    Please don't get me wrong, I do like the optics of looking like we are going to be a top 25 team. I just don't see where all the hype is coming from, I don't know recruiting all that much and I know there are a lot of guys on here that think star power means nothing. I am not one of those, and we have a lot of kids that are lower on the totem pole that what I would like. Even our 4 stars are extremely low 4 star players. This is reminding me of the early years of Butch Jones at Tennessee he cracked the top ten, but, his class had massive amounts of 3 star players, and well we see what happened with ole Buchy.

    Are the kids that we are getting currently under valued? Are we looking for them to get massive bumps soon?

    I mean we can sit here all day and say that star power doesn't matter but, there is a reason why Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State and the rest of those darlings stay at the top. Yes they have good coaching but, they get the best players in the country. They wouldn't be where they are with our recruiting.

    Please help me make sense of this!
