Let all the so called recruiting experts go back and re rank that 2011 class and see where we finish now.....

[M.Fillmore]

It would be interesting to rank college performance from one to five stars and then compare that to high school star rankings from four years earlier.

[Big4Dawg]

That 2011 class is impressive.

Preston Smith - 2*
Mckinney - 2*
Calhoun - 2*
Market - 2*
Malone - 2*
Robinson - 3*
Dak - 3*

[Coach34]

That 2011 class is impressive.

Preston Smith - 2*
Mckinney - 2*
Calhoun - 2*
Market - 2*
Malone - 2*
Robinson - 3*
Dak - 3*

wow...and to think of all the freaking out we had that Feb about how Mullen cant croot???

[Schultzy]

I'd say Darius Slay (NFL starter) and Justin Cox (big int last thanksgiving) both worked out for us from that list.

[Bo Darville]

That 2011 class is impressive.

Preston Smith - 2*
Mckinney - 2*
Calhoun - 2*
Market - 2*
Malone - 2*
Robinson - 3*
Dak - 3*


According to stars:

DE John Harris > DE Preston Smith
OL Nick Redmond/Daniel Knox/James Maiden > OL Justin Malone

Morrow and Dee Arrington are 4-star and Calhoun, Market, and McKinney are 2-star

Interesting. Guys still have to stay healthy, develop, and improve. Sometimes guys are over-hyped or under-hyped based upon location or school size. Some guys have fully developed at 18 years old, and others are still maturing physically.

Some guys are physically gifted but are terrible football players (Antonio Hargro). Some guys are not as physically gifted but are terrific football players (Kendrick Market)

2011 was impressive for our lower ranked players who became starts but our highest rated players were busts
