How rare it is to be a 5-star (or even a 2-, 3-, or 4-star) college football recruit

So it’s really hard to even get on a coach’s radar:

In 2016-17, the National Federation of State High School Sports counted 1,039,079 high school football players nationwide. That put football just ahead of basketball and just behind track and field among the most popular high school sports. It’s still by far the most popular sport for boys, by 400,000 over track and field.
So it’s really hard to even get on a coach’s radar:

It can be easier if you live in the right place. Some of the most populated states, like Texas and California and Florida, are teeming with college recruiters and with talent evaluators who set star ratings. That’s part of why those states consistently lead the country in four- and five-star recruits.

What's your analysis of this new information that I've never seen before? I can't wait to hear your take on this brand new article from January on a topic that isn't completely obvious to a 7 year old.

Increasingly difficult to determine if you're trolling, uninformed or just a shite poster.

High School -> NCAA

Football
HS 1,036,842 -> NCAA 73,557 7.1%
NCAA 73,557 -> Pro 256 1.6%
(Takes into account draft eligible)
TL:DR
7.1% of high school football players make it to any division of the NCAA, and only 1.6% of those make it to the NFL. So .11% of high school football players will play in the NFL.

.11 would be like one in a thousand hs. fb athletes would make it to the NFL, which is way higher than I would think. It looks like your numbers if they are right would suggest .024% which is around 1 in 4000, which would be closer to what I would guess.

I just multiplied 7.1% by 1.7%. and got .11%. Probably wrong. Sorry.

If .11% of high school football players play in the NFL, and there are 1,036,842 HS players every year, that means a total of 1,140 players each year make it to the NFL.
There are 53 players on an NFL team. There are 32 teams. So in total, there are only 1696 NFL player slots every year, meaning, if there were 1140 new players every year, each team, on average, would retain the services of only 17 veteran players.
That ain't happening.

Also, there are only 671 total NCAA schools with football programs across FBS, FCS, Div. II and Div. III. At 105 players per, and four classes of students, that equates to about 17,613 incoming freshmen to all universities.
That is 17,613 out of 1,036,842, which is 1.7% of high school players making it to an NCAA college football program at all levels.
Not 7.1%.

You are not taking into account that not all of these seniors. This mean around 1140 make it every 4 years, which is almost the amount drafted, most but not all make it and there are free agents which puts that number very close

This was about 1997 or around that. Heart warming story.
