That's a good haul. 13 four stars...doubt we'll see the likes of a class like Oregon's anytime soon.

the Ducks have amassed a 24-man group, highlighted by 13 four-star pledges
Star chasing has never helped Baylor or the programs it competes with for recruits.
Players like K.D. Cannon and Andrew Billings say "hello".
Literacy says hello right back to you.
Go back and read, slowly this time, sound it out if you have to.
Go back and take a look at who has been winning NC's over the last let's say 20 years and give me an example of one that did it with primarily 2 and 3 star recruits. Just because UT and aggy have had HC's that squandered a lot of their 4 and 5 star recruits doesn't mean it doesn't matter. I get the developing the "hungry" 2 and 3 star recruit scenario and I also realize that CAB (whom you love to trash) in his brilliance won back to back Big 12 titles with primarily developed former 2 and 3 star recruits. Briles is "a unicorn" as others have described and for all of his great accomplishments even he didn't get to the biggest stage without a plethora of former 4 and 5 star recruits, although I'm convinced he was
about to start getting enough of those types to get us there if he hadn't been needlessly blown up by our brainiac leaders that you love so much.
Are
some 4 and 5 star recruits a bust? Sure they are, but if you play the odds you're clearly going to have a
much higher probability of success if you're getting those kinds of recruits in significant numbers and it
does make a difference. Take a look at that list of NC winners. Read it slowly. Sound it out if you have to.
