Recruiting - What Happened To the 5-Star Prospects?

How many of the superstar recruits actually pan out? Richard Cirminiello goes back four years to see how many of the 5-star prospects actually lived up to their billing, like former Oklahoma star Adrian Peterson, and which fizzled.

The 5-star recruit.  The Holy Grail for any coaching staff, university, and fan base.  There are good high school players, and then there are the 5-star athletes, the top 1% of available candidates, and the caliber of players that programs and recruiting classes are built around.  However, the glow of landing one of these rare gems can sometimes fade before the following Februarys signing day.  The reality is that even the highest-rated recruits can be hit-or-miss, an inexact science that can be exhilarating or unbelievably frustrating.  To illustrate this point, weve taken a revisionist look at the 30 5-star recruits from four years ago to see who lived up to expectations and who was living a lie.  Weve also revised the ratings of each player to reflect how well theyve matched lofty advanced billings since leaving high school.
