I'm just glad the ACC has phased out the bowls before Christmas. Those suck hard for fans that want to travel to the bowls.
this kid went to high school with my best friend from home. never heard one good thing about him. he can go to fsu (or elsewhere) for all I care. I know that sounds terrible, but I'm so over the hooplah with him.
Ah, the rich pageantry and history of the AdvoCare V100 bowl.
We preferred when you were the Poulan Weed-Eater Bowl.
Your username is doubly entertaining.
I think the goal should be the Chick Fil A bowl. I would consider that a successful season.
Pasadena. /drinks more
Congratulations!
You passed!
Chick-Fil-A, Sun or Music City.
Most likely Sun or Music City
maybe he should go to UNC, it would be a match made in heaven! Can you say Afro-American studies y'all?
It would seem though that if he can't get through the Clearinghouse, the offer won't even matter. From what I understand, this is purely an NCAA thing and not a VT Admissions problem.
Name one recent great FSU running back. I can't think of one either
I'm not sure if they tracked the outcome of 4 and 5 star recruits or just the number of draft picks versus recruits. I think they did the simplier analysis. They did not check the stars of each draft pick.
If that is the case then any number over 1.0 would indicate "coaching up", i.e. more 3 or less stars getting drafted. Less than 1.0 means fewer 4 or 5 stars getting drafted then expected. The big assumption is an expectation that 4 or 5 star recruits should end up drafted into the NFL. Not all do and there are many reasons why.
The most interesting part of this stat is the lack of individual success of teams with lots of high ranked recruits. It shows that predicting success based on numbers is not very easy.

# | Best & Worst Colleges for Converting Elite Recruits into NFL Draft Picks That's my point. A smaller number of our recruits are 4/5 stars. So if we have the same number of players drafted as FSU does, then our number is higher than FSU's. I bet the statistic would change drastically if 3 star recruits changed. I think this metric is best to express which teams do the best job of recruiting and coaching. Not necessarily who converts 4/5 star prospects into NFL draft picks.
This really is "Who does more with less" vs. "Who does less with more"
Except for Minnesota, K-State, and Wazzou. Don't quite fit the paradigm.
After last season I'm really scared about how the offense is gonna be rated especially after the spring game. I don't see the O being rated over 85 or B and Logan wont be above 90. And with these lazy bitches at EA sports that don't do roster updates for NCAA i feel like we are gonna get the shaft on offense in that game. But I hope Kendall is rated between 75-80
I'd agree with you, but I don't think the statistic includes 3-star recruits

# | Best & Worst Colleges for Converting Elite Recruits into NFL Draft Picks This statistic is really in our favor. Bud picks up a lot of 3 star kids who fit his scheme well and then coaches them up to NFL level. A lot of those teams in the bottom 15 only really sign 4 and 5 star kids. Granted, they don't coach these kids as well. I think the reason more of the classic elite teams are in the bottom 15 rather than the top 15 is for this reason. The top 15 seems to have teams who sign recruits who are deemed to have lesser talent, when the kids are really gems no one has looked into. Really skews this data to the schools who do a little more homework when they recruit.
This study considers the last six NFL drafts, and examines the top sixty schools in terms of relevant recruiting cycles over the past twelve years.
It said it was like 60 schools, but they had to have had both draft picks and 4+ four- or five-star recruits over the last 6 years.
Is this only looking at power conference schools? Because I find it hard to believe that Boise State wouldn't be on that list.
Pretty much. But this proves that uva football... is uva football
someone send this to Quin Blanding...
It's calculated by dividing the number of draft picks by the number of 4 and 5 stars. I think the study period was the last 6 years, or something close to that. So it isn't the most scientific or enlightening analysis, but it is still interesting.

# | Best & Worst Colleges for Converting Elite Recruits into NFL Draft Picks Interesting information, thanks for sharing. Any clue how the rating is calculated? Seems that schools that get high rankings typically don't land many blue chip recruits. Also, I'm curious as to why the difference between us and WVU is so large? The difference between our rating and WVU's is just as large as the difference between our score and Oklahoma.
BCS National Championship. Obviously.
