How many 4 or 5 star recruits do Boise, Wisconsin, TCU, Oregon, Okie St and a few others have? The thing is...there are only so many 5 stars given out...i think its like 25 for Rivals. And also only so many 4 stars. I believe there are ALOT of great 3 star players that with a little coaching can easily become great players...even great NFL players. It's been proven.

Now players who are 2 star and arent kickers...i think its fairly rare for those to become big time players. It may happen...especially when they play for lower division high school teams with almost no video...but it's still fairly rare.

You got to find those guys with "work ethic" and some natural talent. 5 star talent alone doesn't make it at the next level, and there are many examples. Those 2-3 star guys with a "chip" or drive, for whatever reason(maybe just to prove everybody wrong), now those guys can be special.

false.

I've worked with some of these recruiting guys...they say they give out 5* ratings to guys who deserve 5* ratings. Regardless of number. If there's 12 guys worthy of 5*, 12 guys will get it. If there's 40...there will be 40.
