Connor Lew was a composite 4* lil bro
Yeah, but his composite 247 ranking was 448, 89 rating. That's right on the border of high 3/4 star. That's more what I'm referring to, it's not like he was some sort of top 200 4 star.

There is no identification
Sure thing slick, so I'm sure there are no transfers coming up from G5 type schools starting for P4 schools that are in the playoffs right?
And I'm sure there are no players projected to get drafted in the top 4 rounds from G5 schools either right? Since there is no identification and all.
And even if that was true, which it isn't, so your take is completely idiotic, it wouldn't even matter.
If you think we are outspending the top spending schools or out recruiting Bama and Georgia to win you are quite frankly not in the real world. We spend enough on football to be competitive and have top 10ish classes on average, but it is going to take some good development and coaching for us to in any way compete with major state schools and big spenders consistently.

Just name the teams and years that have consistently competed for championships with high 3 stars.
Ole Miss has completed just fine for the SEC and the playoffs with mostly high 3 star type talent the last three years. They didn't have enough talent to win it, but they were right there the last three years. You definitely need a certain amount of 4-5 star talent to get over the hump, which they didn't have.

Once players excel or fall in P4 the HS recruiting ranking barely matters- if it even does at all. We might see some flyers on former 5*s that bounced around because of usually behavior problems but even then it's apparent they're no longer the 5 star caliber player anymore.

Exactly. You may get a few good 4 or 5 star transfers under special circumstances with coaching changes or if you really overspend for them. But if you are getting good players from the portal they are going to be typically be guys that were overlooked and coached up or that were late bloomers like a Dee Ford or Demarcus Ware type.

it's takes both. You need recruiting AND development. If you sign a class of 3* players in an elite conference like the SEC you'll (more times than not) fail. Texas A&M has as many 5* as anyone, but they scored 3 points today lol You cannot 3 star your way to a title and you can't just 5* star your way to a championship (without coaching). We all get this right?

You would think so.
