And then when a 2-star kicks arse in college they retroactively bump to 4 or 5. Like Felix Jones. NFL caliber player, recruited by no one. Then the services pretend like he was a 5 star all along.
Felix wasn't a 2 star, he was offered by Tennessee (back when that still kinda meant something), OU and others as a DB.
Similar to Matt Jones being offered by OU and several others as a WR.
McFadden was initially ranked as a 4 star athlete, many projected him to the NFL as a safety.
So that is 3 of our best players in the past decade or so who were all playing "out of position" here. Bert's recruiting thus far is getting enough talent to put these type of players at their position for best success here and in the NFL.

It's amazing how many guys were out of position during Nutt's era. Like basically all of the good players besides Jermaine Petty, Ken Hamlin, and Tony Ugoh.
