Had to bump this because of this massive freak out going on about stars. I will add a little more flesh to what I mean.
Everyone of us want blue chip athletes. I firmly believe you can be a blue chip athlete but not be rated as such. We have 7 3 stars committed so man crying and talking bout Mario got 8 mill to get 5 stars and 4 stars. You are exactly right. He supposed to get the Baxters, and Wayne and Bain. What he also us paid is to fill out the rosters with players who are 5 stars or 4 stars that other people didn't see were that in 10th grade. Remember these recruits are 10th graders.
Every 3 star is not built the same ill break down each committ we have

There is a difference between 3 star players you are fighting Duke and Wake Forrest for and 3 stars with the offer list above. Also if yall notice pretty much all the players we brought in as 3 stars are technical position that demands high level coaching. OL, TE, LB, QB. But they have great room for growth and natural athleticism. What that mean? When they are 2,3 years under Feld, they wont b overmatched going against Bama players or Clemson players.
Seymore was a Diaz commit. Look at his offer list...I didn't even know he had them schools after him till I decided to dig. Most of this conversation is not being driven by people with good faith critique, its people who wanna troll UF and FSU on twitter and 247.
Make this clear again we are gonna get our blue chip players, alot of them. But there also blue chip athletes that are not rated that way. How can Mikeska have an offer list like that and he be rated the way he is? He is polished and got great athletics. He is not blazing fast so he is a 3 star?
If the blue chip rated players start going elsewhere especially players I thought was lean to us then you will have a basis for tripping.
Yall tripping on a guy who recruited 2 top 7 classes to Oregon and it's June amazing. Body types and athleticism.
