Ok, here are some facts.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.
The first team All SEC team announced today (offense, defense and special teams) breaks out as follows with regards to stars.
5 stars - 7 (27%)
4 stars - 11 (42%)
3 stars - 5 (19%)
2 stars - 3 (12%)
The typical distribution of stars on any given recruiting class is as follows
5 stars - 30 (0.8%)
4 stars - 350 (10%)
3 stars - 1,300 (36%)
2 stars - 1,900 (53%)
So, 5 stars make up less than 1% of recruits, but represent 27% of the first team All SEC team and 4 stars make up only 10% of recruits but represent 42% of the first team All SEC team. At the same time, 2 and 3 stars make up 89% of recruits but only represent 31% of the first team All SEC team, 2 of which (8%) are kickers.
I think those facts speak for themselves.
