For as much hell as we give Mullen about recruiting, his bad classes have turned out well. The problem is there's still a huge gap between us and the top and the 2012 class is a single data point. We're likely to suffer regression to the mean for other classes.

I saw that. Gives me some hope for this years class.

The issue we have is signing 2 or 3 elite guys per class. We need a few really high level 4 stars or a 5 star player. Simmons, Lashley and AJ Brown would have done that. We have a shot at 2 this year now. McKinney became elite level, but I'd rather rely on the upper 4 and 5 star guys. Not an exact science overall, but with elite players I'll take my chances on their star rating.
