According to the breakdown by Scout, there have been several seasons since 2002 that there have been 8+ :5star: WRs available to be recruited. Granted, some of those players were junior college players, but, still, there was even a year when there where
12 :5star: WRs were available to be recruited in 2008 so it does happen but it definitely seems to happen to often in the game compared to real life (7 years from 2002 to 2012 where there were 8+ :5star: WRs available and out of those 7 years, 4 of them had 10+ :5star: WRs).
The main problem is the amount of :5star: players that don't fail to live up to their hype. Hopefully that's fixed with this year's changes to recruiting and the dynamic grades.
