The ratings are flawed in many respects - they are based on junior year video, plus summer camps, and rarely updated for development or senior year performance. Some regions are covered better than other regions.  We can all cite examples of recruits who were over rated or underrated by wide margins.

Still, there are reasons our staff sends out 200 offers to highly rated recruits, who have good measurables (speed, height, power) and high school performance.  We want these blue chips - they would fit our system (or any system) just fine.

We were successful this season, because we had senior leadership, multi-year starters, and good players in key roles. Dungey at 6ft 4 had great measurables and was the #2 rated QB in his state.  Robinson was a 4 star.  Guthrie was a juco all-American.  Pierce was a highly rated juco. Custis at 6ft 5 had great measurables and decent speed.  Moe Neal put up serious numbers in his high school career.  Servais and Heckel were among the top OL recruits in Wisconsin.  We did not have a fair share of 4 stars, but our 1s weren't some bunch of lightly recruited white chips.
