Meyer and Blythe were both 3 star recruits...or at least they were by signing day. But your point is valid, Meyer and Blyte more than lived up to their 3* ranking while Hicks and Flynn didn't live up to their rankings as much (even though they were both pretty good players). It was the JUCOs in that class that were the huge disappointments.Quote:

Just goes to show how much we can twist these ranking to our benefit.Quote:

Not blastin, because if you look right when we got several current recruits, they either were low in stars or not at all, and as soon as the commitment was official they at least go to a 2* commit.
Could it be Rudell Crim????
Thats exactly the point I was making.Quote:

I would love it if both of these guys are on defense. For all the talk of our O-line needing help it has played decently the last couple weeks with several injured players. Plus, we have almost everyone back and some real promising youngsters.
We need the help on D! Could use Jucos at all positions except CB, but need DEs, LBs and safeties the most (unless we move a couple CBs to safety next year or Butler is a stud).
would have to guess one would be Money Reynolds and the other its hard to tell.
I'm not sure how many stars Tyease Thompson had but he is currently in Story County Jail. I wonder why a guy from Louisiana(?) is still in Ames several years later? It must be the weather.
What a shame, that kid was a serious talent.Quote:

Marlon Lucky will play on Sundays. There is a lot of people that still like him.Quote:

Dobbins and Hicks were both JUCO guys and their stars are never even close to correct.
You all may say that stars don't matter, but THERE IS A REASON we are 2-8 and have been gettnig 1, 2, and 3 star guys every year. While teams like Texas, USC, etc. get 3, 4, and 5 star guys every year and are sitting 9-1. Stars do matter. Not all 4 and 5 stars hit, but more 4 and 5 stars become studs than 2 and 3 stars.... there is a reason for that.
