[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 848084, member: 1640"] I get all this, believe me, I do. But star rankings have one purpose and one only, to predict performance at the next level. Was Shaq Mason really a 2 star athlete? Some would say that CPJ did a better job recognizing potential than the recruiting services. I absolutely do not want to rehash all the old arguments about how accurate the recruiting services are because that is not my point. My point is simple. If the results on the field do not reflect the projected performance when recruits were being ranked then it may mean the rankings were off and the recruiting was not as good as advertised. One more illustration. CPJ got lots of 3 star players but an argument has been made that CGC’s 3 star were recruits were “high” 3 star versus average or low 3 star for CPJ. But if the CPJ 3 star actually performs better on the field or grades higher in performance, then the predictive nature of the recruiting services is somewhat compromised and the blanket statement that CGC is a good recruiter has to be taken with a grain of salt. CGC may yet prove to be a good recruiter, and I sincerely hope that is the case, but right now we are simply giving him the benefit of the doubt because the recruiting services say so. [/QUOTE]
