Wanna see how many you remember from our list of lowest rated recruits? I'm guessing fewer. Quote Link to comment

They were giving bonuses for the combat arms (armor, infantry, artillery), but i was signing up to be in commo. They tried three times to lure me with the $$$$ but I held fast. That last day in the induction center, I talked with several potential mechanics, radio repair guys and intel guys that took the $$$ and went to combat arms. I just shook my head. LOL. I went airborne infantry (idiot), but they weren't offering money for that when I joined. Quote Link to comment

Call yourself an idiot if you want, but you are one brave idiot at that. Well done, and thanks for serving. When did you serve? Quote Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Didn't 2005 have 11 4-stars along with 2 5-star players? Wouldn't that be the record? 5 stars Bowman Lucky 4 stars Suh Potter Dillard Octavien Dagunduro Hardy Leon Jackson Brooks Beck Picou Tomerlin Some 3stars from that class that made great to good contributions.. Zac Taylor Barry Turner Hickman Cody Glen As well as a guy that was unrated in Matt Slausen Quote Link to comment

What measurements are used, how much is subjective if any?? Also 4 star vs 3 star?? Thanks The shortest version I can offer is that it’s a projection for team/NFL contribution. 5 stars are your top ~30 players in the country and extremely likely to play in the league. 4 stars are your top 1000, good shot at the NFL, and it goes down from there. A 3 star is expected to eventually be a major contributor to their college team with a chance at an NFL roster. Someone else can correct me or do better for sure. Edit to add: Sometimes a player who hasn’t attended many/any camps will be significantly lower rated, and the system does favor people who matured physically earlier.
