NDSU signed 17 HS seniors: Total players with stars from Rivals.com = 1.

... and this is actually an "up" year when it comes to getting stars from Rivals.com.

No FBS transfers either - haven't had any since going FCS.

Which recruit had a star? I was looking on rivals and could not find anything.:confused:

Star evals by Rivals or anyone else mean little until the recruits get on the playing field...

That is so true. GSU has had dozens of All-Americans who were walk-ons. If you look at the 2007 signing class at GSU, you'll find 1 three star and three two star recruits among the high schoolers signed. Four others are listed as one star on Rivals or Scout, but none of them may turn out to be really good. Hopefully they will be, but you don't know until they hit the field.

I agree that there are so many players that fly under the radar. For some reason the college scouts don't see them. Star rankings seem to be based on how many FBS college scouts are drooling over a player. Then the player gets an offer on the table his ranking goes up. An offer from one or two FCS schools seems to only garner 1 star. If a player gets a FBS offer they go to 2 stars and multiple FBS offers can get them to 3 stars and above.

Some States don't get heavily recruited too. Colorado is 4.5 million, they have 3 FBS schools plus Wyoming gets a lot of players there. They had 37 players get scholarships to FBS this year. Montana has 940,000 which is 21% the size of Colorado. We should have 8 players get FBS scholarship offers using the math. We had 1. This is why Montana has pretty good teams year in and year out. Montana kids are playing FCS because they fly under the radar with few scouts coming here to watch the kids.
