You guys would be a lot happier if you did not look at star ratings at all. The worst thing you can when evaluating players is take someone else's word.
The second worst thing you can do is scout off a highlight reel.
The third worst thing is look at old hs tape. The kids change too quickly. After that comes a small sample size of viewings.
Basically, we can get excited about a kid but we can't devote the resources to fully understand even one school's class. You either trust the coaches eval skills or you do not.
