If you have been reading this site for awhile you know of the "Curse of the 4 Stars" as a term I have coined for the rare four-star football recruits that the Boilers get. In basketball we get 4-star guys all the time and they often work out. In football, we only get 1-2 per recruiting cycle it seems. Since football classes are much larger, that means the few 4-star commits we do get should be standout players that make a huge difference.
Well, they stand out, alright. I call it the Curse of the 4 Stars because almost without exception they never work out.
