I've bought people I've never met before tickets to games and I constantly get called a troll.

It is extremely frustrating to read some of the stuff you put out there, man. I get that UT football is important to you and that's fine, but we have good coaches and if they say the 3* DB down the road at Alcoa High School or Clay County or Bucksnot or Milan High or Collierville is good enough, that is ok with me. They coach our boys up and the ones that don't get better we help find a better place for them. The program has been turned around literally over night. Enjoy the process. Worry less about the raw material and bask more in the glow of the finished product. Go Vols.

Back on topic....

Y'all reckon we are done or are we waiting for prime time to let loose another barrage?

Though with slightly different bents, D4H and Nationdom are really kindred souls. They should date each other.

I like 4-5*'s too, but I also saw what Shoop did to us with a bunch of 2*'s while he was at Candy. I'll take the positivity of so many quality players wanting to be at UT. Better than the alternative...

Good lord just when I think things are going back to normal with the Grey pick up, Butch goes on a 3* spree. Why is this accepted here? UGA and Bama are stacking 4s and 5s and we might as well be 3* U. Wtf.

I gotta think many of these guys will get recruited over or bumped up. We have to Win 10 next season and Butch will get some Big Time players.

Hmmmmm. I would say that my point is....That there's more three stars in the NFL than 4 or 5.

There's a 1,000 3 Stars every year. There are maybe 270-280 4 & 5 Stars every year.

Sooooo what's the relevance again?

You'd think that if the mensas that award stars knew their shizz, a higher percentage would make it on NFL rosters? :idea:

That those numbers suggest you're much more likely to recruit 3 stars in the beginning? And yet people manage to whine about it every year?

Well that's my takeaway anyhows.

Would that be "having our cake and eating it too"?

I never fully understood that expression...who has a cake and doesn't eat it?

You usually have to share your cake. Maybe only get one piece.

Right now seems like we got a 7 layer double chocolate fudge pudding cake with thick cream cheese orange frosting sprinkled with crushed orange rock candy and with Orange and White M&M's spelling out BOOM! for everyone.

Actually there was some interesting analysis posted a couple years ago in this forum. Can't remember what thread.

5 Stars are essentially a 50-50 coin flip of making the league.

This is off memory, but the breakdown was essentially:

5 Star - 50%
4 Star - 33%
3 Star - 8%
2 Star - 2%

Was an interesting analysis to show the Star system was nothing more than a "predictor" of success, not a guarantee.

Edit to add: They used the 10 years of Rivals rankings from 2002 - 2012 for the data set.
