Just a refresher on the ratings. Do NOT only look at the stars and make a quick judgement in May, 8 months before the early signing period. Current spring ratings will most likely look a bit different in December, and possibly again in February with final rankings.
Good discussion has been had here about ISU's 2 star committed recruits. Keep this in mind:
.....A Rivals Rating of 5.2-5.4 equates to two stars, 5.5-5.7 equates to three stars, 5.8-6.0 equates to four stars and 6.1 is a five-star. --- Josh Helmholt -- Recruiting 101 With Professor Helmholdt
ISU's current 2 star commitments and their current Rivals Rating:
Myles Mendeszoon 5.4
Deon Silas 5.4
Noah Biglow 5.4
Aidan Ralph 5.3
Remember, it is May 1st, 8 months ahead of the early signing period. In April (when the last of these commitments was announced) is staff really reaching already to fill the roster? I don't believe that at all. Look at the current 2 stars on the list above and keep this in mind when knowing that these are not final Rivals ratings. A Rivals Rating of 5.2-5.4 equates to two stars, 5.5-5.7 equates to three stars
What to expect? I don't believe that whole list will go all the way to final ratings unchanged. I'd be willing to bet that one or more will be more widely recruited and offered when it's all said and done. Some fans may even do a 180 from "2 star? What the..." to "can the staff keep all these guys' commitments"? We'll see.
