I really wish we could retire this nonsense.


Is it true that a 3* can develop into a superstar? Yes, that’s very true.



Is it also true that 4* “hit” at a much higher rate than 3*, and 5* hit at a much higher rate than 4*? Yes, that’s also very true (demonstrably so).


The bottom line is that scouting and development of lower-ranked guys is a huge part of the equation, and always will be - but so is landing highly ranked guys. There’s a reason why no team in the modern recruiting-rankings era has ever won a championship without a roster comprising >50% 4 and 5* guys.
