Yeah like them too.

What percentage of 5 star players become high level to elite players?
From the article "Over that period, five-star recruits make up only .7% of the overall recruiting cycle. Yet, 117 five-star recruits have been selected and the draft rate over the past five years is 63%."

What about 4 star players?
"Since the 2017 NFL draft, 468 four-star recruits have been picked or 36.2% of the total — even though they make up only 2.8% of the number of recruits. The draft rate of four-star recruits over the past five years is 22.1%."

What about 3 star players?
"Since 2017, there have been 9,728 three-star recruits and 517 of them have been drafted.

Overall, the data from the past five years reveals that 40% of the players drafted have been three-star recruits coming out of high school. But with the much larger number of three-star recruits in each cycle, the draft rate is only 5.3%."

Stars matter even if you don't like it.

There was an analysis done on the first 10 years of Rivals data released probably 10 years ago.

They had a similar measure of what constituted “success”.

5 Stars were a 50/50 proposition
4 Stars hit at a rate of 22-25%
3 Stars at 7-8%
2 Stars hit at a rate of <1%

Nobody has ever claimed stars don’t matter…. You just stated that you would take 5* busts…. All that matters is how they perform on the field…. If we have the right staff then we will get talent… as the program grows then eventually… the talent that we sign will match the stars that you are craving… Currently, our coach has recruited a few lower rated players over higher rated players bc they feel like the lower rated player is better…. They seem to have a high hit % in recruiting so far…. I have 100% confidence in them.

VERY expensive hobby. For a decent body and quality lens (spend the $$ on the glass), you're in the $1,500-2k range easy. Wish I could do more photography. I really enjoy it but I'm just too busy in life and too cheap to upgrade from my SLR to a mirrorless Canon.

I had about $5K in a Canon and lenses but I honestly miss my old Canon point and shoot more than the pro equipment. I felt connected to life and art with it. Pro equipment is amazing but cumbersome.

The NFL looks at stuff different than we do. The scouts see something that we don't I guess. Just because someone isn't picked in the first round doesn't mean they want get a chance. As far as the "EXPERTS" look at their picking orders in the past and who actually gets picked, it's usually not even close. Just talking heads talking.

Promotion for a former classmate of mine at Tech, Nick Deal. Full time structural engineer with a part time gig as a photographer. Also, probably as big or bigger a UT fan than I am. I wouldn't be surprised if he's on here. Anyway, he took these pictures:

The best job in the world is a sports show host. You don't have to be right you just have to get people stirred up and the BEST job of the sports guys is Mel Kiper's. All you have to do is look at each NFL team and speculate on who they may want then say it to a camera with conviction. If they pick someone different at that position or somebody at another position all you have to do is say salary cap or the team went in a different direction........easy money.......if you can get it.

I think we somewhat agree. Maybe I over estimated her symptoms. I tend to wait to go as well. Go Vols!!

I'm not doctor, just a cynic, don't pay me much attention haha
Been burned by sleezy docs and sleezy insurance companies too many times. If you're really sick they're helpful, otherwise they milk you for every dime they can.
