What else can BB say to excuse Arkansas recruiting?

why's he need an excuse? we landed a good class and filled our needs with solid recruits.

bert has proven to win at a high level without all the highly ranked recruits. the super bowl teams just proved they could do the same thing

Wait are you telling me that there are more 2 and 3 star players than 4 and 5 stars? NO

ETA: Caterpillar made my point in a much more clear way than I did

looks that way

there's a lot of other leagues in the world (canadian, european, semi pro etc) these players could have ended up. but no, they were good enough to make an NFL roster

So which 2 and 3 stars? Seems Bielema is the same shitty recruiter that Petrino was.

THERE ARE VERY FEW FIVE STARS.

THERE ARE NOT MANY 4 STARS.

THERE ARE AN ABSURD AMOUNT OF 3 STAR AND LESS PLAYERS.

THUS, THE PERCENTAGE OF 4 AND 5 STAR PLAYERS THAT END UP BEING STUDS IN COLLEGE AND THE NFL IS MUCH, MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT OF 3 AND LESS STARS.

THUS, IF YOU SIGN ALL 4 AND 5 STAR PLAYERS YOU RAISE YOUR CHANCES AT WINNING BIG EXPONENTIALLY.

PEOPLE WON'T EVER UNDERSTAND THIS BECAUSE PEOPLE frickING SUCK.

Sorry for the caps lock. I feel like its the only way to get that point across

Oh look, another thread trying to excuse Bielema's shitty recruiting


If there's absolutely nothing to be positive about it, sometimes you just have to make stuff up.

This is what the Hogs are doing here, and I can't really fault them. I did the same thing when we were wallowing under Dooley. I feel their pain, and I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy.

When another 0-8 is staring you in the face, it's best to take a step away from reality.

Which 2/3 stars are going to be the super stars? You are using confirmation bias and hindsight to back up your shitty premise.

While they aren't everything the only people who say stars don't matter are the ones whose team sucks at recruiting.

Bret's job is to win games at Arky, not get players into the NFL.

they arent everything but they do mean quite a bit as far as statistical probability. Your OP, does not show the real depth at what is going on
