Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Wow, only one guy on the front page (top 50) for OU.

Adrian Peterson, 0.9996, #17 on the list.  I'd say that he rates a 6.

Rhett Bomar, 0.9982, #67.  I'd give him a 6 if we were ranking knuckleheadedness, but maybe a 2.5 for actual contribution.

Tommie Harris, 0.9966, #134.  5.5.

DeMarcus Granger, 0.9964, #143.  3.

Didn't know that....but also find "only 32 five-star players" odd.  To me, 5* guys should only be a few each season.  32 per year seems REALLY high to me.
.
Anywho, I really wish historical recruiting data was available.  Florida has pdfs of its media guides going back to the 40s, so you can read the blurbs on incoming FR.  It's neat to see who was highly-sought after and what other offers they were considering.  

I looked up Emmitt Smith - he was all-everything, as he finished 3rd all-time in yardage and TDs in HS history.  But he also had Nebraska and Auburn in his final 3 choices.  Imagine Emmitt in the option!  

As for having 32 5* kids...

247 has about 5000 kids in its database every year. so, about 0.6 percent are 5*. Then there are roughly 200 4* kids, good for 4 percent. The remaining 4,700 or so kids are 3* or below.

The ratings also have major flaws:

1. 247 only has one ratings guy covering most of the midwestern states, and he cannot possibly see all the games.

2. Some mods from 247 sites (looking at you, Goophs and Huskers) lobby the ratings guys for rating bumps for "their" commits. Sometimes it happens.

3. Most of the ratings are done after junior season, and after the summer camp circuits. Therefore, the ratings guys do not take much senior tape into account. Hurts for late-bloomers. Sometimes they catch the late-bloomers, but only after a commitment is made. 

4. If one of those late-bloomers is a UW commit, he's a 3*. If it's Michigan, he's a 4*.

987 - Jaylon Smith - LB....................is this the guy that got hurt?  4.5-5 or so.  He was really good.
977 - Manti Te'o - LB........................5, and you could push it to 5.5 with the fake girlfriend thing if you really wanted, lol

Smith was a consensus AA guy as a senior, so 5 easy. 

Were it not for the fake GF, I bet Te'o would be a 5.5. Two-time AA. Won every award as a senior, lead an OK team to the title game. 

247 has the composite rankings.

Those rankings include their own, Rivals and ESPN. They used to also include Scout, but they bought Scout.
