Message: [QUOTE="supp, post: 1647493, member: 702"] Not a criticism of the class (because what the heck do I know?) but is it my imagination or have these recruiting websites become more liberal with the handing out of 3 stars than they used to be? I think 4 and 5 stars are now given to the top 300 players and everyone in the top 750 gets at least three stars. I want to say in the past that 5 stars was top 50 like it is now but 4 stars was 51-150, maybe 250, but not 300. Similarly I think they used to draw the line on 3 stars before player #750. If we figure that most FBS teams are taking 20 or so kids a year, that works out to 2500 or so kids. That means a little less than a third of all incoming recruits are three stars or better. If we just count the Power 5 who get almost all of the 5, 4, and 3 star kids, we're talking nearly 3/4 of all incoming kids are three stars or better. [/QUOTE]
