re: what's more reliable: stars or "offer lists"

I've read most of the comments and the general consensus is that most don't find the offer lists credible. And while you may be correct that some of these kids don't have "commitable" offers from all the schools they claim, you are really not reading through the lines.
Having a commitable offer at this point is irrelevant. All the offer list shows you is the caliber of schools that are interested in the recruit.
Whether they have a true offer or not, 3star recruit X has interest from LSU, Florida, Georgia, Ohio State, and Michigan. While 3star Y had interest from Mississippi State, Tulane, Tulsa, and Texas southern.
From that list, you can see that player X is held in higher regard by the big programs than player Y.
The actual offer means very little this early in the process. The "offer list" just gives insight into what kind of schools are showing interest.

The op's main point is accurate but the other posters point about both the stars and offer lists are both just tools in the process is the most accurate answer to all of it.

Not trying to put too fine a point on this, but the schools may not have an interest at all in the athlete and still show up on an offer list.
Lots of posters here who have been around locker rooms know that 1) kids and coaches sometimes exaggerate and 2) graduate assistants, longtime college supporters and others sometimes make comments that are interpreted in a flattering way.
That's why it is important to ask, how are the offer lists compiled and are they verified with the colleges?
