Calm down, Law Donkey. Stuff that blown hemmorhoid back up your sphincter, and I'll answer your questions.
Q: How the hell does that balance the perspective?
A: Some of the more "frothing-at-the-mouth" posters here seem to treat a 4-star+ recruit who signs with Alabama as a can't-miss player who we should have gotten. The fact that Alabama has 4 out of the 10 players on this list should, in my opinion, balance that perspective brought by those posters to the collective perspective of the board.
Q: Because some of 5 stars flop and 98 percent of three stars flop we should be happy to land almost nothing but three stars?
A: Absolutely not. Never said it, never implied it, don't believe it. I want all the 5-stars we can get at every position, and, ideally, nothing less than high 4-stars for the rest of the class.
You didn't specifically name "the same people who clap while Butters makes us into Kintucky", but I get the feeling you've put me on that list. I am not happy with everything's Mac's done, but I remember the roster he inherited from chump. I'm going to give him credit for what he's accomplished so far, and I'm reserving judgment until I see the class and staff he has after NSD. If he gets a top 15 class with really good changes to the staff, I'm going to give him through the 2017 season to make something good happen. He's gotta slam meatchicken hard, though, in the season opener. If he doesn't have the class and the staff after NSD, then I want him replaced ASAP, but only with an out-of-the-park home run hire. Screw the costs. And - regardless of how he does, I want a f^cking helicopter.
