[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 936328, member: 265"] I have and they do. Given your druthers every coach would have preferred to have a team made up of 4 - 5 stars. That said, there are two caveats: • You have to have a radar that sees the capability of players you can get and retain within the schemes you are using. The best examples would be on O during Paul's years. Clifton Lynch: a two star out fo high school who became ridiculously successful at Tech. Robert Godhigh: another two star who walked open and turned out to be a true rambling man, one of the best pass receivers at Tech for years. Dedrick Mills: a three star, but rated that for his skills at LB. Paul took one look and knew he had his second Adrian Peterson. There are plenty of other examples. • I'd be glad if Tech could get 7 - 8 4 stars a year. We'd be more successful. But such success can close your eyes to opportunities. An example: Adam Gotsis. Here's a guy who played US football on a club basis in OZ, of all places. Would you be attuned to giving him a look if you knew you'd get "proven" recruits anyway? Recruiting can ne very hit or miss. You can get players who look fantastic in high school and don't work out as well in college. If you go over to the 247 board and look at our top 15 recruits of all time you'll find that five of them turned out to be reserves or part-time starters. That's why I always want Tech coaches to recruit as hard as they can, but to have a nose for talent that is under the radar. Having a lot of recruiting assistants can lead to group think about the "kind of players we want". The kind of players we want are the ones who work hard to develop their skills and then get on the field as starters and deliver. I could care less about how many "stars" they have. [/QUOTE]
