They had top 25 classes in each of the last 3/4 years.  There's only about 25 - 5 Star kids though, it's like seeing where the McD's hoopsters are.  It's usually spread out.  I can't recall how many '4 star' kids there are - but really IMHO you have to measure the whole body.  A good consistent team is usually solid 1-85.  And every team is predominantly made up of 3 star kids because there are 10x as many 3 Star kids out there.

I hear what you’re saying but it should reason that if you have a so called top 25 recruiting class – every year – you should have a top 25 team.  3 weeks ago the top 25 poll that was only true for about 50% of the teams.  Michigan, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, ND these are teams solidly in the top 25 recruiting polls every year.  They're not ranked right now, neither is Miami, Nebraska or VT.

I think in general it’s easy to rate the top 100 or even 200 kids but after that it’s a crap shoot.  It’s also not hard to see that if Bama offers a high school junior or even a sophomore he’s probably a 5 star kid  (so you have the chicken or the egg theory).  What comes first – the 5 star rating or the schools recruiting a kid?

I watched about 5 minutes of the NFL game last night and the Chief’s starting right tackle they said was the number 1 pick?  (wasn’t sure if they meant top drafted lineman or the actual #1 pick) but the kid was from Central Michigan.  So made me wonder what the NFL rosters look like, where were these guys rated when they signed LOIs.
