters--especially our OC--and I am confident that they will land players who are capable of excelling at SU. The RB position is not bare, and they WILL bring in a high quality prospect, whether it is Witter, Domer, Philips, or some other player who's name we aren't familiar with right now.
 
I'd be a lot more worried if this were January and we were having the same discussion, instead of August 1st.
