Do prospects get caught up in their own "star" ratings?

I have always wondered if football/basketball high school prospects get caught up in how many "stars" recruiting sites give them. Do you think some of them look how many they are given online and say, "hey I'm 4/5 *'s, I need to be getting offers from ____ kind of schools/I should only be committing to to those kind of schools. I know recruiting as a whole is a huge part of it, but I do sometimes wonder if a prospect is given a high (4/5 stars) rating, does it influences him to committing to top tier schools instead of giving the not so top tier schools a chance by listening to what they have to offer and say. Just something that has always ran through my head being a recruiting junkie...
