Thanks for posting Blair. Looks somewhat similar to some numbers I threw together regarding this year's 1st team AA selections and their respective rivals ranking. Seems there is a little more validity in recruiting rankings than many on here want to believe.

Yeah, I would probably agree. When you see 4 2-stars or 8 3-stars get drafted, it might seem like a lot at first, but in every recruiting class you have roughly:

1% 5-Stars
10% 4-Stars
30% 3-Stars
59% 2-Stars/Unranked

So what does this say about our future with KF as the coach?

I think it says that for every 131 3-star prospects Kirk signs, one will become a 1st round NFL draft pick. Statistically speaking.

I am expecting someone with an extreme amount of time on their hands to figure that out and report it back to the board
