Hueitt and Godwin transferred out. They were not good enough for JJ. Ezipke and Reese are good, but not three stars quality, yet. Greene is not consistent, since he is going into his senior year and you still don't know how he will play from game to game. Caver was the best, but JJ played him too many minutes. Maybe JJ could not rely on a backup PT. Enjoy the next two season's.

You're moving the goal posts. Your original assertion was that we didn't recruit enough 3-star players. When evidence proved that statement false, you now want to qualify what constitutes a 3-star player by 'Monday-morning-quarterbacking' what happened AFTER they were recruited.

If you'd like to separately critique JJ for player retention, fine. Make that argument. Just don't conflate the two criticisms because they're not related. You can't make an intelligent argument that JJ's recruits don't have "enough stars". He's done quite well in that regard. When you count the recruiting rankings for the transfers he's brought in, he's out-recruited all of his predecessors by a large margin.
