Question for recruiting experts...

[VolMaster14]

Just curious out of the five uncommited 5 star players left on rivals, do we have a real shot at any of them? I noticed we are on all five of their, college choices list. I'm not a star gazer, I'm very happy with where we are in recruiting right now. Like I said, just curious where we are with remaining top talent.

IMO the only player we have a shot with that is a 5* is Bellamy.

How much of a shot do you think we have with him?

So you dont see any shot at Kouandjio?

 

[mooreaj21]

Right now I would put it low, but if he does come in for the visit & we have a good game we could really make some ground. Especially with Arnett, Martin, Couch, ect.. being in his ear.

 

[sspineda]

No shot at Kouandjio (or however you spell it).

Some people seem to really like our chances with Bellamy. If he makes it here this weekend, that'd go a long way. Bellamy seems to be the only 5* we have a remote chance at, but crazier things have happened.

He is a Bama lock.

Very true, hope CDD pulls another Da'Rick outta his hat right before NSD like last year!!

If you're not a star gazer don't create these threads. If you are, like I am and everybody else that is on Volnation (yes, you are!), then hell yeah, as long as we're getting a visit from them, we stand a chance!

If we get any more 4 star or get a couple 5 star players then great! If not, I'm not gonna cry and belly ache about it like "YOU" will!! I'm very happy with our current recruiting status considering all our program has been through. I'm curious about where we stand with top talent, I'm not banking our class on getting all the 4's and 5's we can, I'm banking on getting the players we need and I'll take the coaches evaluation over yours! If ya dont like the thread then dont open and comment on it sport ilot:

You're confusing me with somebody else. "YOU" or me in this person would not belly ache over not signing any more 5 or 4 star players. I think we need to sign 27 or whatever it is players who will enroll and stay here for four years. The best we can get because we don't have enough players to practice even. But, yes, I am a star gazer. Why the hell else look at this site or rivals or scout? We'll sign 25-27 players. You just want to look at the position? Do you watch the videos and break 'em down or something? Do you have a chart with their 40 times and their shuttle time or something like that? If you do and you can rate 25,000 players on your own time each year, more power to you. I don't. I look at the stars and hope we get the ones with more stars. If we don't, I hope we get good football players who will win games and represent. That's about it. OH, i like the ones with personality too like DA. eace2:

Maybe we can get another Bryce Brown and Chris Donald.

Im not saying getting 4's and 5's isnt a good thing, just sayin the coaching staff isnt gonna offer to kids that arent great football players and dont fit their system. And no I dont have charts and no I dont have time to rate 25000 players, thats what our coaches are for and that was my main point. If the coaches see something in 3 star players, then I'm not gonna complain about signing them.

But it isn't like our staff isn't offering 5* or 4* players; they're offering them, just not landing them.

True but it seems like we are on alot of the 4's and some 5's list. Who knows, maybe CDD & staff will land a couple.

One out of five is pretty good.

You honestly are going to get into the 5 star debate here. More 5 stars end up studs than duds. Most 5 stars become stars on this level and the next.

One out of five was not a debate. It was a fact. That's all I said. Not arguing anything else.

Better than one out of every fifty 2* or 3* guys.

Bottom line is the whole argument that this staff isn't pursuing QUOTE "overated" 4* and 5* QUOTE "trouble makers" is completely false. They've offered tons of guys rated as 4 and 5's this year.

I have not stated one argument against getting 4* or 5* guys. I was simply pointing out that we have had some absolute duds of 5* players. At UT in the past decade, Our 3* and 4* stud/bust ratio is probably a lot more favorable than our 5* stud/bust ratio.
