For All The Star Whores who keep trying to convince others that system is legit, lol, GTFOH!

It’s not the stars, it’s the schools. For some reason Miami doesn’t do well with five stars. The last ones that live up to or exceeded their hype was either Kenny Phillips or Graig Cooper. If you look at FSU they have signed like 43 five stars in the last twelve years and only about 40% have been successful. Then schools like Bama, Ohio State, and Clemson who have high success rates with five stars. Just never forget Willie Williams.

Flawed and imperfect are fair descriptors of the ‘system.’ That doesn’t mean it isn’t also directionally accurate.

’Star whores’ is a fair descriptor of people who place uncritical faith in the ‘system’ and its pronouncements, and fail to understand its flaws and imperfections.

“Stubborn retards’ is a fair descriptor of people on both sides who cannot see why independent evaluations are critical, but who also fail to see why an imperfect system can still contain useful information.

Cooper? Wow.

He didn’t have a 5* career at UM. And Duke had a better career, as a 5*, after Cooper.

No player rating service is going to nail it every single time. There is usually a correlation between the teams that have the most 4-5 stars and winning though.

What im really saying i already said and been saying, you got many people on here who post non-sense based off of these nerd recruiting sites giving unjustified class rankings based off of a flawed star system. And tgen they bash coaches, then alot of those same people are now bragging on Greg rousseau and use to stick their chest out about garvin, both were 3 star recruits at one point, people on bashed the recruiting and wasnt respectful to guys like them coming in. Most on here need to STFU, and just let **** play out, now they bashing dj ivey as if that man is a trash db, lol. He stays healthy, they'll see come next season why he out their, people gotta realize, he was out their with all 1st time full starters, nobody to correct em or double check with em, and communication was flawed, 3rd year in, stay tuned, for him and AL! If anybody beats any of those 2 out, they're going to have to be close to elite!

I get it, but you're not going to get idiots to STFU. Might as well treat it as cheap entertainment. It is kind of like taking the kids to the circus. Its amazing and sad at the same time.

Did you say Graig Cooper lived up to the 5 star hype? Did you watch the games?
