and a hall of fame coach like Roy Williams.
Q: how many national titles does Roy have?A: Not enough. I'll keep our 5 heart players and Frank, thank you very much.
FYI:These guys lead the nation in scoring:http://rivals.yahoo.com/kansasstate/basketball/recruiting/player-Jimmer-Fredette-56117;_ylt=AgRdGLGklFD1y4RTMpVAlsjasJB4http://rivals.yahoo.com/kansasstate/basketball/recruiting/player-Kemba-Walker-60134;_ylt=Aiv5x48MWDxeA7T80KC.A9PasJB4Kemba Walker's offer list sucks for how highly rated he was.While somewhat reliable, especially on the highest end (like top 10-20 players), stars are waaayyy overrated as the "end all be all" of how good a player is. Most kids aren't done growing/filling out when they're 16-18 years old. Big dudes especially don't get their feet under them for a while after they stop growing. I would love to see some empirical evidence as to how accurate these rankings are, but I'm guessing there is none (obviously Rivals and Scout aren't going to evaluate how accurate their forecasts are). Like all forecasting, its complete useless unless it is backtested. Until then, it should continue to make for some really stupid bulletin board threads.

It's called the NBA draft.
What are the results? 2 rounds at 32 players a round = 64 players (needs to be adjusted for foreign players). Of the college players I would presume at least half are 5 stars and the other half 4 stars.TIA

Look at Clemente and Jon Scheyer. The reverse is also true.
Is this seriously a 4/5 star players are overrated in college basketball thread? JFC you tards.
