Yes he has. But you act like CBJ is the only coach in the country to be offering 3* players. Even your love interest, Gruden, would sign 3* players.

Everybody signs 3 stars but the teams that we are trying to compete with get plenty of 4 stars and even some 5 stars...The entire class can't just be 3 stars unless 5-7 is our goal every year..

Butch Jones will have to beat the SEC big dogs with 3* players, gents. That's a fact. That's just the way it is. And good/very good coaches can do that. That's how programs are built and/or turned around. Look at Louisville--though I noticed they've got some kids from Miami--and look at Oregon and any over-achieving team/program. It's the coaching. We aren't going to win recruiting battles for 4* and 5* players who are being chased by the SEC big dogs. We might steal a couple of 4* if Jones has a couple of stud recruiters on his staff--and I'm not convinced that he does--but generally we've been crappy for 10 years. A generation of kids knows UT only has a crappy program. So Jones will have to win with 3* players--that is precisely the challenge. If he can find a way to win some big SEC games and get the momentum going in the right direction again, then we can start competing with the big dogs for the big dogs. But it will be all about coaching for the next three years. It's the same challenge that Dooley faced.

Keep in mind that a lot of the lesser programs that have got better have done so because they started running the spread. Look at texas a&M: Mediocre for 20 years; change coaches, install the spread, find a good spread QB, and a team expected to be terrible beats bama and expectations, and the freshman QB wins the Heisman (does anyone really care that much about the Heisman anymore?) I don't even know what offense Jones runs, but he and his staff will need to be big-time coaches for us to climb back to the top. Let's hope they are.

If some of you can't figure out why posting the same thing over and over in a thread ten times gets deleted, I'm not sure I can help you.

Winning makes getting those 4* and 5* players a lot easier. Until we start winning, it is going to be a big fight to get those higher rated/ranked players.

i watched a video of this kid's team against another team...he gets beat a bit in pass blocking...needs to work on feet bad...real bad. but, could be molded hopefully. not a tackle and maybe a 2 year starter. maybe. likely a one year starter.

Are you saying that this guy is not Michael Oher with better feet and more strength like the sunshine pumpers will lead you to believe?

When did I say that???? You talk like Wiesman is a waste because he is only a 3* and his offer list is not as long as your arm. His and Manziels are about the same. Which means you can`t judge a book by its cover.

What makes you a great analysis? Not being smart just want to know.

The fact is the there is a much higher percentage of 4 and 5 star players drafted than that of 2, 3 and zero star rated players. The counter is that the % is skewed because there are so many more 2, 3 and zero star players in college. That however misses the entire point! If stars did not matter why are Bama, ND, A&M, Ok, LSU, Ga, Fla, FSU, OSU, USC, Texas, So Co, etc going after these so called 4 and 5 star recruits year in and year out.

The kid that just committed may turn out to be a good player, a great player, an average player or a bench warmer - no one knows. But his offer list is not great.
