Doesn't every team say this? When you buy into this, you're not only buying into that Bronco and staff are smarter than the recruiting services, but also that they're smarter than every other college staff.

If you take ten 5 star guys and compare them to ten 2 star guys, which group would you bet on having more future NFL guys?

Stars do matter.
Stars matter. The odds favor the coaches who can recruit more five star athletes.

However, BYU will never sign a boatload of five star athletes. And I believe by most of BYU recruits being in low profile areas, their rankings will be lower than if they were in high profile areas.

BYU would certainly improve if it could recruiting better athletes, not that its athletes are bad, just that the BCS upper level athletes are better.
