A HIGH 3 star? :lol:

Where did you come up with that? Didn't know there were different degrees of stars. Perhaps we should have them in .5 increments.

Got it from the Houston Board.... I claim no knowledge of the kid..

Star rating is based on an equation, he was rated 78 and 80 is necessary to be a 4 star. I think

You can have high four stars and low ones because that's what the bulk of the top 200-250 kids are. There's only 30 or so 5 stars each year. So a high 4 star could be a top 50 kid. That's really good. A high three star is probably nationally ranked between 400-500. Not so great.

He's a plan c kid. Welcome aboard.

A safety who played OLB... could have a kid like that play a Marcus Maye type role

Agree, he's a project but that means he could add 20/25 lbs and be a Star or not......

He is ranked 107 in Texas.

*** He seems to stand around a lot and doesn't have good tackling technique...

Every rating service assigns each recruit a grade.

This is how Rivals does it:

Rivals assigns each player a number in their evaluation (RR). Here's what they mean.

  • 6.1 Franchise Player; considered one of the elite prospects in the country, generally among the nation's top 25 players overall; deemed to have excellent pro potential; high-major prospect
  • 6.0-5.8 All-American Candidate; high-major prospect; considered one of the nation's top 300 prospects; deemed to have pro potential and ability to make an impact on college team
  • 5.7-5.5 All-Region Selection; considered among the region's top prospects and among the top 750 or so prospects in the country; high-to-mid-major prospect; deemed to have pro potential and ability to make an impact on college team
  • 5.4-5.0 Division I prospect; considered a mid-major prospect; deemed to have limited pro potential but definite Division I prospect; may be more of a role player
  • 4.9 Sleeper; no Rivals.com expert knew much, if anything, about this player; a prospect that only a college coach really knew about
To put it another way, 6.1 and above are 5*, 5.8 - 6.0 are 4*, 5.5 - 5.7 are 3*, 5.0 - 5.4 are 2*, 4.9 and under are 1*

Rivals assigned Donovan Stiner a 5.7 making him as close to a 4* as you can possibly get without actually being a 4*

The Worldwide Leader is a relative newcomer to the recruiting game. Like Rivals, each player is assigned a number -- only this time, it's on a 100-point scale:

Rare prospects: 100-90 [Five stars]
These players demonstrate rare abilities and can create mismatches that have an obvious impact on the game. These players have all the skills to take over a game and could make a possible impact as true freshmen. They should also push for All-America honors with the potential to have a three-and-out college career with early entry into the NFL draft.

Outstanding prospects: 89-80 [Four stars]
These players have the ability to create mismatches versus most opponents and have dominant performances. These players could contribute as a true freshmen and could end up as all-conference or All-America candidates during their college careers and develop into difference-makers over time.

Good prospects: 79-70 [Three stars]
These players show flashes of dominance, but not on a consistent basis -- especially when matched up against the top players in the country. Players closer to a 79 rating possess BCS-caliber ability and the potential to be a quality starter or all-conference player. Players closer to a 70 rating are likely non-BCS conference caliber prospects.

Solid prospects: 69-60 [Two stars]
These players are overmatched versus the better players in the nation. Their weaknesses will be exposed against top competition, but have the ability to develop into solid contributors at the non-BCS FBS level and could be a quality fit for the FCS level of play.

This is basically the same as Rivals, which should come as no surprise - 247 was founded by the guys who sold Rivals to Yahoo! for a presumably large sum of cash.

110-101 = A player ranked in this range is a "franchise player." He is one of the best to come along in years - if not decades (LeBron James, Adrian Peterson). Odds of having a player in this category every year is slim. This prospect has "can't miss" talent.

100-98 = Five-star prospect. One of the top 25 or so prospects in the nation. Player has excellent pro potential, and should emerge as one of the best players in the country before his college career ends.

97-90 = Four-star prospect. Prospect will be an impact-player for his college team. All-America candidate who displays pro potential. Typically one of the top 300 players in the nation.

89-80 = Three-star prospect. These are the players who will develop into reliable starters for the college teams. They are among the best players in their region of the country, and are generally among the top 750 players in the nation.

79-below = Two-star prospect. These players make up the bulk of Division I rosters. They may have little pro potential, are likely to become role players for their respective schools or not enough is known about the prospect to rank them accurately.
