Track Record of Virginia HS's 4 & 5 Stars

One of the "great debates" I've seen on TKP is the question of how much value 4 & 5 stars bring to the table. I've decided to compile a list of every 4 & 5 from the Commonwealth since 2002 (according to Rivals) to shed a little light on the subject. For obvious reasons, I didn't include players that were prepping at Fork Union or Hargrave.
