22 of 32 players picked in the first round were former blue-chippers. - A 5-star recruit coming out of high school was nine times more likely to go in the first round than a 4-star recruit. - A 5-star recruit coming out of high school was 85 times more likely to go in the first round than a 3-star recruit.

I believe 2023 Washington, 2022 TCU, and 2010 Oregon are the only teams to make it to a national championship game that aren’t averaging a top 10 recruiting class in a 4 year cycle in the 21st century.
