Medical flameouts should just be discarded. It is irrelevant data for the point you are making. That said, as long as it's relatively consistent, it shouldn't drastically impact grade. I saw you mentioned you might not do this many more years. Another reason you might add to that is you are about to enter COVID recruiting years which I will assume will be a mess. As for your results, I agree and disagree. I think too rated VA talent has been ridiculous lately. But...I don't think targeting 3 star talent only is a good approach either. For one, it is hypocritical to lump those players into a "better" group when they are grouped that way by the same ratings you claim to be BS. But perhaps more importantly, success as contributors is only one way of looking at it. There also has to be a value on dynamics, game breaking potential in other words. A 3 star roster can be a very tough out, but championship rosters have dynamic players that rise up when games get tight. There will be more of those dynamic players in the 4 and 5 star ranks because they are largely ranked that way by define able measurables (the ones the flame out might not have the marbles or other essential traits). So, as long as we all agree attrition will occur at wild rates, the actual most successful way to build a roster is to fill it with potentially dynamic players, let the wash outs go and continue to load up on numbers. There will always be those 3 star guys in classes as well.
