144% agreed!!

First off - Syracuse has pretty much NEVER gotten a 5*.
There are only a very small # of those in a given year, and the overwhelming majority go to the handful of top factory schools.

Going back to FHCSMFS and then Dino, we typically only got maybe ONE 4* a year.
IF that.

And for Shafer, all of his very few 4*'s were academic and/or character reaches, who either never made it to campus, or didn't do much if they did.

I think Dino's best class had both Tommy Cutlets and Qadir White as 4*
White was, sadly, a total bust.
I remember flying back from the Camping World Bowl, and he was in the back seat of the plane, and I couldn't get over what an absolutely enormous human being he was!!!   He literally had the entire back row of 3 seats to himself, and still looked like he was stuffed in there uncomfortably.
Just a massive dude in every respect.
But I digress...

Anyway - griping about this current class is absurd.

Fran and crew have earned the right to do things as they see fit, and they are all elite recruiters with the track records to prove it.
They know what they are looking for, and clearly they think the kids they have signed have it.

I mean - last year, Davien Kerr and Maraad Watson were both impactful players as Frosh, and neither one had high crootin' rankings or a ton of impressive offers.

Let Fran cook.
