Do we need a 3* WR in this class?
Right what do those idiot coach know, when you have guys on the internet to tell you who to recruit.
You want whomever your coaches want, particularly if they are otherwise putting together a solid class.
Those stars all you star gazers are star struck by are but one bit of information. Another bit of information is do your coaches want the guy. Coaches rarely take a guy they think has no chance to contribute just to fill up their roster. Another bit of information is the kid's offer and visit list.
The WR in question is ranked 3 star by 247 composite. That raises your question of course. He also has a pretty impressive offer list though I do not see Southern Cal or Stanford which makes one wonder. He has visited UND, Az State and Utah. That is a pretty solid list, two PAC12 visits and particularly getting a UND official. It indicates he might be a UF level student. He also seems to have official visits planned to UTn so someone else seems to think he has a shot at contributing in the SEC. As skeptical as I am of Mullen, based on the early signees he seems to be putting together a solid class. Also we do not yet know how much this staff really wants this guy. Heck this could be a strategic move to make UTn work harder to get this guy. You never know with recruiting.
See that is the way we non star struck and non star gazing fans evaluate a recruit. You need to evaluate this with recruiting service 4 star and 5 star recruits recruits as coaches around the country will know that some of them are not quite the prospect that recruiting services think they are.
