Where did this come from?... their 20, 21 yr old kids. They have ups and downs. They aren't consistant. That's why PJ talks about being 1-0 every week. Just look at college football now with the transfer portal, 4-5 major upsets every week.
Look at Phillip Daniels. PJ recriuted him as a 3 star. Developed into a starter. Transfered to OSU to be in the Bowl Championship Series. Blue Bloods have all the advantages.
MN has never had a 5 star recruit and why would you want to come here. To play in the Mayo Bowl? 5 star guys go to helmet schools to play in Bowl Championship Series.
I hate the AP rankings. Rankings should only be done by CFB in Nov, but TV loves the rankings so they can advertise big games during the season and get big TV ratings/viewers.
You win with players. According to 247 sports recruting: Ohio St 11 five star players and 56 four star players! Their 3rd string players are four star guys. Take a guess how many four star players the Gophers have?
