Yeah he is the perfect example. Another problem with the star system is that recruits with a higher rating usually get the benefit of the doubt. People kept giving Winston time to develop just because he was a 5 star, even though he sucked every year.

That's true, but you're talking about ONE example.

Take them as a whole and percentage wise 5*>4*>3*

That's just simple logic.

Of course you're going to find outliers on either end to point at say "see, told you"

It's no coincidence that the teams that are CONSISTENTLY in the top 10 recruiting rankings are also consistently in the top final polls. Once again, of course outliers can be found.

That being said, I'm not sure Arkansas can ever be a consistent top 10 school in either list, nor do we need to be.

We seen what Petrino was able to do here with quite frankly subpar recruiting. If Beliema can even slightly improve the recruiting and win at the same pace, we'll be more than alright .
