Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1196349, member: 289"] Then there's that Texas team that had 44 players who were 4-5 star recruits and got blown out by a BYU team that had only 9 of them. Star ratings are snapshots of what players are thought to be at a particular stage in their development. Obviously if you get more highly rated guys you have a better chance that some of your guys are going to turn out to be really good but there are no guarantees. Also football is a sport where an outstanding player like Jim Brown at running back, McNabb at quarterback or a Dwight Freeney at defensive end can elevate the teams. By the same token, an inadequacy at those positons can bring down a team fully of highly rated recruits. Would it scare you if our next game were against Texas, Michigan or Florida? I wonder how many four star guys they have. [/QUOTE]
