Hope that's sarcasm. And it was rude of you to bring it up. You know how touchy the astrologers are about facts.

you're too smart not to understand percentages.
I would consider this purposeful stupidity.
but you seem intent in your purpose.

Here's the current backup (a redshirt junior):
Jacob Finn - Football - Florida Gators
I kind of remember there's a stud punter in the 2020 class that was looking hard at us, but can't find any details.

Toney, Townsend, McPherson, and maybe Zuniga as well. 4/7? I compute that as 57 per cent. But I'm old and maybe I remembered their classifications incorrectly. And three stars make make up about half the class? I am just"blue skying". Help me out. Boy, that is some demonstration of the superiority of 4/5 stars.

No you old fvkktard, you divide it into the number of 3 stars and number of 4* to find their success rate. You are trying to be stupid.
And kickers dont count bc they are all 3 stars.
The percentage of successful 3 stars is about 1/20th of what 4 stars are. And the number of successful 2 stars is like 1:200,000.

Don't go global; the percentages that matter are the percentages of the three stars on this Gator team versus the 57 per cent of three stars on the preseason all sec team.
I expected the kickers don't count excuse. Never want to deal with the facts. Always want to massage the facts to suit astrology.

Exactly, the kickers always count when it is "look at home many three stars there are in this class or on this roster."
I have long wondered if the three star players signed by UF, UGa, UAL, LSU, UTx, Ohio State, UMich, SoCal etc work out better on average despite tougher competition than those at say Vandy, Duke, Miss State, etc.
As far as your questions goes and really by 247 Townsend, McPherson, Toney, Perine, Reese from Michigan and Zuniga are all composite three stars and only Henderson being a four star. That makes it 6/7 or 86% three stars. In terms of your measure the composite talent ranking are not updated on 247 yet, but if the numbers do not change too much from last years 12th rated talents it is 1/35 of the composite four and five star recruits or about 3% of them were voted preseason all SEC this year while 6/43 or about 14% of the three star recruits were voted preseason all SEC this year.
So:
1. Perhaps this is a credit to the staffs that evaluated and signed those three star players.
2. Or perhaps when your brand is damaged more of the four star players you can get are the ones other programs evaluated and passed on?
3. Or perhaps this is a preseason bias as many four and five star guys who had good years last year and were eligible declared for the NFL draft while 3 start guys who had good year know they do not have the measurements to be drafted and hang around in greater percentages. Thus they get voted on to preseason all conference teams, but the post season all conference teams will have more younger or coming off of injury four and five star guys who have played little last year, but have big years this year with more playing time or a healthy season.

This is the kid coming in who is supposed to be the next punter (he's a kicker/punter, but expected to punt):
Tyler Waxman
In-state kicker finds no reason to wait, teams up with the Gators
GatorsTerritory - In-state kicker finds no reason to wait, teams up with the Gators
Dan Mullen and Greg Knox, the running backs coach and special teams coordinator in Gainesville, has reeled in their specialist for the class of 2019.
Tyler Waxman is armed with scholarship offers from Air Force, Cornell, Georgetown, FAMU and Morgan State, but simply couldn't say no to the game-changing opportunity awaiting him in Gainesville.
Waxman says he is committed to Dan Mullen's program as a preferred walk-on.
A product of Pembroke Pines (Fla.) West Broward, Waxman also spent much of this past weekend in the Swamp before ultimately making his decision on Sunday evening.
"Florida was the choice for me because it’s the only school in the nation with a top 10 football program and education," Waxman told GatorsTerritory. "Along with the coaching staff, everyone was very welcoming to me and my family. With the outstanding Gator community and hot Florida weather, choosing the University of Florida for me was an easy decision."
Waxman, who handled punting and kickoff duties as well, connected on 12-of-15 field goals as a senior. He also recorded a season-long of 45 yards, but connected from that distance multiple times.
The 5-foot-10, 160-pound Waxman is just as impressive when handling his day-to-day assignments in the classroom as well.
The South Florida native holds a stellar 4.6 GPA, while scoring a 1330 during the SAT.

Well .... regardless, uprising UF needs to attract more 5*s, mostly 4*, displacing 3*s'
Hopefully, we have a coaching staff-system that upgrades star-power with skills and FB-IQ development. We've been missing that for too many seasons.
It seems both recruiting-staff and coaching-staff needs some firing-hiring for the fastest surest turnaround?

Waxman, from the video, looks smooth and effortless.
On FGs he gets it up quick, so no blocks.
Those "sky kickoffs" were entertaining = 25 yard onside kicks?
At only 160 pounds, can he be strengthened ?
First sentence of his quote was cute. He chose UF 'cause "UF has the only top 10 FB program" -- guess he blanked on the other needed 9 programs?
Bet Waxman will bring good Gator spirit.
PS>> I figured he might have meant that we were the only top10 program to offer him.

It absolutely pisses me off that only one player is on first team. Remember when we used to dominate that list?
