Gopher Broke has this in another thread. I think it shows not all of the All Big Ten award winners are four star recruits.

It's interesting.
Looking at raw numbers is completely ridiculous when analyzing recruiting rankings. You have to look at them as a whole.
The article points out these facts:
According to ESPN: The all Big Ten team consists of
1 5 star players
5 4 star players
6 3 star players
6 2 star players
2 1 star players
6 unranked players
it also ignores the fact that guys like Mikel Leshoure was a 3 star on rivals
JJ Watt was a 2 star on rivals
ect.
So all this article could possibly prove is that ESPN rankings suck.
Then take this into account. This year 1 5 star players made the All Big Ten team according to ESPN....according to ESPN, how many 5 star players are currently on Big Ten rosters? What percent of 5 star players currently in the Big Ten are on the all big ten team?
This year 5 4 star players made the All Big Ten team according to ESPN....according to ESPN, how many 4 star players are currently on Big Ten rosters? What percent of 4 star players currently in the Big Ten are on the all big ten team?
This year 6 3 star players made the All Big Ten team according to ESPN....according to ESPN, how many 3 star players are currently on Big Ten rosters? What percent of 3 star players currently in the Big Ten are on the all big ten team?
This year 6 2 star players made the All Big Ten team according to ESPN....according to ESPN, how many 2 star players are currently on Big Ten rosters? What percent of 2 star players currently in the Big Ten are on the all big ten team?
This year 6 1 star players made the All Big Ten team according to ESPN....according to ESPN, how many 1 star players are currently on Big Ten rosters? What percent of 1 star players currently in the Big Ten are on the all big ten team?
This year 6 unranked players made the All Big Ten team according to ESPN....according to ESPN, how many unranked players are currently on Big Ten rosters? What percent of unranked players currently in the Big Ten are on the all big ten team?
