Stars going in or coming out?

"He is a 3-star player." Well, fine. That is what he is ranked going into his college career. Will he still be a 3-star coming out of his college career? Some head coaches are excellent basketball teachers, or at least they assemble a staff of excellent basketball teachers. Some coaches hold their players accountable, both on and off the court. Some make the sum of the parts to be greater than the whole. Obviously, that is not true of all programs. Maybe they need to add a column headed "Star Progression." The number of stars (or perhaps we should say the value of the stars) is going to increase when you play for a coach like Tony Bennett or Chris Beard.
