2017 Recruiting Welcome to the boards, Central Coast. I agree with you in a sense. Projecting long term, from high school to the NFL, the star system doesn't hold a lot of weight. From high school to college, however, I think there is some validity there.
I mean, for instance, Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, ect. are all made up of almost exclusively of 4 and 5 star athletes. Davis gets mostly 2 star and unranked athletes and a couple of 3 stars thrown in. We've never gotten anywhere close to a 4 star athlete.
