re: Mason Taylor was a 3 star on 247. I did not know this.

It is all about selling subscriptions with these recruiting services. Don't get too caught up in stars. Players get extra stars based on who is recruiting them, and where they go to high school. You get an extra star just for Notre Dame looking at you hard. You get extra stars just for certain physical attributes as well. This has been talked about before on several radio shows I have listed to over the years with Mike Detillier and other scouts.

You really don't want all 5 star guys. A boat load of 4's is best, a few good hits at 3, and light sprinkle of 5's.

LSU as had many complete busts at 5 stars and many super 3 stars.
