re: How meaningful are STARS? Player evaluations

then why are you throwing out random examples of players that bust? You and the OP seem to be holding the rankings to an exact science even if you realize they are not

i'm sorry you got that impression. it's not how i feel or what i believe i've said.

I feel they are guide for fans. I don't believe they are exact science nor are they all that accurate. team rankings are probably a little closer than player rankings. however, they get the team rankings right about 50% of the time.

They miss on a lot of teams. From boise, t.c.u., Arkansas, Okie.S.U., Wisconsin, Oregon, baylor, va tech, nebraska for under evaluating to over ratings u.g.a., florida, texas, f.s.u., miami, n.d., ect.

you look at who become the stars of college football and the top n.f.l. draft picks, these ranking miss badly from a player stand point. (a player ranked at their position to who they become.) example luck, rgIII, t.m., mo claiborn, blackmon. none of those guys were ranked top and most even close to top at their position coming out of high school. They did get it right on richardson.
