Athletic Article on Developing Talent (Miami Related)

Lol 7 5 stars how embarrassing
Tried to think of all the 7 five stars we’ve had over the past 11 years and didn’t get drafted.

Chad Thomas- Drafted
Duke Johnson - Drafted
Tracey Howard - Undrafted
Anthony Chickillo - Drafted
Lorenzo Lingard - Transferred

Leonard Taylor - Will be drafted
James Williams - Will be drafted

The Athletic dug into 11 years of data to find the answer. For three-, four- and five-star prospects, which schools had the highest percentage of prospects drafted?

Using the 247Sports Composite Rating, we tallied the total three-, four- and five-star prospects signed at each of the 65 Power 5 programs from 2009 through 2019 and how many of each star rating were drafted from 2012 through 2022 in the seven-round event that features more than 250 picks each year. Then we tallied the percentages for each school. The top and bottom 10 featured some usual suspects and some surprises.


Doesn't look like LT and JW would be in their rankings. You are missing Seantrel Henderson (2010), but I am not sure who the 7th 5 star they have would be as those appear to be the only 5 stars signed between 2009 - 2019.
 
The Athletic ran and interesting article this morning on which schools 'develop' talent best over the last 11 years. They did this by looking at how many 3 star, 4 star, and 5 star recruits each school got and then how many of each of those levels were drafted. Now obviously there are some other considerations that should be taken into account (ex: they don't weigh the 1st overall pick any more than the last pick in the draft), but I still found this pretty interesting:

As mentioned above, I think there is some missing considerations that would be really hard to quantify, but it still surprised me that Miami was ranked so high when they get 4 and 5 star recruits.

All I see is that we had 7 five star guys and bama had 44.
