I stand behind my research.


Back in December, I pulled up the top-rated VT recruits per 247 sports and I found that roughly 40% of the 3 star and 4 star recruits did not contribute. I left the last couple classes out since it's premature to write them off. The 5 star recruits were top-tier BUT Marcus Vick was a 5 star. I'm basing my opinion on the list that goes back 20+ years. I linked the list below so check it out.

I would argue that recruiting rankings reflect which school is making offers to said recruit. The kid is highly rated if Alabama and Clemson make offers. I do agree that a recruit is less likely to slip through the cracks with all the camps and video sites.

Bama and Clemson tend to get more 5 star players. Per 247, Tech has had four 5* players over the last twenty years while Alabama probably gets that many in one class. Bama/Clemson also have strong coaching/schemes that also help them dominate their leagues.
