Honestly I don’t see much difference in being 3rd and 5th in the recruiting ratings. What, that means a one or two of your players had one more star?
If you went back after 5 years and ranked them, it would draw a much clearer picture.
How many of those players get injured, transfer, flunk out of school, don’t make it because they were overrated or get just get beat out by another player on the roster?
That is why recruiting ratings are basically a joke. Understanding that they make for great conversation and each program needs to sign quality players but you don’t really know about a class until after they have exhausted their eligibility.

I think the difference is in elite, instant impact type players (generally 5-stars).
Kirby is about to have 13 or 14 of them on campus. That doesn't guarantee success, but the odds of those guys being somewhere between solid starter and elite player are very, very high compared to 3/4 star guys. The statistics are very clear there.

Yeah, that’s not even close to being the case here.
Kirby had more 5*s in his 2018 class than Richt had in his first 3 years in Athens combined.
