Some 4-star recognition missing:
Chaffin:Â also ESPN
Fanaika (returned from mission): Rivals, 247
Burkett: ESPN
Perez: ESPN
Brandt-Sims: 247
Also, I think it you are right that focusing on stars does a disservice to some really good players. JJ Arcega-Whiteside was awarded Parade AA honors and Gatorade POY. Jordan Fox got an invitation to the Semper Fidelis AA game. Those are big time honors. Other guys may not have gotten those kind of honors but are legitimate Pac-12 players in their own right. I think Hall and Dreyer both have a good chance to develop into a solid RT. I think Annan could end up being a linchpin, both out of necessity and ability. FBs get no glory or recruiting stars, but Williams has as much a shot as Marx to contribute. There are also a lot of really good athletes who were a bit skinny during their senior year of HS, but who could easily end up putting on a lot of good weight in college and contributing to the team. Veach is #1 in that dept, but there are others. I'm leaving out lots of folks. There really is just a ton of quality depth at a lot of positions.Â

When I registered here in 2014, TrumpCard seemed like an apolitical user ID...
