I did some research and kept it for my own nerdy records...until now.

I was focused solely on Syracuse's recruits.
How many 2-star and even 1-star and no-star recruits have been very successful for SU and/or the NFL?  Quite a few examples:

Ryan Nassib (2)
Jerome Smith (2.5)
Tony Fiametta (2)
Mike Williams (2)
Alec Lemon (2.5)
Taj Smith (2.5)
Justin Pugh (2)
Sean Hickey (2)
Macky MacPherson (2)
Omari Palmer (2)
Jay Bromley (0)
Arthur Jones (2.5)
Chandler Jones (2)
Brandon Sharpe (2)
Jameel McClain (2)
Derrell Smith (2)
Tanard Jackson (2)
Shamarko Thomas (2)
Durrell Eskridge (2.5)

(This number is their average star-ranking using the 2 major sites)

There aren't as many 4-star players to look at since 2002, but we don't have a great percentage of getting hits out of the 4-star players that we have landed:

Damien Rhodes (4) - HIT
Perry Patterson (3.5) - Can't say he was a hit
Ricky Krautman (3.5) - MISS
Lavar Lobdell (4) - Can't say he was a hit
Delone Carter (3.5) - HIT
Andrey Baskin (4) - MISS, never showed up
Doug Hogue (3.5) - HIT
Jermaine Pierce (4) - MISS, injury
Marcus Sales (4) - HIT
Mikhail Marinovich (3.5) - HIT
Averin Collier (4) - MISS
Romale Tucker (4) - MISS
Marquis Spruill (4 on 1 site, 2 on another) - HIT
Ashton Broyld (3.5) - Can't say he has been a hit
Ron Thompson (3.5) - Looking like a HIT
K.J. Williams (4) - MISS, probably will never show up

Take from that info what you will.
