There are plenty of highly successful three stars. Some kids haven’t had the big program training, some are still growing, some develop later. If they fit your program ( ie can develop an OL for example) then you can win them.
A very long way to go before we know how
My best guess is somewhere 22ish range. May be as low as 20.
The biggest difference in star count is not max potential but time to reach max potential. If you are already physically developed and technically polished you will get more stars than if you need to develop physically or as a football player. Rough rule of thumb is a year longer for each less star, so a 4 star that can contribute as a freshmen and a quality 3 star sophomore are roughly an even competition. Depends on the individuals, of course.
Usually quiet this time of year. Once High School seasons start most recruits slow down and focus on their games. Won't really pick up again until after the season.
We're also in a dead period right now until September. Commitments will pick up again when kids can be back on college campuses.
I think the commitments we have going into the dead period are mind-boggling. Can't wait to see what happens when things rev up again.
I am not boggled.
You're gonna see a lot of those names this season. Sims probably starting at CB. Eley starting MLB. Harris 1B ar rush end. Cimaglia and Cochran starting. White in the rotation once healthy. Derrick Allen plays 3 positions in the secondary as well.
Just 7?
since the professional ratings services don't do this, why do you think ST posters will be be able to do this analysis accurately?
The pros don't even try. It opens up the subjectivity can of woŕms even moŕe than it already is and they would lose even more credibility than they already have. So theý retreat to a cookbook appròàch that hides the pseudòscience it is.
Not if the 5 stars play 10 years, right? That would be 300 players. Physically possible.
Well, It's not impossible. But it is wrong.
