Recruiting

[DynastyCat]

I can understand why some fans like the gratification of signing high-profile players, but it seems as if a lot of these type of players turn out to be busts.
Here are a few that come to mind.
Chris Boggas
Julius McMillian
Jerome Janet
Matt Boss
I'm sure there are a few who I'm missing, and I'm sure there are some blue-chippers who actually have panned out, too. But most of these players seem to be soft prima-donna types who don't value the hard work that it takes to win. I personally want a player who best fits the what the team is attempting to do and is willing to whatever they can to accomplish the team goals.

Just my .02 cents

Maybe that says more about Bill Snyder's recruiting than the attitude of four star players.

Snyder passed on Freeman.  Granted, it's still VERY early, but do you think he'll end up a prima donna bust?

Maybe Snyder was only able to land the 4-star busts that weren't recruited as hard at traditionally 4-star schools?

Saying 4-star high profile players are usually busts, I don't get it.

I could really care less about the stars behind someone's name.  There are many examples of 2* guys that make it to the NFL and 5* guys who don't amount to jackcrap. 

It's not about stars, it's about evaluation.  And we won't really know if Prince evaluated correctly for another 2-3 years.

Just a thought on Snyder.  If its true that he didn't want Freeman that just re-affirms my belief that it was definitely time for him to go.

Exactly. We put too much value in what these recruiting sites say.
