[Husker] More fuel for the recruiting fire

[Mike Jaixen]

I saw a similar analysis after last year's NFL draft.  About half of the first round draftees were former four or five star recruits.  Several were either two-star or went unranked.

I don't know that everybody realizes that stars do not guarantee anything.  The rating services are wrong almost as often as they are right.  Sometimes comically so.  It's really a glass half-empty/half-full argument.

Talent is important, no doubt about it.

I think we all realize that stars do not guarantee anything.  The higher the
stars, the more likely success is. 

Post from ESPN looking at the All-SEC team and how they were rated out of
high school.  Just under half (10 of 22) were on the ESPN top 150. 2 were
unranked/slightly recruited.
