Sports radio talk this morning, reporters at the Super Bowl, noted this little tidbit:

Of the starters in the Super Bowl, coming out of high school 33 were 3 star recruits, 8 were 4 star recruits. There are no 5 star recruits starting in the game. A few, like Brady, went to college before the services started keeping star ratings. They estimate he would have been a 3 or 4 star guy.

The reporters did not say what service ranking was used to generate the information.

That's great. Stars don't matter 10 years after they assigned.

 

But they do matter 2-4 years later and all evidence points to this.

stars dont ever matter.

coaches dont recruit guys based on yellow stars on a website.

You are right. Just a coincidence the best teams tend to have the most stars.

Oh brother!! Here we go again. Can we all just agree to disagree?

 

How about this for a distraction?? It worked in another thread....

Are you surfing the web from the big screen at Jerry World?

I'll just say this ...

 

The last team that won a national title that didn't recruit tip-top talent would have probably been Georgia Tech or Colorado, who both claimed the national title in 1990. Although that Colorado team had two first-rounders and two second-rounders, so maybe they had more talent than I remember.

 

Since then, you see Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska, Florida State, Florida, Miami, Oklahoma, Tennessee, LSU, Auburn, Ohio State ... it's not a coincidence that you don't see Iowa State on that list.

Oh what the hell. Who is suggesting we are recruiting on the same level as ISU? Crickets? I am not going to **** myself if we only pull in a top 15 class this year. It's not worth my time...

Guys, I think it is quite simple.

 

The more stars you have, the greater chance the player will be good.

 

5* - Player has a great chance of contributing right away and to be a star player for the team.

 

The rankings just indicate percentages. I would much rather have a team full of 5* because a good percentage of those players turn out to be good players. There will always be busts, but it happens less often with 5* players.

 

Since it is impossible to get a team full of 5*, it is up to the coaches to find those Tyler Eiferts. However, for every Tyler Eifert, there are 4-5 3* players who bust and never make a name for their own fanbase (especially at the bigger schools)

 

Also, to be frank, I dont care who makes the all-star game as a Notre Dame fan, I want my college team to win, so if that player is spectacular in college, but only average in the Pros, we still win as college fans.
