[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 914385, member: 265"] I've always liked average stars better as a way to compare recruiting classes. The overall rankings are a product of the number of stars and the number of recruits. One reason Bama and Ugag ranked so high overall is that they usually get very full classes because they chase athletes off. One reason why Wake's are so low is that Clawson stockpiles players and develops them. (Btw, I know everybody chases athletes off; it's a matter of degree.) Paul's classes often had average star ratings higher then many teams "ahead" of them in overall rankings, mainly because he was like Clawson and liked a junior/senior team. But, yes, Ugag is recruiting very well today; they've gone all in on it, something that Richt, to his credit, never did. But, as was just mentioned above, no recruiting advantage lasts forever. Further, you don't have to recruit with Bama to beat them. The problem there isn't, I think their recruiting advantages, but their coaching. Saban is a right good country football coach and a good recruiter to boot. Makes him hard to whip, but watch what happens when he retires in a year or two. Same with Kirby. These things run in cycles. I can remember in my college days when it looked like nobody would ever beat USCw. Then McKay left and they've never gotten their mojo back. [/QUOTE]
