It'll takes years to figure out if these diamonds in the rough actually are or they are what the recruiting services rated them as. St. Juste being Canadian obviously didn't get any exposure and that's usually what is needed with these diamonds in the rough. That said, JH accepted commits from tons of kids who weren't M caliber that M later found someone more talented at their spot.

While there may be "diamonds in the rough" HS players, there is no getting around the direct relationship between a college players NFL draft status and the stars they came out of HS with.
The rest of it is a crap shot.
Talent.
Having said that, I've got no quarrel with JH's recruiting so far. You have to build a program back to elite status when that program has been destroyed through its mismanagement over a decade's time. I think the NFL bent Harbaugh has brought to M (NFL coaches) and the NFL hype he's poured on his approach to recruiting is going to pay dividends AFTER the dynasty tag is applied like it has been at programs like Alabama and osu and like those programs, strong relationships are formed between M's hopefully stable coaching staff and hot bed HS football programs.
It's a process. Harbaugh understands that. Impatient M fans often don't.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

FWIW, most all 4-stars are known quantities that's been evaluated many times by the recruiting services. Three stars are sometimes kids who've flown under the radar but not as many programs and recruiting services have seen them play; I reiterate the sometimes as the recruiting services are imo quite good when they have the opportunity to really evaluate a recruit.
Dantonio has built his program that's averages 10+ wins a season and mostly all 3-stars. Sparty has 24 more wins than M since 2008.
