They're more qualified both because our staff appears to be highly competent and because they got to see these players at their own summer camp--that's very different than seeing somebody play in a highlight reel +/- an All Star Game. My impression is that, by and large, college coaches hardly ever see any prospects play any regular games unless the high school happens to play its Friday night game very close to wherever the college team is playing on Saturday. And even then, most college prospects will be playing against high school players who aren't college prospects.
I'd only add that, from my reading of sites like 247, we don't need to worry too much about whether our class was rated #35 or #60. Throughout this middle range, the entire class is a bunch of 3 star players with maybe a couple of 4 stars among the higher rated teams. For example, in 2022, #30 was Iowa with 2, 4 stars and 16, 3 stars. #100 was Georgia State with 13, 3 stars. There's a range of quality within the 3 star group, but it's very difficult to predict who is going to be a career backup and which among the 3 stars will end up comprising the 40% of NFL draftees who were originally rated as 3 stars. Often, the P5 teams get better overall class rankings partly by getting the guys closer to 4 stars but often just by volume (20 recruits is rated much higher than 14 recruits, even if they are all 3 stars of equivalent ranking). All of these teams anticipate a good bit of attrition.
The real difference, imho, is between top 10 recruiting classes and the teams that recruit below about #30. The ratings may not be entirely predictive, but they do mean something... In looking at last night's roster, Georgia and TCU had recruited a total of 26 guys since 2018 who were rated 5 stars. 25 were recruited to Georgia, and one to TCU (that guy transferred to Ole Miss a year ago). There's a reason why analysts were calling Georgia a pro team before the game. Though it's also true that Stetson Bennett, Ladd McConkey, and Adonai Mitchell were stars in the game, and all 3 were rated as 3 star players out of high school.
With a good enough staff, great prospects can be identified and cultivated. We'll see how it goes next year when we play against teams like ND, FSU, Clemson, and even UNC, all of which have a whole bunch of 4 and 5 star players. Just like the 2022 Miami team...
