You do realize that our coaches know a hell of a lot more than the recruiting services about how these kids project in college. Approximately half of the 5 stars have never paned out since the early 2000's. For that reason alone is why everyone should take these rankings with a grain of salt.

One can not argue with CEO's and Robinson's results in recent years.

I'm going to have 100% trust in Aranda and his D boys to know what they want, recognize it regardless of stars, and go out and get them. He has a track record that one can see.

The remaining question is Canada, and CEO in relation to the offense, to be able to know exactly what he wants, get them, and use them. I have hope and faith in this aspect. Still in a little bit wait and see mode. If some of these 3*'s are making an impact of offense in 2-3 years I'm convinced. Until then, I'll cautiously reserve judgement.

One can definitely, without a doubt, argue that the ranking services are good at predicting who the best (not the good, but the best) are. They have a track record of finding the future NFL'ers.

Yep, Bama spits them out to the NFL and plays for championships; so does tOSU.

At the same time UGA, USCw, and LSU spit them out at equitable rates. No none have played for championships. There are way too many moving parts to say NFL talent = Champion/Playoffs. LSU is the rule that proves the exception in fact (if you take look at us over a broad enough time span, say 5 years).
