Message: [QUOTE="xc84, post: 276690, member: 1526"] Yup. Based on this small sample size, appears to be little difference in the number of 5, 4, 3 star kids in terms of being a first rounder. And, I still think there is a fair amount of post recruiting influence on the ratings which doesen't invalidate the ratings, it just means that the rating services are not really evaluating from talent, they are borrowing from the evaluation done by the schools . i.e. Alabama has a lot of 5 star kids on this list. So, if Alabama is recruiting a kid, their rating goes up a notch. And don't get me wrong, these are obviously legit 5 stars. I just wonder if e.g. Griffin had been successfully recruited by Alabama if we would be seeing 5 stars next to his name. [/QUOTE]
