Stetson was a two star but lets be honest. He got the invite because he is on the number 1 team in the country.


This is a great example of the arbitrary and subjective spins and twists the stargazers subscribe to.

Is Stetson the 1-4 best player in the country? If you were building a team would you draft him first.

Here is a nice little article about last years draft and 5 stars.

He is projected to be a late round pick to undrafted which would fit the 2 star rating.

This shows that stars DO matter.

The ONLY way to compare groups of different sample sizes is through percentages.

Again, if I gave you the choice between two lottery tickets and told you one had a 3% chance of hitting and one had a 0.4% chance of hitting, which one would you choose?

Rankings matter and statistics show that evaluators are getting better at their evaluations year over year since 2000.

Saban didn’t build his death machine with a bunch of 3-stars. And UGA didn’t unseat them with their own collection of overachievers. Stars matter and they always have.
