[QUOTE="geaux321"][QUOTE="detroitpistons0"] Yeah he caught a break there. Michigan doesn't recruit many people under 4 stars... Unless they see things that others don't... Or that they were on the brink of becoming a 4 star but didn't.
But I still can't believe Michigan got a 2 star DE out of today's class to commit. What a waste of a scholarship.

So giving Mike Hart who was a 3-star player was a waste as well?
Some of Auburn's best players have been 3 "stars" or less. Ben Grubbs (starting in the NFL, oh and he was a DE), Will Herring (most career games played at Auburn, now plays for the Seahawks), Courtney Taylor (one of the better receivers AU has had), there are quite a few more starters (7 or 8 ) that have 3 or fewer "stars".
By the numbers.

I'd say Auburn does a good job of getting the best out of their players.
You left one school out of that list (they are from the WAC so what). Boise State. Yeah yeah they didn't play anyone blah blah, but keep in mind no wanted to play them. Side note haven't done the research on it yet, but I would go as far as to say BSU has been rank higher than Auburn at the end of the season couple of those seasons. (don't quote me on that though)
