For this information a "diamond in the rough" is a player that has two or less P5 offers according to Rivals. The stars/rankings are irrelevant. For example, Ashely Lowery was a four star that had one P5 offer(UK) and would have been considered a diamond in the rough.

Just wanted to compile some actual numbers for you to decide if the diamond in the rough argument is a valid one. If I made any mistakes just let me know and I will correct the list.
