And the likely top 5 for next year, Dorsey, McFadden, Woodson, Jake Long and Chris Long are all 4 star guys, except for Chris Long who was 3 stars
I assume he meant median with the 3.75. mode would be 4. Wow, I must have done awesome in 5th grade math...
20% of the players drafted in the 2007 NFL draft had a2 or less star rating coming out of high school! Texsport
:huh: Out of the top 32 draft picks: 5 Stars - 5 - 16% 4 Stars - 17 - 53% 3 Stars - 7 - 22% 2 Stars - 3 - 9% 1 Star/not ranked/walk-on's - 0 Have to say the ranking systems do a good job of initially spotting talent and categorizing these players. What do you guys think?
First of all, I said 20% had less than 3 stars! How exactly does 5*s prove your point? How many 4* and 3* players were there? Additionally, since there are about 1,800 players in the NFL---32 players in the first round of any single year is actually an insignificant sample. 20% of 1,800 would be about 360 players in the NFL, that no rating service thought was even a good college prospect, much less pro material. Anyone can see the talent of the 1st round guys! The trick is finding a number of miss-rated players to fill your team out with. That applies to both college and pro recruiting. Those 360 low ranked players made someone's program better than was expected. Texsport
If the rating services are so accurate, what happened to Notre Dame and Michigan? They've both had Top 10 recruiting class almost every year for 5 or more years running. Texsport
