1.0000 - perfect recruits
Jadeveon Clowney - S.Carolina - DE.......I'd give him a 5.
Robert Nkemdiche - Ole Miss - DE.........4.5
Rashan Gary - Michigan - DT.................4
Vince Young - Texas - QB......................6?  5.5?
Ernie Sims - Florida State - LB...............maxed out at a 4 or so, maybe even 3.5
.
0.9999
Ronald Powell - Florida - DE...................3.5, got hurt, never great
Trevor Lawrence - Clemson - QB.............already a 5, potentially a 6 if he wins another NC
.
0.9998
Dorial Green-Beckham - Missouri - WR.....4?  4.5?  Transfered.
Justin Fields - Georgia - QB.....................4.5 or 5 already for the Buckeyes, we'll see
D.J. Williams - Miami - LB.......................4.5 or 5, always a better prospect than producer
Brock Berlin - Florida - QB.......................3.5 or so, transferred to Miami, nothing special but played plenty
.
Hmmph, not a great lot, altogether.  

FSU
I'll do FSU, because I know a bit about them and no one else here cares about 'em.
I'm also chopping off some decimal places, because 0.9982 is stupid.  It'll be 982.
.
1000 Ernie Sims (see above)
994 - Mario Edwards - DT............3 really, always awaited him to be great, it never came
992 - Lorenzo Booker - RB...........3.5?  Was supposed to be a fast stud...maybe a 4?  3.5 imo
984 - Cam Akers - RB..................4 for sure, but has had a crap OL, should be a 5 or so, for real
982 - Derwin James - S................5, solid 5 - high draft pick and all - met expectations
982 - Travis Johnson - DE.............3?  Definitely started plenty and maybe had injuries, not sure
980 - Chris Davis - ATH................3.5 I guess.  Showed flashes, but didn't earn any real accolades
980 - Fred Rouse - WR.................ton of hype, never did much.  I'd say a 2 or 2.5.
977 - Karlos Williams - S..............wound up sharing time at RB, so a 2.5.
977 - Myron Rolle - S..................good player, played a lot, 3.5 or 4 maybe (not sure).
974 - Jacobbi McDaniel - DT.........never heard of him, not even sure he played much.  1.5 I guess.

So that's their 10 highest-rated recruits since 2000.  One 5-rated guy, one or two 4s.  Idk if this is good, bad, or average.

Fun find:
the QB rated just head of Tim Tebow?  MSU's Jeff Smoker!  Just behind?  JT Daniels - that USC kid that just got replaced.
Recruiting is fun!

My assumption is to a degree any list like this is going to be more disappointing than not because there's a large number of recruits (even .999 ones) and a really small number of 6s and a relatively small number of 5s. 

Like Clowney was a two-time first-team All-American and sixth-place Heisman finisher as a DL and that in some ways feels a tad disappointing (I think he should be a 5.5, but splitting hairs).

So anyway, there aren't so few 5s and 6s and so few guys in those echelons, the crossover isn't gonna be that high. I kind of feel like when you get a dude that good, you still kind of expect a 4.5, maybe a 5 in a few cases. 

I also think there's maybe a higher dummy coefficient when it comes to kids that highly rated. They're by nature super talented, which means the game came easy, which often has downsides. It's a paradox. A certain percent of kids will fight harder if they're low-rated but rest easy if they're high rated, in essence meaning the rating cannot be correct. 

I think  many expect some kid who dominated in HS to do the same in CFB, which obviously is not realistic in many cases.  A five state kid should contribute more often than a 4 or a 3.  A five star recruit almost has nowhere to go but down, or staying even.  So, the odds are he will somewhat disappoint.  A four star can excel and go up, and a 3 can do it even more, while the vast majority of 3s end up not making a name for themselves.

We recall the 3s who excelled because they excelled and forget the vast majority who perhaps played some here and there.

Huskers had one kid in the top 600 = Marlon Lucky - solid starter and a star on that team his jr and sr season, but nothing special

3 including Lucky in the top 800, the mother 2 weren't even solid starters

Highest rated recruit this season, OL from Kansas would fall in about 855

my buddies from Kansas tell he he's soft and won't amount to anything

Looking at this list, Iowa and Michigan have recruited much better than NEbraska

Ndamukong Suh - 0.9797 - 48th in the nation that season -  #867 - the first superstar for the Huskers
