Thought this was interesting in regards to what the "star ratings" mean.

Great find!

From the above articles:

Seahawks Star Distribution:
Roster Snapshot:
Five-Stars: 3
Four-Stars: 8
Three-Stars: 19
Two-Stars: 12
Unranked: 12
Pre-Rivals: 7

Broncos Star Distribution:
Roster Snapshot:
Five-Stars: 1
Four-Stars: 12
Three-Stars: 15
Two-Stars: 14
Unranked: 9
Pre-Rivals: 13

Wow! Where are all the five-stars? Didn't anyone tell the pros they cannot win without five-star HS athletes?

When we get some 4 and 5 star kids I would think people will pay no mind.

Those are absolute numbers. There are only so many 5 star (top 100?) and 4 star (top 250?). There are 100's of 2and 3 star kids. A percentage wold be better.

The star system is based on college potential, not NFL. You could probably do the same type of thing with AA's since so many flame out. Even 1st and 2nd round picks.
