B1G All Star rankings

    If you want to ignore the facts that's your decision. Spin it however you'd like. A 3-star player has less than a 1% chance of being drafted in the first round. A 5-star player has a 10% chance. It's impossible to logically conclude that stars mean very little when a 5-star player is ten times more likely to become a first round pick, when compared to a 3-star.

    The point I was making is that evaluating 3 and 2 star guys is what's important. Sure, landing 1 or more top flight recruits is beneficial, but the last time I checked, football is the ultimate TEAM sport. Having one or two studs mean nothing if you don't have the other guys and coaches to help make them successful. I'll take good coaching and 22 three star guys with heart over a handful of prima donnas with no coaching any day of the week. UT was a perfect example of this the past couple of seasons. I'm glad the big 3 are gone and a proven coach is in. UT will be instantly improved because of that this upcoming football season. Stars are OVERRATED, always have been and always will be.
