OK, so let's throw out this model.

90% of 5 star recruits will be good college players.
70% of 4 star recruits.
50% of 3 star recruits.
30% of 2 star recruits.

Is this fair? Can we agree on that?

So my question is how is Bronco so good at talent evaluation that he gets a higher potion of 2 star recruits to become good college players compared to say Boise State or Utah or Oregon? Likewise for the 3 and 4 stars we get.

At some point you have to believe we're better than every else at talent evaluation OR you have to admit stars are important and our recruiting class isn't that hot.
