College football fans across the country have become obsessed with the recruiting industry. With the recent good news in recruiting for South Carolina football (5-star Dylan Stewart’s commitment, specifically), the recruiting rankings are a top point of conversation in Gamecock Nation.
This is for good reason as every College Football Playoff National Champion has had a 50% or better “blue chip ratio.” This means that every national champion since the 2014 season has had a roster made up of at least 50% 4-star and 5-star high school prospects.
