In another month or 2 we will have added an additional 2 4 star players and at least 1 (probably 2) of our current commits will get upgraded to 4 stars. Stars do matter, but the jump from Alabama to an Auburn or A&M type program in recruiting is much more accurate than a jump from Auburn/A&M to MSU. The results between these teams over the past few years bear that out.
