I am very biased to the situation, but I really believe this kid should receive a 5th * on 247. Am I missing something? Every part of his game is top notch, IMO. I've seen him play at least 10 times and he just keeps getting better and better!

Well, he has camps and a senior season to earn it.

Dude is terrific and I'll be thrilled to cheer like hell for him at LSU.


But, there is time. He is not certain to get it. But, he certainly MIGHT get it.

He could de commit from us and commit to Bama (silent to Les that he will re commit to us on NSD)then he would jump to 5 star stat.

He would get his 5th star only if he were going to Bama!

He's right on the cusp. It won't take much, but he just needs to get the rest of the way over the line.

It's gonna be hard for many skill players to get a 5 star. They are dead set on a bunch of lineman on both sides of the ball getting 5 stars. Seventeen of the 5 stars are on the trenches.

For reference, 9 finished out as 5 stars last year.

How many 5*'s are there in any given year? 40-50? I think he is a solid 4*. Is he really one of the best 50 players in the entire nation?

I see Guice getting his 5th star before Brosette does.

I don't care if the dude is a one star. If he is the best in the nation at his position, which he is, then I'll be more than happy to have him because that still means that everyone else is getting a worse back.

I don't really care tbh. He and Guice are elite RBs regardless what rankings say. Guice has elite explosiveness and Brosette has elite power. It's a true thunder and lightning duo.

To answer your question though, I think he lacks a 5* because he's probably not that fast. Not that IGAF about that. Who cares how fast you are when nobody can tackle you? I would say Guice shocks me at how violently he runs though. He's fast and explosive obviously but he seems to have really deceptive power. My concern with him is he runs so violent and pissed off injuries might be a problem for him in the future. I think Brossette just looks smoother running the ball. Like when he breaks tackles it's almost effortless. Guice is doing all kinds of jumps, spins and balance moves it makes me nervous seeing him take a hit...

Here is what he is fighting just on 247 he is ranked the 5th best RB in the country only the top 2 2015 RB's are 5 stars on top of he is ranked 53rd in the country and only the top 36 have 5 stars. So he is going to have to move up on both lists for him to receive a 5 star.
The good news is he has the summer and next year to do it.

In comparison 2014's class the 5 stars stop at the 32nd ranked recruit and the top 5 RB's all were 5 stars so he can do it, but he is going to have to move up the national board.

Speed, the separating variable on the field and in the recruiting rating system.
