Recruit Lists v2.0

I guess I didn't realize that ISU was elite enough to turn its nose up to top 150 kids.
 
You don't take a commitment from him before you know what Diallo, Ellenson, Ahmad, and Illikainen plan to do.

Put it all together and what do you get? It's not that we're too elite and we're turning our nose up, but we're seriously in on some top top players that we're not going to recruit under.

I'll let the staff make evaluations. Not Rivals.
 
To be honest there are always outliers, but on average the 4 and 5 star players usually turn out to be a lot better.
I'll agree that 4&5 stars tend to be better, but the poster was saying we SHOULDN'T look at 3 stars. Hoiberg liked what he saw with Niang when he didn't have the stars behind his name & look what we got. I'm not sold on Bruce Weber, but obviously his staff did a great job of evaluating Foster - that kid did amazing things as a Frosh in a very tough conference. Perhaps the point is, we shouldn't OVERLOOK the 3 stars.
