Absolutely.
As good as this staff is at identifying and developing material what could they do if they did a semi-decent job at recruiting it.
I look more at who's offering a kid than I do stars but generally speaking people that point at xyz 2* that's a stud and abc 4* that's a bust are missing the point which is that # of stars are proportionate to success. More 5* pan out than 4* than 3* and so on.
And our recruiting is and has been at the bottom of the SEC making it all the more difficult for us to favorably compete in spite of it. The fact we're having a good year doesn't detract from that. There's years upon years of data w/ respect to recruiting that spell it out.
