Question about Stars with regards to rankings.

Should a kid's star level be based in relation to every prospect or should it based on his skill set within his position?
Ex: the #1 FB David Ducre is a 3* on rivals. But should he be a 5*FB?
another example is most #1 kickers will max out at 3*, but they are the absolute best at their position in the country. Shouldn't that mean they are a 5* kicker.
It's just seems like team rankings could be skewed when a team signs the #1 kid at certain postions.
I know stars aren't worth much in the grand scheme of things. I simply want yalls opinions. Please dont flame thinking that I live and die by stars lol.

I'm just going to say its because those positions aren't valued highly. To LSU they are, but most schools not so much. Plus I guess its hard to project those guys on the next level. Kicker spots don't open up much in the pros. Usually it just seems like the sane recycled names.

star ratings are based on NFL draft stock...for instance, a kicker rarely gets drafted no matter how good he is...hence the 3 star ranking. same for fullbacks.
Stars have little to do with how good a player currently is and more to do with how he projects in 4 years in the draft.

Hell no, because a lot of FB recruits are players who played RB in High School and just do not have the high end speed or shiftiness of their RB counterpart. They are often talent-inferior and should not be a 5* alongside the likes of a Leonard Fournette. It is totally misleading.
