Stricklin comments in context:
"We all see every year, we realize the only thing people focus on is those rankings and the number of stars kids have next to their name," Stricklin said. "And every year after signing day, people go back and look at previous years and all the five-stars that you never heard from again and all the two-stars or three-stars that were just kind of afterthoughts on signing day who end up being big-time players."
"I came from a place at Mississippi State, we signed a three-star quarterback out of some small school in Louisiana named Dak Prescott," Stricklin said. "Now look where Dak Prescott is. Then that same signing class there were two or three five-stars that were the gem of that class that you never heard from. I think there's examples after examples."
"Just as important as being able to go out and sign kids, you've got to be able to identify talent, and really good coaches I think can do that and trust their own evaluation. So we don't necessarily trust what some recruiting guy says is the right guy."
