That's actually an argument to the value of 5s. Youre just not seeing it.

Yeah I don't get how people thinks this proves stars are "overrated". There's a much, much larger pool of 2 and 3 stars so the % of them that get drafted is extremely low. There are very few 5* so the % of them drafted in the first is insanely high.

Edit: I just looked up the 2013 recruiting class on 247, those guys were Juniors last year, Seniors this year, (maybe some redshirt seniors still but I'm not sure). There were 32 5*, 9 of whom got drafted in the first round last year or this year. A 28% success rate when you look at how many high school prospects there are, is absolutely phenomenal.
