This pretty much proves my point. Sure, there could hypothetically be more, better players in 2019 than 2010. However, if you removed the money from the system... especially the excess now vs. then, would there be a larger pool of "better" player? My assumption is there are more 5* because the more a service has the more money that flows, not because there is actually a higher number of talented kids.
Don't get blinded by the light. That's all I'm trying to say. Sure, these services have some value. But only to a certain point and I believe they've passed it. Hinging on whether a kid is good or not because he's a 5* or a 2* is the dumbest thing ever. A 5* to one coach and system could be a 2* to another and vice-versa.
We've actually seen Kelly do leaps and bounds better with 2* in both development and wins than he has with 5* who generally bust for him.

- This comment is not what most of the post I have seen on here have stated, saying that ND isn't - MrP - 11:30am 8/15/19
- Stars are important as far as talent goes. I mean look at Alabama and Clemson. Yes, mistakes are - THEISMANCARR - 10:43am 8/15/19
- Finally, a sense of reason. The idea of the service is good, but it's more pay to play or marketing - oldirish - 8:17am 8/15/19
- I think we all know this, but # of stars is directly related to likelihood of success in college - Chris94 - 10:22pm 8/14/19
- Likelihood, yes, guarantee, no. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 9:44am 8/15/19

- If more 5 stars are given, then obviously more would be drafted. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. [NT]
