It is used as fodder when we don't "lock up" the state of MS or people that claim this year's class is deep in talent. The last time I checked, we rose to #1 in the country (albeit it was bit of a mirage) with the talent we signed and it wasn't a bunch of 5* kids.

I think we could all agree that the level of talent our staff is bringing in is head and shoulders ahead of where we were 10-12 years ago.
So our level of recruiting was good enough to get there but fall short in the big games. I want to take the next step and I think we are. I just saw where Ealy is now a composite 5 star.
