You mean all these guys weren't past 5 stars? That can't be right......................

 

[mdrew27]

I'm wondering what happened to the five star guys that declared this year.... David Ricky didn't even get drafted.

 

[Ttucke11]

Matt Elam. Which makes it 12. A lot of JUCOs on that list.

 

[skasper06]

Let's not forget that the number one pick in the draft, Eric Fisher, was recruited by one Coach Butch Jones at Central Michigan

 

[Boca Vol]

Let's not forget that the number one pick in the draft, Eric Fisher, was recruited by one Coach Butch Jones at Central Michigan

How could we ever forget that?

 

[OrangeDog]

Let's not forget that the number one pick in the draft, Eric Fisher, was ONLY recruited by one Coach Butch Jones at Central Michigan

[865dude]

I think EMU's coach recruited Fisher too. Sign him up!

I believe it. I saw a statistic before of star rankings that make it to the NFL.And if I remember it was
1. 3☆
2. 4☆
3. UR
4. 5☆
5. 2☆

And there was not much difference between the UR, 5☆ and 2☆ in the numbers!

 

[NashVol11]

People always bring up this kind of logic, and it's always borderline retarded.

"More 3*s are in the NFL than 5*s!!! OMG!"

Yes, because there are ~750 3 stars every year and about 25 5 stars. As a percentage, which is what matters, 5-stars are about 15 times more likely (IIRC) to go in the first 50 picks of the NFL draft.

 

[NashVol11]

The bottom of that graph really doesn't do justice to the huge gulf between the ratio of four-star prospects who go in the first round (roughly 1 in 22, on average) and the ratio of two-star/walk-on players who go in the first round (roughly 1 in 300) but you get the idea: The four and five-star players, a group that makes up a little under 13 percent of the entire population of college players, accounts for just shy of 60 percent of first-rounders.

[99gator]

It's a percentage thing for those who still refuse to get it.

A 5 star is more likely to produce. Period. End of story.

Not a guarantee. Just like a 2 star is not guaranteed to fail.

God bless you

 

[ACvol3]

There are plenty of 5 star players on that list.. Not sure where those ratings came from.

Your simple math and obvious logic are not welcome, sir.

 

[normalfootballfan]

Who cares

Alabama>Tennessee
30-5 stars>1-5 star

Thats all that matters

True. Bama has won 3 NTs in the last four years after having 2 or 3 No. 1 recruiting classes. It ain't rocket sciene.

Solid logic, but you left out the quality factor. If Bill Gates were in a college class of 2,000, his chances of being "most-likely-to-succeed" wouldn't be 1/2,000, it's be much higher, given his obvious talents. So 5-stars should, therefore, be more likely to attain top ranking, if the ranking system were accurate.
