Again, why posters need to stop star gazing. That shite doesn’t matter
A high start rating doesn't guarantee a player will be great. Just like a low star rating doesn't guarantee he won't. But from a predicative standpoint the higher the star rating the more likely a guy will be a great player.
LSU had 5 top 100 HS recruits as freshmen last season
Perkins (5 star)
Wiggins (4 star)
Campbell (4 star)
Howard (4 star)
E. Jones (4 star)
I'd say the star rating for Perkins and Campbell were pretty damn accurate. Same for Jones.
There will ALWAYS be underrated guys that exceed expectations. But the more 4-5 star guys you have (like the ones listed above), the better your chances at being great. Otherwise, Georgia and Alabama would sometimes struggle, while Kentucky and Mississippi St would compete for championships with their (mostly) 3 star rosters. We know that isn't the case. So in other words, stars matter far more than they don't

For every Harold Perkins and Will Campbell there’s a Chris Faulk and Chris Davenport
I stopped caring about stars after Mathieu
Zy Alexander is the clear #1 cb this year and he was a no star

Campbell and Jones not being 5 stars is one of the most hilarious recruiting frickups ever

Definitely doesn't hurt to have top 100 guys.

But the fans at LSU need to stop with the overreactions because LSU absolutely doesn’t recruit at the Miss State / Kentucky level. It’s much closer to Georgia or Alabama.
As long as it stays that way, we will be able to compete if we keep winning games, have competitive QBs and persons to catch the ball, an OL and RBs who do their jobs. Same as the defense. You need a competitive DL a really good player or two at LB and a competitive secondary.
If we have that then we don’t need 5*s at every position. We get plenty of these guys throughout the roster to compete with anyone and we also cherry pick our 3* and 4* while also filling needs with competitive transfers. It’s not like Miss state or Kentucky where we have to recruit 3* guys that’s left over. We get the highly ranked guys and also cherry pick our lower ranked guys. Therefore it’s a completely different situation.
