How do they know how these kids will turn out three or four years from now? I put my trust in Hud and crew.

Well I agree that nobody is an average, or a median player, coaches jobs are to make those evaluations.

There is probably good justification that maybe Mississippi is not as deep as it normally is. Louisiana is very deep on the top side this year. That does not mean players not being four and five stars are better than or worse than normal in the count.

These articles usually refer to elite players, and those just below elite. I would not be too concerned about the rightness or wrongness of this writers view.

We shall agree to disagree.

I love to follow recruiting, as well as dissecting film of individual recruits. And after doing so for many years, I can tell you that it's nothing but a "crap shoot" until three or four years are done.

Anyone who claims he/she can accurately discern how good or bad a 17 or 18-year old will be before the youngsters complete three or four years against top flight college competition physically, mentally and emotionally is at best, prophetic, or at worst, a damn fool.

I love Boomer as much as anyone, but have the sneaky suspicion that he may have led a far more famous, fulfilling life as an astronomer due to his fascination with "the stars!!1"

---I think what is really needed is a star out------We make a list of the UL players and see their star count during recruiting days and see how well they perform---For instance check out B-Way , Harris, and McGuire ---pretty good all conference players----All 3 starish---but then comes Huval and he is only a 2 star--but more higher stars will make the All Conference team then the 2 starers!!!

Pretty sure McGuire was a 2 star
