You'll never see a 4 or 5-star kicker, for example. Even a 4-star fullback is virtually unheard of. Longsnappers and special teams players (except for kickers) don't even have their own rated categories (do they?) It’s true, that “stars” are biased for/against positions.

I do know AJ Hawk and Santonio Holmes were 3-stars way back when. Robo was a 2-star back in the day, according to Scout (I think Rivals put him as a 3-star). Nick Mangold was a 1-star according to Scout, because I guess they had no idea who he was. And regarding Jermil Martin, no projected fullback will ever be so highly rated ever again. Aram Olson, who really was fullback par excellence when he was recruited, was a 3-star. I think Laurinaitis and Jenkins were 3-stars. I do know AJ Hawk and Santonio Holmes were 3-stars way back when.

Only one 2-Starr in the bunch** (Jermil Martin, Glenville according to Scout.com) It may not be THE #1 class in the nation, but it is a #1 class for fit to OSU's needs. They got what they wanted, +/- a quarterback. Big round of applause for the coaching staff on their recruting success AND efficiency! No compromise here! Great talent! Great kids! Anyone think they overlooked a needed position? ** laurinaitis and jenkins were both 2-star recruits. Great deals if you know what to look for, and apparently they know what to look for.
