Doesn't directly relate to SDSU nor the MW, given how few 4 & 5-star recruits sign within this conference, but interesting to see the correlation between stars/recruiting and being an elite team nonetheless. This is from a Auburn blogger, hence the SEC slant...
By comparison, I believe the best MW team was around 8% 4/5-star talent, and overall the MW is closer to 2%, assuming they all qualify.
---------------------
The following is a breakdown of the four-star and five-stars in the signing classes by league from 2002-2005.
Southeastern Conference: 23.6 percent
Big 12: 18.5 percent
Pac-10: 17.4 percent
ACC: 13.7 percent
Big Ten: 13.0 percent
The following are the numbers from 2012-15:
Percentage of 4-star and 5-star recruits signed by conference from 2012-2015:
Southeastern Conference: 34.7 percent
Pac-12: 17.0 percent
Big Ten: 16.3 percent
ACC: 13.1 percent
Big 12: 11.4 percent
These are the top five SEC teams in percentage of 4-star and 5-star recruits (2002-2005):
Florida ................. 54.9 percent
Tennessee ............ 51.5 percent
LSU ..................... 47.9 percent
Georgia ............... 38.5 percent
Auburn ................ 25.7 percent
Here are those numbers from 2012-15:
Alabama .............. 75.0 percent
LSU ..................... 61.5 percent
Auburn ................ 54.8 percent
Texas A&M ........ 53.6 percent
Georgia ............... 49.5 percent
Player development is essential in the long run, but talent remains the lifeblood of college football. Alabama, Oregon, Florida State, Ohio State and Clemson are the top five teams from Power-5 conferences with the highest winning percentage from 2011-2014. Their combined percentage of 4-star and 5-star recruits from 2009-2012 was 51.5 percent.

it would be interesting to know if there are just more guys getting the 4* or 5* label. the numbers indicate that it could likely the case.

As noted even in the P5 conferences there is a difference between those in the upper part of a conference and those near the lower end . The upper get most of the 5 star/ 4 star and even some 3 . While the lower end get mostly 3 . some 4 not many 5 and then some 2 . MW teams may get a few 4 star at best , battle for mostly 3 and 2 star . This year BSU will have a 4 star QB , Aztecs a WR and LB . Believe San Jose , Wyoming have at leastone 4 star recruits , not sure about others

These publications are pretty good at identifying the top players in the form of four and five stars. However, not nearly as good as separating three star from two star players.

gotcha. so it's basically a bell curve. follow me through with this... if every single recruit in the country is off the charts good, 5* quality (i know this isn't a realistic scenario), then the best of those kids are 5*, the worst are 1*? And those same kids, that were ranked 1* if they happened to be in a different recruiting class could have been 5*? |

I don't remember the source/s but it has been said that a lot of the players rated as 2s or no stars at all are ones that don't receive near the attention as higher better known recruits because these evalautors simply don't have the time to spend on the lesser knowns. That would explain in part for some of the abnormalities apparent in this process. It may also be part of the reason for a school like Boise that is more competitive against P5 schools. Of course it takes good coaching, and sometimes systems to bring out the best regardless of ratings.
