Can everyone please stop star watching. People hate the Sutton comparison so here's another one that shows rating services aren't the final judge.
5* (.9992) Myles Garrett was the #2 ranked player overall, #1 WDE, and #1 in TX.
4* (.9164) Derek Barnett was the #206 ranked player overall, #13 SDE, and #5 in TN.
Now put the stat line with the player
72 tackles, 20.5 TFL, 10 sacks, 1 FR
53 tackles, 14 TFL, 11.5 sacks, 1 PBU
One was a high 5 star, one was a low 4 star. Anyone think the evaluators want to go back and fix their rankings on these 2?
Very little difference between the two. Garrett is a better pass rusher maybe. Barnett is a better run stopper maybe. Both had great Freshman seasons. Garnett missed some time with a concussion. Doesnt change the fact that by enlarge the recruiting services get it right. Just go back 10 years and list all the 2-3 star players that have been difference makers at UT. There are always exceptions but its slim pickings
