    You can't win a natty with WSU recruits as your building blocks.

    Or you can and just develop the players like what Petersen did at BSU
    This is something that people forget. Those teams with a few 4 stars sprinkled could have won a title.

    Another thing people forget is that if those roster had 75% 4-star kids they would've killed everyone.

    If your roster is over 50% 4star, you should be a fucking powerhouse.

    Check out the star levels for the CFP teams. The Dawgs had by far the fewest highly rated players. Which in turn means we don't have the depth needed to be competitive year in and year out on a national level yet. Keep adding more 4 stars than 3 stars a year and that problem will take care of itself.

    Prime Example: Nick Harris had a nice year but who did he beat out? Oh yeah right, nobody. Coulda used some extra depth / talent so we wouldn't be stuck playing undersized true freshmen. Or at the very least he's beating someone oit that can make him earn it. That type of depth will help is compete at the end of the year, once the season has taken its toll.

    You are right, but the starting defense, which was a championship level defense had only two 4 star guys.

    Budda and Qualls.

    At the end of the day, just win.

    I know Dennis was a fan of his. He's not as good as 247 says (I think they have him higher rated than AVT too). I'd rather have Ford and Norgaard, but if we miss on Ford I'd be ok with offering him. I agree he has good film.

    If DDY is out, I'm out.

    DDY's been out for years, where you been?
