Just read this please. There are relatively few 5 and 4 star recruits and they get drafted at a high percentage.

Only 5-6% of 3 stars get drafted.

So once again stars do matter.

That is amazing how accurate these star ratings have become. 19 five stars!

This is why people are dissapointed when we land a three star.

Glad to see that the stars do continue to matter. Incredible what a high percentage of 4 and 5 stars make the NFL compared to 3 stars. As the link above states:

57.6% of 5 stars are drafted
23.6% of 4 stars are drafted
6.9% of 3 stars are drafted
1.1% of 2 stars are drafted

I think that speaks well to recruiting rankings from this site and others.

I think that the interesting stories are about the 40% or so of the 5 stars that aren't drafted (gotta figure most of those are due to career-ending injuries) and about the 21 no-stars who worked themselves to draft level.

Agree, always enjoy during the draft hearing about the guy who was 5'7" as a HS senior and suddenly 6'2" by his sophomore year of college.

The numbers cited above are why I never look down at us signing a 3 star, many will be great, but I also know we can't put together a team of nothing but them or we'll be no better than Pitt or Rutgers.

Every year someone tries to dunk on the “star gazers” and gets dunked on instead

No idea who or what this means.

I get you may be upset but I am not playing along.

So what you first post was BS? OK, got it.

Nobody because the 3* category is way too broad. Those kids were picking from their choice of multiple major P5 schools. On the other hand there are tons of 3* kids who only have offers from programs like Rutgers or Pitt. Kids that fit the latter profile can be disappointing.

Here is some detail on the 5 stars that were not drafted.

57.6% of 5 stars are drafted
23.6% of 4 stars are drafted
6.9% of 3 stars are drafted
1.1% of 2 stars are drafted

Now, the interesting breakdown would be which schools are better at getting a higher percentage of their 3 and 4 stars into the draft.
