In fact, 13 of the 30 five star athletes were given less than three stars based on their actual career production. |
Well one guy was given two and a half stars though being a two year starting LB for Georgia. I'm guessing he would have been a star at BYU. Most of the guys that didn't pan out were due to injuries it appears.
I'd like to see a stat that showed % of 5,4,3,2 star recruits that became productive college players. If the data showed it turned out to be 30%, 28%, 26%, 24% then I would back off and totally support Bronco's approach.
I doubt any of you guys really even believe that though. You want to hold onto this idea that stars don't matter and Bronco's staff is better at talent evaluating, but logically it just doesn't make sense. You have to accept a pretty wild assumption that Bronco's better than every other staff at evaluating.
