I agree that star rankings mean nothing with terrible coaching, but I think every national champion since the recruiting services started ranking players has had an average recruiting class in the Top 15, including this year's Clemson team.
I agree that its best to not dwell to much on the ranking of any one player, but as a group of players, the ranking of the class is somewhat telling (indicates if a school has the minimum talent level needed to win a NC if the right coaching is in place).
