Florida is recruiting with some juice again, so the 2016 class is worth revisiting.
Original #16 → S2S #2
28 recruits
13 NFL players
$142.2M public NFL earnings
That class finished a lot better than signing-day expectations. #S2S

Top-10 recruiting class doesn’t mean top-10 outcome.
Across the published 2004–2016 S2S data, 42% of classes that signed in the top 10 finished outside the top 10 once careers were scored.
That’s a lot of elite signing-day classes that didn’t finish there. #S2S
Want to just give an appreciation post to all the Oklahoma State fans that have followed us today!
Thanks for being loyal and true and supporting us! Can’t thank you all enough! #GoPokes

Oklahoma — 97.7
USC — 81.5
Texas A&M — 78.3
Louisville — 70.2
Florida State — 69.6
Oklahoma’s gap at the top is the part that jumps out. #S2S ⤵️

Today the NFL plays its first regular-season game in Rio de Janeiro.
Ravens. Cowboys. Maracanã. 1:25 PM PT.
Not every post needs a model or a rerank. Sometimes the football story is simply that the stage got bigger.
Here’s a recruiting class that makes the whole Stars2Stats idea make sense:
UConn 2008: original #103 → S2S rerank #4.
0% blue-chip rate. 6 NFL players. $36.8M in Public NFL earnings. All 6 S2S hits were originally unranked. #S2S

Michigan-Iowa comes with a very Iowa stat:
Iowa is #2 in the current S2S Tight End Position-U rankings. Michigan is #32.
Iowa: Overall 2.0 | Prod 2.8 | Dev 1.3 | n=19.
The “Iowa tight end” thing has receipts. #S2S
