This class is a MUST

I realize that rating stars for recruits do not mean all that much - just the opinion of someone who probably does not follow recruits at our level all that closely. Furthermore, a player may not be ranked highly, but may fit a coach’s scheme exactly and thus may be the ideal recruit. None of the three commitments we have thus far are ranked higher than a 2-star, but that does not concern me too much. After all, Marcus Johnson shows as a 2-star.

Regardless of all that, we do not have the option of having an “OK” class this next year. It has to have both quantity and quality. Wes is reputed to be a good recruiter, and he needs to prove it, because the time is now. If we have a good season this time, but then we whiff for two or three years in the future  because our recruiting was sub-par, Wes will be looking for a job not too far down the line.
