    I just stabbed myself in vital areas. It's part of a new game I invented. Can I finish reading Teq's posts before bleeding out? It's fun.

    If I don't hear from you in the next 15 minutes I'll give you my T's and P's

    But 5 were recruited by Sark ... or so I heard

    What's insane is that Pete already had two true juniors leave from the #35 rated transition class.
    I don't know what year it started, but everyone is a 3 star now so they star ratings compared to years ago might not be as relevant. There were actually 2 star players back in 2010.

    Don't twist that to me saying this class ain't better than in years past. It is, but the ratings are higher all around.
    I won't slap you upside the head for saying this class isn't better than in years past, but I'll slap you for not thinking critically and making an excuse for a comment to play both sides without having to take a stand.

    What I don't dispute from what you said is that there's clearly a better evaluation process for players today than 10 years ago whether it be from the camps, more "scouts" in the field, Hudl film, etc. 10 years ago a guy like Mason Foster was an unknown because he was outside of a traditional area and because of that he was viewed as a 2 star not because that was his ceiling but because a 2 star basically was indicative that nobody evaluated him.

    Where I find your comment lacking is that it would have taken you no more than 5-10 minutes of research to go through historical rankings from Scout by an average star rating to figure out how much inflation there is in today's star rankings versus in years prior. I took the top 25 classes by star average to find what the average star ranking was for those classes (using average star to make sure that I'm picking up quality versus quantity):

    2009: 3.43
    2013: 3.53
    2017: 3.61

    So, from 2009 to 2017, there's about a 5% "inflation" if you will in the average star rating for the average player in a Top 25 quality class. From 2013 to 2017, it's a little more than a 2% gap in inflation.

    The conclusion to me is that going back in Sark's tenure, you could make an argument that the "inflation" was systematic because not all recruits were getting evaluated. By 2013 though, 2% inflation to me can't be viewed as systematic and instead can be tied to the growing gap in college football between the have's and the have not's.

    I said this class is better. I didn't want to take 5-10 minutes to go research on scout. Star rankings compared to other schools is very important and I never said otherwise. Fuck off.

    Looking forward to having "Washington" being dropped all over the damned place.

    Anyone have a link to a listing by school how many players being invited to this year's combine?

    I'm assuming Alabama has 253 ....
