What fan base said this?

F the ratings. All of our initial guys are 3 stars. That's plenty good. The ratings are skewed towards the 4 and 5 star guys. Get a couple of 4 stars and you leave Xxx in the dust. Has worked out great on the field for Oregon the last 4 years. Plus, when/if we sign a couple of non rated guys (like some JC's are, or unknown's like the Pasco guy) our rating plummets. Shahman for instance, is unrated - so that's a "0" star and knocks us down a few notches in the rankings.

Would I like to see us sign 25 4 and 5 stars every year? Of course. Are the 4 stars really that much more talented than our 3 stars? I'm sure some are, but others......? And would all these 4 and 5 stars pan out? Well, let's see. How many of them transfer because they aren't enshrined the day they set foot on campus? How many quit their teams before bowl games, leave early, etc? How many simply don't pan out, period? How many are all about themselves, rather than their team?

So yeah I'll take our class of solid 3 star guys any day.

LOL "The ratings are skewed towards the 4 and 5 star guys" part.


Its almost like if you recruit and sign better players you get a higher rated class.

Coog. Then when they get their back blown out by UW again next year they will complain they don't have the ammo to compete. Then signing day will come and they will rejoice about all the diamonds in the rough they just signed that will turn out just like the other losers who they just complained about.

Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
