Agree. 3-5 3* guys are ok. I’m not too worried about 5* vs. 4*, but the roster needs to be loaded with them because 50-60% won’t be starters or stars. It takes 70 of them plus a few 3* finds to get a solid 2-deep, allowing for attrition of various types.
Honestly, 70 out of 85 is unrealistic (that's an Alabama, UGA, or Ohio State roster). We need to have 65% or so of our roster to be blue-chip. The "roster talent" research will come out after the summer enrollees show up in July (at most schools). I'll be curious to see where we stand (vs. our competition). We were around 15th last year, similar talent to UT.....but we had 6 or so rivals ahead of us on that list (UGA, FSU, LSU, plus the usual suspects: Ohio State, Alabama). We need to get into the top 10 in 'roster talent'.
