Who Needs 5 Star Players

Wednesday is national signing day across America.  The day high school seniors commit to what college they will play for.  UC is holding a press conference later today to discuss the class Brian Kelly and his staff are bringing in.  Before that ESPNU will be devoting hours of analysis talking about all of the 5 star players and rating the recruiting classes.   Tuesday evening in a signing day preview show even recruiting expert Tom Luginbill admits that ratings for high school kids don't mean a thing.

It's not so much the players, it's what the coaches get out of the players.  Brian Kelly said that last year and will probably say it again today.  The class that is sending 6 seniors to the NFL combine later this month was looked upon as the worst in the Big East 4 years ago, according to the experts and the rating system.  That last place class helped this football program finish first in the Big East this past season.  Bearcat Sports page.com will have complete coverage of the press conference later this evening.
