feels like the Patriots always do good finding niche rolls for less heralded guys. For a while there, their most represented college team on their roster was Rutgers. Not sure if it still was but I doubt many of them were highly rated coming out of high school even if they had a few decent years under Schiano.

Feel like if we can get just a few more 4* players each season, especially on the line(s), we would build that quality depth we need....

Loaded with a bunch of Greg Schiano players but that's none of my business, he's not a good coach.

Greg Schiano is an arsehole

A better barometer for our purposes are the star ratings in the CFP championship...Bama/Uga starters were almost all 4 and 5 stars.

That said, the NFL is full of three stars and guys who weren’t ranked out of HS

The NFL is full of 3 star guys is because as the article mentions, 1 in 770 recruits are rated as a 4 star and up. By sheer volume, there should be more 3 stars than 4-5 stars. The fact that the starters in this game skew towards higher stars is telling.

I am very firmly of the "stars isn't everything camp", but having a few studs can change any team.

Mostly on ‘D’

We were close with trey flowers if I recall correctly. Last minute flip maybe

Why do you think most of these guys end up at factories? Big hint: it’s not for our biggest selling point.

The star rankings are based a lot on the schools that offer them. If Bama and Georgia offer a fringe 3/4* kid then he’s more likely to be a 4* than if he was offered by Tulane and Georgia Tech. That’s why those big schools are loaded with 4 and 5 Star guys....because those guys went to those schools.

The NFL doesn’t give a crap about star rankings. They care about talent...plain and simple. The Patriots are the best team in the league and have been for quite some time. They played in 7 straight AFC championship games with rosters like the one in that link.

Tech lags more in depth than average Talent, but will never have rosters full of 4 and 5 Star guys because we don’t sell enough subscriptions to the sites that rank the players.

And there’s another huge difference between the NFL and college, the NFL draft is built for the purpose of parity. There is no effort to create parity in college recruiting. In fact, most effort’s actually prevent it.

Imagine if the worst college football teams were allowed to pick first from all the college recruits…

On the flipside, imagine if there were no salary caps and no draft in the NFL and players were instant free agents.

Jerry Jones would buy a Superbowl.

There were only 3 repeat playoff teams in the NFL this year. Let that sink in a little bit about parity. If there was a 16 team college playoff, I guarantee there would be at least 10 perennials.

Tech has little depth because we LOSE SO MANY GUYS WE SIGN before graduation..Last yr if we had Marshall,Mills,Fromeyer and Klock ,the season would have ben e different.In '13 we lost 7 of 15 signees for "some" reason.That is a KILLER.

actually recently we've been losing people to graduation. they get out in 3.5 years then decide to hang it up.

Shaq Mason was barely ranked a composite 3*. Some services like 247 rated him as a 2*.

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

Again, I think the correct way mathematically to look at things is as follows:

Ratio of 4/5 star recruits that get into NFL vs. actual quantity of them to begin with.

Ratio of 2/3 star recruits that get into the NFL vs. actual quantity of them to begin with.

If you look at it this way, the ratio of 4/5 guys who make the NFL would be much greater, I believe, than the ratio of 2/3 star guys. It may only be 25% vs. 9%, but there is a difference. The denominator of the 2/3 star guys is SO, SO much bigger.

and I think that will be a problem withe the Defoors OL who just transferred in.. Good student so gets through.--may bail on last yr and that will hurt..
