Recruiting- Do stars matter?

     Now a days everyone is obsessed with stars. If he is a 2 star, he has no chance. Yes, I will agree that if you had a team of all 5stars you will be good, but coaching still matters. Here are some examples.  
     I did some research and this is what i found(these stars are per scout.com)
  • In the last 4 years Virginia Tech has had 16 4 and 5 star recruits, Boise State has had 3, Boise beat Virginia Tech in 2010
  • In the last 4 years Wisconsin has had 22 4 and 5 star recruits, TCU has had 3, TCU beat Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl
  • In the last 4 years Ole Miss has had 22 4 and 5 star recruits, Jacksonville State, well, who knows.
  • Now this is the really shocking one, In the last 4 years Texas has had 64 4 and 5 star recruits, Iowa State has had ONE. Iowa State beat Texas in 2010.
Mississippi State has had 19 4 and 5 star recruits in the last 4 years.
  • 3 are redshirts and have never stepped on the field( Matthew Wells, Damien Robinson, and Kaleb Eulls)
  • 1 was kicked off(Josh Riddell)
  • 1 never qualified(Jazzmen Guy)
  • That leaves 15 in the last 4 years, 10 of which will be on the 2011 roster.
Florida has had 64 4 and 5 stars in the last 4 years. Mississippi state beat Florida AT Florida in 2010.

You be the judge, do stars matter?
