we're going after 3-star guys when the elite programs are pulling in 4- and 5-star athletes.
While Rivals ratings don't mean the world in football due to many factors (competition level in high school, etc.), I believe they mean a lot more in basketball. After all, most elite players compete on a national level on their club teams, so you can assess their talent level better. Plus, there are a few cases where high school kids have transitioned straight to pro ball, while that's not the case in football.
It seems most of HCCM's signees are "projects" that might or might not pan-out in SEC level play. And unlike Drink, Martin has done a pretty poor job of sealing the borders.
