Stars dont mean crap in my opinion. Its all about the opportunity to get on the field.

Stars? A guest last week on the NFL radio network was the head man for 247. They were discussing stars and the fact no five stars playing in Super Bowl. According to him they get their ranking from about three hundred coaches across the country.

I guess a player in this area might be graded by a UL, LSU, and or McBrokeback staff, maybe all three.

After they get all the coaching input they assign the values to each player. So if LSU, UL, and McBrokeback say player A is a no miss stud he might be a five star, if he has a flaw maybe a four, and so on. He said they use some sort of algorithm formula to determine national rank.

I suspect if UL has a kid as an absolute stud, and LSU sees a flaw it is a four star, and so on. It never explains how a kid goes overnight from a four star to a three star when he chooses someone other than a P5 school. He did say players stars go up and down in the season based on how they play, and I guess the three hundred coach surveys.

Exactly what I was saying when I was watching a highlight tape. Just surprised he is only a 2 star

Because he committed to Southern Miss so earlier, had he opened up his recruiting he could have been rated a 3-Star.

Nice size for an outside linbacker 6'3" 235. I wonder how fast he is?.

He ran a 4.65 at UL's camp. Best edge rusher at any of their camps.

The amount of talent on this defense is going to be nuts. On paper it has to rival any D we have had in the past

[Crowley Cajun]

Right now, ESPN has him rated as a 3 star.

Sweet. This is turning out to be a great class. Could this be the best class ever?

The 2014 class was regarded by many as "the best ever". Now one year later we are having the best ever conversation again. I must admit, Hud and staff are doing an amazing job.

10 3-star athletes on Scout. TEN!

Have we ever had more? Boomer can you get me that info?

Considering the negative recruiting they have to overcome by being in this ____-hole conference, they are doing an amazing job.

I agree. It was just 5 years ago we were happy to get a full class or a few kids with a single star. To get one 3-Star kid was amazing.
