I would agree that there appears to be a disconnect. I would disagree if you say that the 2008 class is not that great. It appears that compared with classes going back to 2002, it's very good.
If the star rankings are accurate, then we are getting much better athletes on the whole than we have been getting.
Therefore, Bronco's doing a very good job at recruiting.
It also seems that whether it's because they're better at evaluating talent, or better at getting production out of their players, Bronco and BYU have done a very good job the last 2 years, relying primarily on lower-rated players to propel the team to two top-15 rankings.
Or maybe the stars just don't matter as much as you think, like Bronco says.
