*** 2019 Recruiting ***

I've said since the beginning for specified college offenses like Frost's the star rating is less meaningful. Of course you don't want a team full of 2/3 stars, but the Pro Style kids out of HS get way more attention. We are locking up the local talent now, and will get a few big names once OV's hit this fall for live games. Take a deep breath boys it's only June.

I agree completely about the star ratings. A system like Frost can take a 3 star kid that has the raw talent and speed equal to a 5 star kid. He may not be as polished as the 5 star kid, thus why he is a 3 star- but Frost's system doesnt need them as polished. He just needs that raw talent and speed and put it in space and let it work. Teams with a more pro style system need that polished kid for their structured system.

If that claim was true then Wisconsin's recruiting rankings would be much higher and there would be teams winning national championships who weren't always in the top 5-10 of recruiting rankings every year.

 
Is the overly dramatic commitment video era over?  I haven't seen one of the recruiting services tweet one out in quite some time.

I think after some of these kids committed to like 3 different schools it lost its luster.

I was thinking the same.  And hopefully that is the case

I think we were wrapped up in our crap season and the quest to get HC Scott Frost, so we just weren't seeing the video commits. I suspect they'll be back in force as signing day gets closer.

 
Random note that may only interest me:

The current average star rating of our commits is higher than the final average of Riley's 2016 class (.8725 vs. .8686)
