Interesting.

Anyone know if we were in on Aqib Talib outta Richardson Berkner? That guy turned into a helluva DB.

Nope, was one of the guys that the previous group of coaches just assumed we couldnt get.

What....you adding to your post count without saying anything? I'll give you another chance......what do you think the future holds for Avery, or as you like to call him, AJ?

And FYI, talking about the comparison of high school rankings systems to success at the next level(s).

I did a quick count

5 stars -- 5
4 stars -- 11
3 stars -- 7
2 stars -- 7

There were a couple that had ratings in hs then juco or at a prep school but just found that interesting.

I did, too. Especially the umber of 2 stars. It would be interesting to see how the entire draft was rated. Like what % of HS 5-stars were drafted.

Looks like the 4 star players dominated. Let's get some in here.

For the thousandth time-there are about 30 times more 2 stars than 5 stars(usually only about 35). There are probably 10 times more 2 stars than 4 stars. If you checked the 2 stars I'd bet many were still pretty highly recruited with quality offers. A good number of the "unkown" players in the top rounds are actually outstanding athletes that committed to big time schools but flunked out, or were non-qualifiers and therefore ended up in smaller schools. Again, what these numbers unequivocally prove is that recruits who were highly ranked by Rivals etc have proportionationately much higher percentage of success at each coresponding star level at least as measured by the NFL Draft.

Chuck Norris.....what do you know about this guy when he was coming out of High School? or even now??....give us your expert opinion or some details : .....tell us about his senior year in High School (pro's/con's)....injuries? legal issues? academics? you seem to be well knowledgeable about his recruitment!

Sometimes, you can be such a pantywaste.
