5 stars often think they’ve achieved all they need by getting that 5th star in HS and never get better in college. Give me 3 stars with a chip on their shoulder.


The hit rate on 5* vs 3* is worlds apart.

There is a reason why the teams with the most stars win the most games, generally.

Most talent Per 247
1. Bama 12-1
2. Georgia 12-1
3. Ohio St 11-1
4. Texas A&M 7-5
5. Clemson 8-4
6. t.u. 12-1
7. Lsu 9-3
8. USC 7-5
9. OU 10-2
10. UO 11-2

Teams with most 3*
1. Texas Tech 5-4
2. Stanford 3-9
3. Cal 6-6
4. Pitt 3-9
5. Indiana 3-9
6. Iowa 10-3
7. West Virginia 8-4
8. Arizona 9-3
9. Baylor 3-9
10. Michigan St 4-8

Does anyone do that? I think that would be the expectation on this board.

Yeah, isn’t it something like every national champion the last decade plus has had a top 7 roster when you average their previous 4 years or recruiting classes? That’s why it was so weird to see TCU there and I think their record this year (5-7) showed last year was a huge abnormality/fluke.

But it’s still frustrating that we haven’t managed a way to at least “fluke” our way into a title game since 1939….

I’d love to see who’s calling you a 2%er, because A&Ms return on athletic expenditures in the big 3 sports has been abysmal for decades. We absolutely should have more success with our resources, expecting better results than what we’ve gotten isn’t unreasonable at all.

Too many old Ags happy with mediocrity and that a 2-10 football season was successful if we beat the longhorns as one of our two wins. I’m hoping with the gap we’ve had since playing them, some of that mentality will be gone.
