Not every unrated/2-3 star kid is a diamond in the rough and not every 4-5 star kid is Bo Jackson. There are PLENTY of unrated/2-3 star kids who amount to SQUAT in college. I'd be willing to bet the MAJORITY of unrated/2-3 star kids don't have any success in college. On the flipside, there are PLENTY of 4-5 star kids who have a LOT of success in college and the NFL. I'd be willing to bet that half (if not more) of ALL 4-5 star kids have very successful careers in college and/or the NFL. I'd love to see the actual data behind this.

My point it...the higher a kid is ranked coming out of HS/JUCO the greater the chances are of him being very successful in college/nfl. THAT'S why I pay attention to the star rating.

Absolutely. There's definitely a lot of validity to the star rating systems. No, not every 4 or 5-star recruit will be highly successful in college, but they do have the most physical ability based on high school performance. If that isn't true, the top programs wouldn't be fighting over them.

Problem with the 4-5* kids we happen to get is getting them eligible and keeping them eligible and out of trouble. G5 don't get many of those without some concessions in academics or off the field problems. Just a fact of G5 life.

Many of those same elite players get into trouble at P5 schools as well. Not a G5 thang.
