@PurpleTitan But many of these “high school level” stars are doing better NOW than most ADULTS do in their lives.
I could counter with a tennis analogy. Has any 3/4 star recruit from the United States ever been successful in the pros? The answer is no: only blue chip recruits (higher than 5 stars) have. I would choose 10 blue chips over 500 3/4 star recruits any day.
