Every given year there are ~9000 scholarship FBS football players. Factored for rate of attrition and graduation every year there are roughly 2750 incoming freshmen. Given that there are only on average 40 5* recruits and 300 4* recruits for every year, those rates seem right about on par with what I would think. There are a lot more 3* and 2* players in every given year than 4* and 5* players.
Yeah considering there are thousands more 2 and 3 stars in every recruiting class it's not surprising. Percentage wise it's a no brainier. You are much more likely to make the NFL as a 5 star than a 2 or 3 star.

Very well reasoned.
The unsourced cited data seems pretty shallow to me to be drawing many conclusions.

I just did 75 players ×120 FBS teams (9000 players) and 23 commits × 120 FBS team (2750 recruits). Nothing scientific about it, and probably off by a slight bit, but just wanted to get a relative framework was all.
