Its complete coincidence that the top 10 in recruiting year after year are the ones winning national championships year after year

I think you are missing his point and the point of the article. He is not saying that we shouldn't sign highly recruited players. That would just not be intelligent. What i believe he is trying to say, and the article was trying to say is that just because someone is ranked high doesn't mean they are going to pan out. Also, and this really applies to a lot of people on this board, just because we don't sign EVERY SINGLE 5 STAR OR 4 STAR RECRUIT doesn't mean they are going to pan out and become all-americans. If you look at some of the 3 stars and even 1 2 star (jacob hester) we have signed over the past years, they have actually been good to us. And it is really amazing that the same number of 4 and 5 stars have not panned out for us. So i think he was trying to say that we sholdn't get our panties in a wad about these 17 year old kids and just let them play football and understand that some of them are not going to be the next jerry rice or joe montana.
