I wish we'd be able to sign a couple of 4 stars, a 5 star would be ridiculous. Thompson was a 4 star and look what he was capable of doing his 1st year playing (I know, RS freshman). I don't expect us to go after every stud athlete, but going hard after some would be nice.
Play calling can make or break a team with a lot of decent athletes. Sometimes it takes the 4*/5* players to create plays when the play calling sucks.
I also believe top athletes will help to draw in other top athletes.
