In other breaking news, Maker Mayfield won the Heisman and was the number 1 overall pick, and Tom Brady was a sixth round pick.

What is the point of these threads?

This is why we love sports. The beauty

This was during his juco recruitment. Was interest from both sides, not exactly sure the exact issue academically but couldn’t come to Miami.

Recruiting is so different now compared to even 10 years ago. Every coach that walks through the door now first question is what’s his grades and ACT/SAT. Then they want to know character wise is he a cancer or if he’s a problem free kid. They want to know family baggage. They want the least amount of problems. Unfortunately some coaches (Myer & Saban) don’t really care and just want the best athletes and will deal with the baggage on the back end. Fixing transcripts and getting cash to families to buy recruits so it will all workout.

recruiting sites have gotten a lot better at grading. Find me 5 2 stars who became a beast in the NFL in the last 5 years.

This is actually true. Specifically with the rise of 247 the past 5 years. It’s not a perfect science, it never will be. There will still be guys undervalued/underrated, but they have been trending the right way of the 3 sites now. If you take a look at old classes from Rivals and Espn 5-10 years ago, your jaw would drop at the astonishing rate of busts. Evaluations are definitely getting better compared to before, I also contribute it to the rise of HUDL now too.

Exactly. That's why I no longer believe Florida 3 stars = other state 4 stars. These recruiting sites are improving more and more. well at least 247 is, in how they rate players. If you built your entire roster with Florida 3 stars then your going to look like a team that is made up of 3 stars, not a team on the cusp of starting a dynasty like in the 80s or even the early 2000s.

What stars cant predict is heart and a chip on the shoulder, angry attitude.

Yea he went juco but I didn’t know he was being recruited out of high school.

 

[DTP]

Somebody tell Nick Saban he's doing it all wrong. He should stop wasting time signing 4 and 5 star players and winning championships every year. He should focus on finding more "diamonds in the rough".

 

[boxtonenyc]

Blows my mind that a school that isnt even top 50 in academics turns away a kid like Hollywood Brown. The delusion of the BOT and admin is staggering.

Urlacher was a 5'9" WR in the middle of oil fields until his senior year where he had a growth spurt and became the white Sean Taylor in HS. Still...he WAS offered by both FBS in-state schools.

...

Khalil Mack is maybe the worst possible example to point to for the discussion some on here want to have. Didn't play until his senior year, coming off a pretty devastating injury, and while he was pretty good (over 100 tackles as a linebacker), its not like he was the pass rushing phenomenon he is today...he had a few sacks. Mack is a great example of a scout taking a leap of faith and having a conviction on a kid he developed a relationship with.

Whats next...pointing to Shaquem Griffin as a stars don't matter argument? I mean, the kid had one hand ffs.

Nah Shaquem is proof that hands don't matter. Why aren't we exclusively recruiting kids without hands? 100% (1/1) of college footballers without at least one hand are now starting in the NFL. I'll take 100% handless NFL-worthy rate over the 75% 5 * rate every **** day.

I will take a handless Florida 3 star any day over a 5 star from out of state. The rating systems like to give SEC kids boosts because that is the majority of their customers. The also give 2 handed kids boosts because most of their subscribers have 2 hands. I think Richt needs to stop being such a stargazer and start landing all of the 1 and no handed 2 and 3 stars from Florida. We wont be winning NCs until our team is made up of 100% 1 handed 2 stars from Florida.
