Recruiting Rankings

[unt_rocket09]

Are people starting to trust that maybe SL knows what kind of kids he wants to recruit?  There are measurables kids are "supposed" to have to play D1 football and I get that.  There is also something to be said about being an actual football player.  Fine has it, Lawrence has it, Bussey has it.  I heard SL speak at a coaches clinic last winter and he talked about team culture.  That is why he kicked the cancers off the team.  Team culture and finding guys to fit your system cannot be emphasized enough.  We arent going to get the 4 and 5 star guys, but we are going to get the 2-3 star guys that have the "it" factor.  The rankings might not be where you think they should be always, but there really isnt much difference btween a 2 and a 3 star.  Just bored on a Monday!

Sort of like the difference between a "B minus "and a "C plus" in math?

Couldn’t agree more. Gary Patterson at TCU talked about this before they were in the Big 12. They would find pure athletes that were maybe 2-3 stars and would plug them into the positions needed. Result?  Won many conference championships, numerous bowl game victories, including the Rose Bowl. These coaches (Littrell and Harrell) are fantastic at knowing the talent that fits this system. Future is bright! Go Mean Green
