Very few 5 stars don’t pan out due to talent or ability, very few. They don’t pan out because of drugs, arrests, attitude, etc. Even many of the 5 stars that drop out of the big schools eventually get drafted.
To be honest, if there was a way to measure their character and work ethic you could add a 6th star. But you can’t and that’s why you have 25 kids per class and only 85 scholarships. 30% or so of recruits no matter their rankings just wash out.

I think it's need-based for the most part. You get three 5-star kids at the same position and 2 of them transfer after a year then you're back to one so what's the point. Just to get "ranked" higher in recruiting? So much of recruiting now is roster management and player development. Anticipating guys leaving, mining the transfer portals, juco circuit, red- shirting, grey-shirting, blue-shirting, etc. It is really an area that needs a staff of its own.

Pretty depressing thinking of the three main 5 stars that never panned out for Auburn.
Byron Cowart
Roc Thomas
Trovon Reed
One could also argue Michael Dyer, but he helped win a championship. So he probably deserves to be off the list.
