Or here's a thought [gasp!!!]:  maybe don't formulate your entire opinion based upon one thing, to the exclusionary expense of all other data points.

If you're Ohio State or Alabama, and you are recruiting the highest rated players -- then looking at stars alone might be fine for comparing gradations of excellence.

But these recruiting services are imprecise, they don't do a thorough job analyzing the thousands of players out there beyond a small core group, and some of the evaluators [clowns like Dohn] don't even bother to conceal their bias, and inflate [or decrease] both stars / ratings to artificially manipulate things in favor of the team they prefer.

Stars, ratings, and offer lists are ALL important data elements to look at -- especially for a team in our station of CFB.  But taken alone, none are the end all be all in and of themselves.  And there are additional factors outside of those three things that also provide insight / context, too.

The above not directed at you, cityofcuse -- just piggybacking off of your post.
