re: Good article on this year's class -- the last two classes are similarly ranked

The difference is that the five stars we signed last year were immidiate contributors: Hilliard Landry Freak Collins to a lessor degree

But we don't need them to be immediate contributors. We are an extremely young, and deep, team.

That being said, Hill was widely considered the better back between he and Hilliard last year. One would assume he would be ready to contribute come fall. And while Freak and Landry did contribute, and I think they are both great players, they weren't superstars this year. How do you know that no one in this class will be able to have a similar impact to that of Freak and Landry their freshman years? Because they weren't 5*s in high school? I guess you have much more faith in the rankings than I do.
