re: 3* ATH Tae Provens (Madison Co/Alabama) Commits

I recall O saying the day (or maybe the day after) of his hire that he was gonna go out and get recruits regardless of their number of stars. He said something like we are gonna go out and get 2, 3, 4 star recruits; if they are hungry we're gonna get 'em.

While there is a contingent here who likes to make the point that stars don't matter, I must say that I am a little confused and perhaps concerned. Our top recruit will probably switch to Georgia leaving us with Joseph at no. 46 nationally. The other 18 recruits are outside of the top 200 (more specifically top 232). Stars-wise this class looks nothing like the Miles classes and more like well Miss. State last year for instance. But perhaps stars really don't matter and classes like this one will finally help us compete with Alabama.
