[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 14315, member: 195"] My two cents (after 7 points): 1) stars are not meaningless because they do reflect relatively thoughtful evaluation by people with some expertise 2) consequently, teams with a lot of players who've been evaluated highly are more likely to have better talent than teams who do not (someone earlier expresses this point well as the difference between judging a class and judging a player) 3) I suspect the better coaches are typically better evaluators of talent (especially for their systems) than the recruiting sites 4) consequently offer lists are also a decent indicator of talent (e.g. early offers from several teams who typically get better talent indicates the kid is probably pretty good) 5) no evaluation or no ranking INDICATES NOTHING -- you simply don't know if he was unevaluated because unknown or because deemed unworthy 6) sometimes scheme matters -- e.g. we are looking for a different skill set in QB and OL than that which earns the big stars by the recruiting services 7) the differences between recruiting sites on whether a kid is a 3* or a 4* should also encourage hesitancy in treating them as absolute numbers So, I'm more excited when we land (and more disappointed by our failure to land) a 4* or highly recruited guy that we pursue than I am a 3* or less-recruited guy. However, that's an emotional reaction because it's nice when other people see you as successful. Trusting that our coaches are getting guys that they really want who aren't as widely regarded is not as emotionally satisfying, but I consider it probably more rational. [/QUOTE]
