How 5-Stars did as Frosh

They don't dominate. Obviously it's easier for skill guys to contribute early.
Lots of guys got injured because they played early.
Guys who don't redshirt get injured a lot more than guys who do, especially close to the LOS.
This is why it's so great that we are RSing our dudes.
But - the key point here is that it's rare for these guys to come in and do a ton. Most players only contribute in their second years. I think a typical 5-star career looks like Trey. First year? Ok. Second year, starting to dominate.
This year - guys like Tryon and Kirkland look pretty fucking good for this trajectory. Even Ngata, frankly.

Do 5 stars get injured because they play early, or because they go to USC?
Causation? -
