Of the 32 players selected Thursday night:
• Six were consensus five-star prospects out of high school.
• Fourteen were consensus four-star prospects out of high school.
• Eleven were consensus three-star prospects out of high school.
"In a given year, there are about 35 five-star prospects and another 300 or so four-star prospects. That means the bulk of the nearly 3,000 signees each year are three-star prospects or lower.
...roughly 10 percent of those who sign annually are four- or five-star prospects — but they made up 66 percent of the first-round selections Thursday night (that figure roughly is the same every year).
They used 247's consensus stars as the basis for their comparison.
