Someone posted about the number of 4* players on the field from last game. Our defense has a crazy high number of 4* recruits playing this year.
Kaufusi
Rowley
Fua
Stout
Langi
Bills
Warner
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I know stars aren't everything, but these guys were recruited and offered by the top programs in the country, so we weren't the only ones who saw talent/potential.
It just seems that a lot of highly recruited players are either not living up to expectations (Apo), haven't been developed or coached properly, or are still too young to have a huge impact (Warner).
