I can accept it as a measurement. But also don’t get too excited, one because the lowest 4 star counts as much as the highest 5 star 300 places higher, and WAY more than the highest 3 Star 1 place below him.
Two because as I posted a day or so ago, draft results are also facts to validate or refute the stars awarded. Last draft mid 40’s % 5 stars were drafted and like 22% of 4 stars were drafted. Obviously the stars were flawed since 80+ 4 stars were drafted BUT 130+ 3 stars were drafted. More than enough 4’s left on the board. They give you 3 stars as a default if you breath and know your coaches name. But the drafted 3 guys have to be 4 star misses. Tough gig rating guys primarily on what they did by their Jr year.
So it is a number, but bottom line it is Which 5.4&3 stars you sign. That takes a few years to get to the bottom line.
P.s. GA and Bama have been signing a higher percentage than average, but Ck the portal for their culls, not their fortune seekers, most of those have been 4’s Too. Ck the portal for upwardly mobile 3 star guys moving up to power 4/5??? OOPS.
SOOOOO. There you have it.
If Coach targets them early, I celebrate them regardless of star ranking. Post signing day surprises, I hold my breath till results are in. But taking shots at them signing day inherently lowers one’s fan coefficient. That is true close to 100 percent of the time. An option available to every fan. Kind of like a player intentionally fumbling. There is a cost to classless venting, and should be. Posts become facts too, just like signing day star rankings.
