re: How meaningful are STARS? Player evaluations

they are ranked in a star system based on athletic ability, size, and potential at the next level. Statistically, the best teams have had the best recruiting classes so it gives a decent representation of the talent coming in. They can't predict who will succeed in college because they don't know what drives an 18 year old to push themselves. Thats why you see some 5 star talents flop and 2/3 stars blossom.

1. there IS a correlation between success on the field and higher stars ratings.
2. not all 5 stars pan out. 20% make it in the NFL. That's WAY higher than 4 star and orders of magnitude higher than 3 and 2 star.
3. a few two star linemen and a very very few two star skill position players make it to the NFL.
The correlation to the NBA is that Dennis Rodman, who grew a foot taller after he turned 16, was not rated out of high school but he later turned into an NBA rebounding machine.
