Yep and all 5 * have talent. That doesn't mean they will all become great players at the next level, just that they have the talent to do so.

I'm not buying as much into these ranking and star systems as everyone else.

The problem is the way you are looking at it. Its not meant to be a guarenteed fact. Its just an evaluation at a certain point in time. As someone else mentioned the difference between a high 4 (like Ried or Montgomery) and a low 5 is insignificant.

I think these rivals and scout class rankings are meaningless 1-10.

Look at the top 10 classes over several years and compare it top 10 rankings 2-3 years later.

some of the most unproductive players in the past 5 years have been 4 and 5 stars.....shepard, loston, davenport, dickson, allen, copeland (DT to FB), and cant forget JJ

And Clayton, Spears, PP7, Doresy, Landry, Bowe and countless other 4-5 stars have been some of the most productive players.

Its not 100%, think that it should be is why you think its meaningless. Its not meaningless, its a guide. nothing more, nothing less.
