    How many 5* did Sark have?

    Depends on whether you want to use the Dawgman-inflated Scout.com rankings. Shaq was universally considered to be a 5-star. Kasen and ASJ were 4-stars.
    This.

    And we paid 500k + a boat for Shaq.
    Kim and F3 got Chris Izbicki rated as a 5-star for gods sake.
    You are giving Kim and F3 way too much credit. Scout know that they are idiots. They don't do the rankings.
    To be clear, I don't think that those two do the rankings. What I do think that they do is pressure the guys who are doing the rankings to inflate a ranking here or there in order to create some buzz and sell subscriptions. All of the team sites do it.

    To add to this, the Chris Izbicki 5-star ranking was one of the most transparent examples of ranking inflation. I still see fans of other teams who follow recruiting mention it on occasion when talking about how retarded that Scout.com is.

    I know Chris a little bit and played against him. He was never anything special. A solid high school player, nothing more.

    Fetters wrote articles on a kid from my high school team that was a third string TE who never caught a pass. He said the TE oozed potential. He got a two star ranking because he was 6'4" 220 and went to Barton and another regional combine and ran a 4.8.

    Zach Banner was another head scratcher. He had tons of offers too. I know he was huge and had great bloodlines, but I saw a 5'10" 200 pound kid from White River dominate him all game long. The kid from White River had like 3 or 4 sacks and a handful of other QB pressures and tackles for loss. At least he had some potential and started for USC, but I was shocked he was rated for high. The #11 ranked tackle should be dominant imo.

    I don't recall Chris Izbicki ever being a 5* and his final scout rating was a 4* (which was clearly pushing it too).

    Kavario Middleton was the only 5* Tyrone ever got.

    Cody Bruns as a 4 star will always be one of my favs. Another F3 classic.

    Go look at the #1 team in the nation right now (Mississippi State) and check out their recruits from the past classes. Most of their key contributors are 3* players
