Paying a bunch of 4 and 5 stars to sit the bench for a year

so they can leave the following year is bad recruiting. Other teams are less likely to try to lure away a 3 star who didn't play, than a 4 or 5 star. My guess is they figure a lower ranked player is more likely to stick around until he is deserving of bigger money, and the coaches will know when he is ready sooner than other teams. A 4 or 5 star freshmen who didn't play is worth a roll of the dice by other teams with more money to spend..
