Was Stan Emptemann a 5 star? That's what I thought
Although the 91 champs did have the highest ranked classes in school history. Funny how that works
We actually are in the midst of the next great bumper crop
Every 30 years UW wins a natty. Allegedly -
The '88 class, which built much of that NC team, was actually considered mediocre, as I recallRaceBannon said:Was Stan Emptemann a 5 star? That's what I thought

The answer is yes, quite easily. With a lot of 4*, good scouting and development, it's not that unusual to get 5* performance out of 4* and a few 3* guys.
UW has done it as recently as three seasons ago. It wasnt overperforming 3* guys coming back down to earth against elite competition that derailed that team. Guys like King, Jones, Gaines, Vea, Pettis, and Gaskin held up fine. It was a couple of key injuries to a thin roster and a lack depth players with 4* physical characteristics surrounding the elite guys (most of whom had been 3* recruits). Plus a weak OL and QB. -
As I recall, the big get in '88 was Mike Lustyk. Stan Empermananann was a two starRaceBannon said:

(Hoffmann told me that the players referred to Emtman as "Empo")

TOP DAWGS
A look the Huskies’ best recruiting classes of the past 30 years:
1988: Best of the best: Steve Emtman, Lincoln Kennedy, Mark Brunell, Mario Bailey, Dave Hoffmann and Jay Barry, to name a few, helped pave the way for the most dominant period in program history.
That's a great class
Hoff is going to get you
