You're not so sure about what? If you want, show me on the tape where you see a two star player, and I would love to go over it.

 

But let's be real, you're not watching any tape or making any real prognostication towards Ronald's potential. You're just translating a star ranking to career and team outcome. Trust me, I want 5 stars at every position, but Nebraska needs who they have already, to sack up and get better. 

You're not entirely wrong, I did not watch his film.  But other power 5 coaches do, and they aren't biting.  I'm not staying that Nebraska needs every recruit to be a 4* player. High 3* players are very fine and can into solid players, but there's a reason this kid has offers from Kent St and the like.

Also, star rankings correlate heavily to success and identifying elite players. For example in the 2018 NFL draft, 57% of 5* we're drafted, 23.6% of 4* players, but only 6.9% of 3* players.  The 2017 class was similar, 65% of 5* players were drafted, 23% of 4* players, but only 5% of 3* players.

I guess you're main argument is that because I don't watch his tape, that I'm behind unfair.  Maybe I am, but I guess I trust offer lists and recruiting services more than Rose colored glasses on Huskerboard.  I want Nebraska to be successful as much as you do. I guess we just see the path differently.  

You see developing guess who might be under the radar, I see star rankings.

Our 3 star commits are identified because of high upside and a will to compete. From a physical standpoint, there is nothing that says "2 star" when watching Ronald's tape. He is also having an excellent senior year.  

I'm not so sure. If he has so much upside why are his only other offers from FIU, FAU, Kent St, and U of L?  Either Frost sees something no one else sees, or every other P5 program is right and they try to get better prospects. 

Just my take though.

First time poster. I don't want to rain on the parade, but are players of this caliber really going to make us compete with the elite of the B1G? 

Not every 2* player is a diamond in the rough. This sort of recruiting makes me worried for the team.
