So say a couple in a thread on the football board.
List of uncommitted croots listed on Rivals with "high interest" in Auburrn.

List of uncommitted who list Auburn with "medium interest".

We have 9 slots left to fill, or so I thought. Bammer, currently shows 26 commits. I thought we now had a hard 25 limit, no?
At any rate, there's a significant number of players, and I mean real players, that have been being recruited by a staff that has shown it can land big name croots. I'm not fucking worried until we only sign 16 on signing day, or if we suddenly fill the class out with 2* players despite the fact that the current 16 has 10 4 * players among them.

Our needs for the most part are DL and OL. When these guys sign the dotted line, we will be very pleased. I would like to see a few more LB's in this class.

Both links just take you to the general database.

Just saw that, don't know how to fix it.
Go here and search Uncommitted/Auburn/Interest level.

Yes, you can olny sign 25. If someone like the Collins kid commits to you, you find him a spot. Someone loses their offer. You drop that "project" kid for the sure thing.

The word for today, boys and girls is PROCESS. Aiight? It's pronounced (PRAH' - SESS)
In every day language, it's a Lord Saybinism meaning the act of kicking a mofo to the curb when said mofo does not appear to fit in with the Master Race.

But if Nick is such a great coach, he can just coach 'em up can't he? But what you're saying is, some poor kid is going to get prawsessed before he ever sets foot on campus?

I imagine that someone will "decommit" before signing day.

Well 2 probably won't make it due to grades, and you can still back count kids assuming you have the numbers. I believe Alabama has 3 spots open to back count.

Leave it to a bammer to "back count." That's how you got your 43,298 National Championships.

Well, he took a few 3* guys and got them drafted in the 1st and 2nd rounds of the draft not too long ago. That doesn't happen very often though. It's usually your 4 and 5* guys that are going to get drafted. You guys have alot of 4* kids and have recruited well the past few years, so I'm sure you guys will have plenty going highly in the draft in a year or so. Right?

There was a guy who looked at the ratings for players drafted to the NFL in 2008. In the first round, five 5 stars, eleven 4 stars, seven 3 stars, and seven 2 stars were drafted (one guy was drafted from the FCS).
In the second round, four 5 stars, ten 4 stars, nine 3 stars, and five 2 stars were drafted (four guys were drafted from the FCS).
So, it's not really that rare to have a 3 star get drafted in the first and second rounds.

Break that down in to percentages of each "star level" and you'll see an undeniable "trend".

Makes sense. After all, according to rivals there are 27 5 star rrecruits nationwide. There are 64 picks in the first two rounds, you're gonna have a lot of lower ranked guys in there.

Thanks for posting that to save me the typing. There are very few 5 stars on Rivals. A lot more 4 stars and even more 3 stars.

The same guy said that only 1% of Division I-A college players receive 5 stars. It just makes sense that there will be tons more 2 and 3 stars than there are 4 and 5 stars, so they (2 and 3 stars) are bound to get into the first and second rounds of the draft pretty often.

5* players are the top 1% relative to their cohorts. So, they're a small percentage. In the 2011 NFL draft, however, their were seven 5* players in the first 10 picks, while only 2 were 3*.
If you look at the NFL draft in that sense, the "star rankings" get it right most of the time.
On average, in the first 3 rounds of the draft, of the roughly 30 5 Star players coming out of HS, close to half get drafted, of the roughly 300 4* players rougly 10% get drafted, of the 750 3* players only about 4% get drafted, and of the 1700 2* players only about 1% get drafted.

If you look at only the first 10 picks, yeah, you're right. And in general, if you're a 5 star, then you have a very high probability of going in the first or second round, whereas you have less of a probability to do so as a two or three star.
But the particular statement that I was directing those stats was that it's "rare" for a three star to be drafted in the first or second round. Although the five stars often get picked earlier, it's not uncommon to see just as many if not more two or three stars being drafted in the first or second round.
And sure, if you are a two or three star, your chances at being drafted period go way down. But nonetheless, the point was that it's not uncommon to see as many or more two and three stars being drafted in the first and second rounds as you do four and five stars.

Really though, what does any of this have to do with LED light bulbs? I need to know.

It's not "rare" as it happens every year, but when viewed by percentage, the numbers bear out that the "star rankings" aren't as specious as some think.
