In the signing day video, our own EA Hoffses gives a thorough explanation of all the work that is done (e.g., Rivals regional camps, video, level of competition, live game evaluation, etc.) to determine a players' star ranking. Meter then says, "Matt Ryan was a 2-star; Luke Kuechley was a 2-star, these guys are are All-Pros now; Mark Herzlich, a 2-star. What went askew?"
This is how the idiocy debunking star ratings gets started. Let's look at the facts:
Matt Ryan was a 3-star and the #25 pro-style QB nationally; P5 offers - GTech, Iowa, Purdue
Luke Kuechley was a 3-star and the #44 LB nationally; P5 offers - Cincy, Duke, Illinois, Michigan State, Stanford, UVA
Mark Herzlich was a 3-star and the #25 LB nationally; P5 offers - Duke, Louisville, UVA, North Carolina, Vandy
I know there are some under-the-radar kids who end up doing well. These three, however, were highly known, highly recruited, and highly ranked. Clownshoes Meter. Pure clownshoes.
