Pokes landed a 2020 junior college linebacker – not highly touted but the good news is he won’t be counted on for much next year (ideally). Bullets Rundown • Cost-benefit of four-star recruits • Two scenarios not to sell Chuba’s Heisman stock • Triplets vs. the Spencer show Scores • WBB: TCU 72, Cowgirls 68 OSU Bullets • This line from Boone’s piece looking at the cost-benefit of four-star recruits is spot on. The hit rate for higher-rated recruits continues to be higher than those less-heralded. Others, though, simply don’t pan out. Moore is simply the latest example that fans — and media (guilty) — who plead for four- and five-stars and nothing less may be misguided in their one-track approach. Sometimes it’s more than that.
