You act like they only offer players with their highest evaluations, they don't offer players they have no possibility of getting. There are alot of players they wish they could get but just can't so they don't offer. At times they sign players because they keep moving down their list to whomever will commit. Its not always SU's first player they wanted. All recruiting services do is compare offers from the schools themselves. They try to present themselves as evaluators but really are just uber fans who try to collect offer information and judge where they fall with who has offered them. Offers from TN, AL, ND, FL St means you're a 4/5, offers by Arkansas, BC, Pitt, NC, SU and MN mean your a 3/4, and offers from W. Mich, NW, Ball St, Bowling Green mean your a 1/2. It is what it is. Its the best window we can see into the world of college football recruiting. Faults and all. Its not perfection. You're right about there are lower rated kids who ultimately become all pros but statistically speaking its at a much lower rate than those who were rated 4/5 stars coming out of HS. If that was the case all those schools getting 2 star recruits would be winning National championships like NC State or Georgia Tech. There's a reason why the last 7 National Champions were SEC schools. Its because they consistantly recruit the best players in the nation and that is reflective in their talent, who offered them, and how many stars they ultimately received by recruiting services reflective of that talent and top offers. Its all in the numbers and talent and yes stars.
