Five-Star Recruit
I was bored, as usual, and decided to start looking around the Big 12 commits on Rivals. One thing that struck me was Oklahoma's recruiting class. Now yes, they are certainly having an easier time recruiting and have more 4 star players, but take a look at there class. They have a SIGNIFICANT portion of their current class that are ranked at 3* (68.4% to be exact). Here's how our current classes compare percentage-wise by Rivals ratings...
Oklahoma 19 total commits
http://oklahoma.rivals.com/commitlist.asp
5* - 0%
4* - 32.6% (6 out of 19)
3* - 68.4% (13 out of 19)
2* - 0%
Nebraska 16 total commits
http://nebraska.rivals.com/commitlist.asp
5* - 0%
4* - 12.5% (2 out of 16)
3* - 75% (12 out of 16)
2* - 12.5% (2 out of 16)
Now, am I suggesting that we have as good of a recruiting class as Oklahoma? Not at all. I've seen people on here and other boards, though, that say that Bo is focusing too much on the "diamond in the rough" 3* player. But, when you look at Oklahoma (a potential BCS Championship contender), they seem to be darn heavy in 3* recruits as well.
Just something to think about.
