You just called 90% of the coaching staffs morons then..
if coaching staffs didn't buy into kids with high star rankings, they'd never stock their cupboard with talent
look at the teams at the top of the star game, and look at how they've performed over the past 5 years

Coaches recruit, they don't keep hitting F5 on Rivals or Scout to see who the next big recruit is.
To paraphrase one of the greatest GMs of all time:
"What in the hell is Rivals.com, anyway? I mean, here's a site who criticizes everybody, whoever they sign. In my knowledge of the Recruiting Analysts, they have never even put on jockstraps, they have never been players, they've never been coaches, they've never been scouts, they've never been administrators, and all of a sudden, they're experts. Recruiting sites have no more credentials to do what they are doing doing than my neighbor, and my neighbor's a postman and he doesn't even have season tickets to College ball."

Coaching staffs do the majority of their talent evaluation during a player's junior year in HS. That's before they get any kind of star ranking on Rivals or Scout or ESPN or wherever. So no, coaching staffs do not buy in to the star system. I have only ever heard of one staff doing that and it was Larry Coker when he was at Miami.
