The number of "stars" is important for some reason (that I don't completely understand), but we have had 2 and 3 stars go on to be All-Americans, and also had 5 stars that barely contributed and were eventually pushed out of the starting position by a 3 star.Still four stars according to Rivals. Perhaps I don't understand the Rivals methodology well enough, but that surprises me.
But I'm sure it is important.
