Receiving a Fifth Star

[RevNF4AU 0]

I believe we can possibly see three of our current commits receive their fifth star before National Signing Day.

Kerryon Johnson

Darrell Williams

Tony Bridges

Not sure about D Williams, but I would think no brainer for T Bridges and K Johnson. I saw on rivals that KJ was #5 RB but not even listed as an all-purpose back. I am not sure what an all purpose back is if KJ is not there. I would think running and catching the ball out of the backfield would be the definition, but maybe it is a sweep guy that can also run b/t the tackles.

What constitutes a 5* recruit? Seems like I read somewhere that it is the recruiting service's prediction of who will be a 1st round NFL pick. If that's the case, each service ranks 32 5-stars, which means that if they give someone a fifth star, they need to take one away from another recruit. Is this correct or did I misunderstand something?

Moved to recruiting forum where it belongs.

Of that group KJ is the only real possibility.

The 247 only rankings are the only one done that way. The composite, Rivals, ESPN, and Scout are different. To simplify I will only cover composite 5*s which is what we recognize in thread titles. Here's the link to that thread I did on it. Link

I'd like to see how our coaches would pass out star ratings to our recruits. Of course, this will never happen... understandably so.

Chizik tried that with wristbands, it didn't end well. Still confused about how that was thought to be a good idea.

E, based on KJ's showing out at the Rivals camp, I would think he should expect his bump back to a composite 5 star. Will he need more than the Rivals camp?

Maybe. Rivals is the only site that gets to see what KJ did there so that site will be the only site that may give him a bump from that performance.

I thought Kerryon was right on the very edge of being a 5 Star tough. I guess I figured and positive movement would most likely push him past the mark.

He needs a 9 spot bump now. He got dropped a couple spots on the recent rankings on some of the sites.

Thanks. Kerryon is a wonderful athlete.
