Thats a tough speculation, remember that most 4 and 5 star kids go to big time programs where you usually dont see playing time as a true freshman.  Kind of hard to make the All-American freshman team without playing.

Thank you.

Great point Walty!

Your statement doesn't make sense either, because you are basically stating that 2-3 star kids are playing as freshman more the 4-5 star players are sitting at the big schools.

How does that not make sense? If 3 star player signs with FAU he's got a pretty good chance to play as a freshman. If that same kid commits to FSU, yeah he has a chance to play as a freshman, but he's got a better chance of being redshirted and sitting on the bench for 2 -3 seasons before he sees time

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Thanks Jab, seems pretty simple to me.

so you mean to tell me more 2-3 star players are starting than 4-5 stars… makes no sense, but Whatever…

50/50 on the all American Freshman Team is still a big split no matter who is sitting or playing, that shows that some of the "2-3*" recruits can compete!

Plus our few proud 2-3* owls that have moved on to the pros.

Pretty sure that Jean was the only one who was 2 star? Morris maybe, but believe that came after he committed…

We are Home of the ONE Star Pros!

From a guy that thinks the Hurricanes are going to win the Super Bowl and the Fed Ex Cup in the next two years what do you expect?  ;D

CB Jalen Mills got the opportunity to start at LSU because Tyrone Mathieu was dismissed just before the season started. The same can be said for Penn State tight end Kyle Carter. Aside from that, it's really only the linebackers and offensive lineman who where underrated and got unnoticed by the stars system.
