And for every Chris Faulk and Chris Davenport there are a dozen players Willie Allen, Sci Martin, Jakori Savage, Tae Provens, Zach Sheffer, Dominic Livingston, Kevin Spears, Maquedius Bain, etc, etc. 3 star guys that never saw the field.

You remember the Mathieus and Justin Jeffersons and Jacob Hesters of history because they beat the odds as low ranked recruits. But years and years of data has shown that the more 4-5 star players you recruit, the more likely you are to be a great team. If "stars didn't matter" teams like Iowa, Ole Miss, Pitt, Missouri would be competing for NCs every season. They aren't. It's generally the same teams like Alabama, Clemson, Ohio St, Oklahoma, Michigan, Georgia, ALL teams that recruit a ton of blue chip players, that are in the mix.

There are 20xs the amount of 3 stars as 5 stars so I’m not getting your argument here

You’re acting like lsu signs a bunch of 3 star players, which they don’t, so I’m not sure what’s your point in saying those teams don’t compete that does.

Lsu signs probably 75-80 percent 4 star guys. The posters here act like a class full of majority 4 stars, like this 2023 class, is a failure.

I’m making the point that it’s not.
