I think a lot of folks are missing the nuance of the argument which is not that it's pointless to sign 4/5 star kids. If we sign 22 4/5 star kids, I'm thrilled and we can all be excited. It's more that we haven't signed a class with even 10 of those kids and we are unlikely to do so AND that if you sign all those guys but 5 never make it to campus, two get injured, three don't pan out and a couple have grade/discipline issues that changes the class. Or if you have shafer running the show and the s&C isn't great and the system is antiquated or whatnot, you're not going to see that translate onto the field very well.

As far as 3-star/2-star kids, I just don't know how it would be possible for site to truly rank these kids. Coaches have a much better idea of what they want and then they are tasked with molding and developing those kids.

Therefore, IMO, worrying too much about stars is kind of like worrying about what brand is on a product instead of how the product actually performs.
