So out of the thousands of recruits you make a conclusion based on two kids....wow...Also not true based on your 24/7 site.

I mean when you have low three stars and high 2 stars there's really no way of knowing who will be better. It seems over the last 3 years at App our lowest rated recruits have been the best early contributors.

I think the best indicator (in the high 2 to mid 3 range) isn't to look at the star but to look at the offer list. For instance your "3-star" QB commit is only showing an offer from Valdosta State other than GS...

Prime example is Tim Frizell in the 2016 class. We "took" him from UTC on signing day and he was the only true freshman to see the field on defense for the Apps playing in all 12 games.

Well there is little to real difference in a high two and low three...there a huge difference in a borderline four star and any two. Most two stars are not sniffing P5 offers while high three make up the majority of P5 rosters. Same for any tweener grade really. A high four is not much different than a low five etc..glad to see some know that not all stars grades mean every kid is ranked the same though....most people miss the numerical grade as if it is meaningless.

Individual examples are just that you have literally thousands of recruits to base what happens with most recruits overtime and most of the time the grades are solid and accurate. This is why I said you have to look broader at national rankings to see if there is real separation like AL vs Vanderbilt and not just conference ones and per recruit avg of your entire roster rather than one class or one recruit.
