Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

They are talking about added stars... anyone?

No, they just updated stars of the recruits we have.

Randall now a four, and Mariota is the #43 QB now.

TK what were they before?

Randall was a 3 star, and #17 QB I believe. And Mariota wasn't ranked.

Andre Y dropped from #7 to #16. And Coleman stayed the same.

I don't remember what Kamp was before though, sorry.

Kamp was 3 star... note that they've changed AY's position.

Andre was actually moved from the #9 guard to the #17 tackle. Not sure why the move for him in their rankings.

Somebody must have noticed that Andre failed to give the Fuskies proper consideration.

Me neither, not to mention he deserves a higher ranking at tackle anyway. #17 is criminal.

Not sure of about the specifics this year, but generally there is (much) more talent at the OT position than OG. If this is holds true for this years class, it would make that Andre would move down in the rankings as he is being measured against better players.

Am I the only one who care less about the stars and more about the player. If they can play, they can play, who cares how many stars they have.

obvious

For sure, but stars are fun. I'd much prefer having all 4-5 star recruits than all 3 star recruits. It probably won't make THAT big of a difference in the end, but it always makes me feel better.

I think that it helps most casual fans (i.e. those who don't follow recruiting) know the Ducks got a good player. People on this board probably know how good he is so it doesn't matter. It's just the outside perception by casual fans that takes a hit by players being downgraded. I wouldn't be shocked to see some of our players upgraded over the course of the recruiting cycle so that it evens out in the end.
