Definitely like that he already has the ideal weight for a DE.
Our trenches will be solid for a long time to come with these last couple of classes!!!Between Anderson, Bargy, and Harris this is by far the studliest group of DE I have seen recruited to MN. Welcome, MJ!

Welcome to 3[emoji294]U, Mr Anderson.
I am asking the moderators to ban the pest.

Just poking the Fleckites who loudly stated that Fleck was going to bring in great recruits that were far better than what Kill and Claeys were bringing in. Yet, Fleck brings in the same 3 star recruits as Kill and Claeys.I do not want Menno banned.
He's doing a bit. OK, maybe he's pushing it pretty hard, but it's still a bit.
Menno- help me out here. As I see it, your point is that the Star ratings have very little meaning, because so many of the players have 3-star ratings.
I agree with you. I've said before that the star ratings don't mean much IF you have to qualify them with "high 3-star," "low 3-star," etc. Just give the numerical rating and forget the stars. IMHO, the stars exist to help sell subscriptions to the rating services.
Ultimately, if this guy can play, the stars and the ratings don't matter. If he can't play, the stars and the ratings don't matter.

I have no problem with the recruits. I think it's what UMN can legitimately land. I simply poke the bear. Take my comments as such.

get this guy off of here. It's clear as day if you compare the number and quality of P5 offers that the recruits we are getting under Fleck are of a different caliber. How many times in the past did we beat Notre Dame for multiple recruits in the same class? We are also getting commits way earlier now and I'd venture we will end up with 2-3 more 4 stars after the senior season rankings are done.
Is it offers, stars, numerical rating, senior scholarships (offense and defense), upperclassmen, combine invitees, draftable players...
I agree he is recruiting better and on a higher tier but maybe not quite at the rate many hoped for (yet) and, it’s a team game played with dozens of participants. A handful of high rated guys may or may not pan out or be the difference makers we all hope them to be. Do we have a QB? Ultimately it’s - what, Imthe walrus - that determines the success of a coach? Some of these guys look really talented while others need to be developed and it’s just too early to say what will happen.
I'm in no way trying to say that all is solved or that we reach the level we all hope for, but to argue that we're not seeing a difference in his recruiting is also false

I agree. The star system doesn't matter...except to the Fleckites who promised elite recruits who would be much greater than any recruits we've ever had. Even now I read how the last two recruiting cycles are the greatest recruiting classes that UMN has ever had in the history of UMN.What is your obsession and put down of 3-Star players? This is a tiresome rhetoric we keep hearing from you.
There are more 3-Stars drafted in the 2017 NFL draft than any other star rated players. While 4-Stars and 5-Stars account for ~39%, there is greater probability that teams will find value in unrated, 2-Star, and 3-Star players. The vast majority of NFL rosters are peppered with former 3-Star players (I don't want to belabor the arguments about star ratings, but please see the article with the Seahawks and Patriots rosters used as an example).

Once the players get into college, player development and drive to be excellent are more critical than the shiny stars that players arrive with. Of course, there are exceptional talented 4-Star and 5-Star players.

Really? Some people actually think we are doing better than our national championship teams? It is to that subset of fans that I post my 3[emoji294]U references.
To the sane posters, you recognize that the star system is merely an arbitrary system and four years of teaching by excellent coaching can turn low rated players into NFL veterans.
So, take my comments as directed at the folks who struggle to think outside the star system.
