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

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?

That's a fair point. I guess I find it hard to believe that a kid or his coach would claim an offer from a school that isn't even showing interest.
I completely agree that some (maybe a lot) claim offers from a school that is just showing interest but hasn't offered anything. I just don't think a kid would say that he has offers from half the SEC if he's not at least being courted in some fashion by the coaches at those schools. Which is why I think the offer list is really just an "interest list" at this point.
I could just be being naive and all these kids could be making up whatever they want and the recruiting sites just publish it without fact checking anything. Idk that's just how I look at the offer lists.
