There are a lot more 2 and 3 stars than 4 and 5 stars yet its an even split 13-13. Percentage is on the side of 4 and 5 star players. Same as the draft.
 
Typically, 5* kids go to the best teams, were they may get less pt as frosh than many of these kids.

Great point, the name that sticks and stings is Leonard Williams. Dude would've been a huge contributor for us and a great player moving forward.

I don't recognize all of those names on there, but I also imagine a number of them, as well as getting early PT, play against lesser competition.
 
1. Freshman All-American is deceiving as it only applies to kids who get a chance to play. Tons of top talent do not get an opportunity because they are at a top school with top tier upperclassman in front of them.
2. This includes RS Freshman as well so many of these guys could be in second year.
3. Percentage wise...5 star and 4 stars win out. There are probably 20-25 5 star players and 5 are on the list. That is close to 20-25%. There are probably a few hundred 2 and 3 star players.
