[QUOTE="Legal Jacket, post: 170063, member: 601"] If you are referring to me you've misread my posts in about every way possible. I'm not nitpicking, I'm not suggesting CPJ is cowering in fear, and I'm certainly not suggesting its wrong to rank us No. 16. I'm just defending this guys opinion that we are overrated at No. 16 - I don't think its unreasonable to think that, even if I personally disagree with it. I just don't see how its unreasonable to recognize that we may take a step back where we have to replace our best two WRs and 6 of our best 7 RBs. The fact is, stars matter. It's mathematically proven that a five star is more likely to make the NFL than a four star, who in turn is more likely to make the NFL than a three star. Same thing with all conference and all american. I bet you'd find the same thing if you looked at impact freshmen. The guys filling spots on our team are all 3 star guys. I'm glad they are jackets - 100%. But out of all of our freshmen we will be lucky if more than one is an impact player right away. Nobody is saying "doom and gloom," but you don't hear a lot of people saying we will reload this year, either. In terms of your examples, TCU was 7-6 and 4-8 the two years prior to last one, and before then not in a BCS conference, so let's not pretend like they have been lighting the world on fire the last three years. They have also signed seven four star recruits this year. As to Michigan State, they were 18th in recruiting ranks last year, with 10 four star guys. The year before they were 19th with a five star and four 4 stars. From what I can tell both have had significant better recruiting classes than we have the last 4-5 years. [/QUOTE]
