Of the 96 selections, 14 had 3-star ratings (about 15%).
From 2014-2016 about 25% of the conferences signees listed on 247 were 3-star guys.

Unless the attrition of 3-star guys is pretty big across the entire conference and much bigger than attrition for the two star guys at best stars are useless to predict all-conference awards and at worst two-stars actually are more likely to get first-team all-conference honors.

I also thought the number of 3-star signees by the entire conference by year was interesting...
2014: 39
2015: 77
2016: 72
2017: 71
2018: 94

Do you have any idea that the two star and three star rankings have numbers attached to them? Most Belt three stars are closer to a two than a four. I am pretty sure nobody is saying there is a huge difference in a .794 and a .795 recruit lol but a huge one in a .794 and .894 the .795 is going to a Belt team the .894 three star could be headed to AL...I know you knew that right?

Also basic stats question, was the amount of three and two star- populations the same if not raw numbers are meaningless. It is basically saying because there are more three and two star guys in the NFL then rankings are meaningless...
