Love this comment, doesn't matter how many stars you come in with but how many you leave with.

True, but I do think there is a correlation between the two. Not a perfect one, but one nevertheless.
Having said that, I think the Harbaugh/Shaw regime has done a very good job of taking non-heralded recruits and turning them into excellent college football players.

Why is it assumed that just because Mike Farrell or Tom Luginbil doesn't rank a player high that he isn't an excellent recruit? Toby Gerhart checked every single possibly box of a 5 star RB recruit but was rated a 3 star fullback. Stars are based on hype nothing more, nothing less.
