re: 5 stars committing early

Why exactly does it matter when they commit? So you can brag on the SECR about it? A. O is killing it in recruiting whatever the timing may be, and B. if anything, having top guys commit to us late is advantageous because it screws over the teams who were still in the running and holding out for those guys. We’re fine, take a deep breath

Very true, but just remember, it works both ways...

Because why wait if they want to be apart of this class? Besides you never answered the question on how Bama and Ohio State are getting them to commit early. As another poster pointed out yea you can screw teams over by stringing them along but it works both ways. I’d rather have them commit earlier and put my efforts towards players who are uncommitted/ on the fence.

Bad logic. It screws over us also. Only works if we end up getting them. Also, it does help build momentum.

I'll tell you something else. If Orgeron gets no five stars, but he gets a complete class, I'd bet it's a better class than Bama's higher rated one. I would not have said that two years ago, but I see it now.

It helps the recruiters to identify what needs are left and focus their resources accordingly.
Having top players committed helps with other recruits. Top players usually want to be part of a top class, and getting them early helps get the snowball effect going.
