Here is a list of some major contributors to the Huskies’ College Football Playoff team: S Budda Baker, DL Vita Vea, WR Dante Pettis, CB Sidney Jones, S JoJo McIntosh, DL Greg Gaines. They were part of the same class and back then only Baker was considered a top-300 player. Safe to say this group turned out to be much, much better than No. 7 in the Pac-12 and No. 45 nationally. Baker and Jones declared for the NFL draft, while Vea and Pettis also had reason to consider an early jump.

Budda for example was going to flip no matter what.
Sure, some kids are underrated, etc, but in general star averages are good approximations of how well you did vs your competitors.
Everything else is coaching.
It makes no sense to NOT rerank classes based on performance, that's how you know if your evaluation processes are working or not.
Pete's are.
The problem with relying on stars because they reflect interest is that there are differences in how coaches evaluate. Pete watched the same film as USC on pili, you don't think it makes sense to check in in a few years to see who was right?
Consider yourself warned. Do it again and you are gone. No warning.....just gone.
Brandon Pili sucks right now, if he gets good at USC it tells me they coached him up really well.
I love all the guys we got late, they are all really talented kids and with the way we coach they should develop great. But I can still wish we could've seen them coach up the elite guys that we missed on, that's all.
Sidney Jones is a great example. We didn't have to fight off USC or Bama for him. We were his best offer. A couple years of coaching was not the difference between him being a bust and a first round NFL prospect. He had that potential from the get-go. Lake gets "recruiting kudos" for recognizing that.
I mean, if a kid has ZERO P12 offers they might hold off until signing day.
But Haener has zero P12 offers and we could've had him at any time and we offered him early.
