But here is one, you shouldn't extrapolate from a sample that was under multiple regime changeovers, which influences starts and transfers...basically rendering the data meaningless.

Instead, I would like to see a star breakdown on players from our championship teams and perhaps those from other schools. Similar studies have been conducted and posted here with some degree of regularity.

Yet here we are still discussing the value of the star system while Bama continues to play for titles every year with their incredible assembly of high-rated classes.

Perhaps we should share the analysis posted here with Saban in attempt to change his approach to recruiting.

==============================

The merits of star ratings are a continual topic of discussion here, and I've not seen information posted here in the unique and interesting way gatsby compiled it. While such an analysis might not be without flaw, it's useful info that I believe adds insight to the overall topic. 

There was a lot of discussion here last week about the board "thought police" trying to suppress certain viewpoints. I might suggest your post falls into that category.
