I have only half-heartedly followed recruiting for the past 25 years, but even as little as I pay attention to it I have seen a kid "gain a star" by committing to Ntre Ame on dozens of occasions. A 3-star that commits to play in South Bend gets a 4th star, and 4-stars that choose the domers get a 5th. It happens all the time. It has been suggested by many that this is done because the subway alumni follow recruiting closer than any other group. Whatever. It results in NoD looking bad compared to their supposed talent level, so it works for me.
