Now that’s silly.
I assure you Dabo, Saban, Meyer, Muschamp, Smart and any other reputable recruiter/coach is more focused more on what they see on tape and on the field from a recruit than how many stars Rivals or ESPN gives someone. To focus so much on a star rating system, one would wonder how coaches/recruiters ever did their jobs before such a “rating system” existed. Players have been recruited, performed successfully on the field, and have been drafted into the NFL LONG before someone came up with a “star rating” system. I’d be willing to bet the aforementioned coaches and recruiters would be more willing to trust their eyes before they’d trust someone from Rivals or ESPN and their “stars.” Take away these star rating systems and I’d still be confident the good coaches/recruiters are still going to be able to recruit the best talent.
Like I said, “stars” are fuel/fodder for NSD TV coverage and fan-based team/college websites/radio programs to talk about.
Of course coaches are going to trust their evaluatoins over a recurting ranking. But more often than not what the coaches see is close to what the ranking services see when it comes to the top players in each years class.
I will post these again.

I hope Sakkerliner keeps on recruiting those 2 & 3 star kids, winning 10 in a row or more will be awesome. Star ratings sure did matter back in November, 49 points worth IIRC. Saying star ratings don’t matter means you don’t have much in the way of elite talent. It’s a lot easier to develop elite talent than it is to develop mediocre talent. Combine elite level talent with solid coaching and a proven system and you win, a lot.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.
