So sad its devastating, your not alone Hokie Brother be strong!
You can pull the stats anyway you want, there's good arguments on both sides.
I think the premise can only be but so stable, you're trying to anticipate the production of a 17-18 year old kid. Stars are endorsements from people who have a greater perspective of current talent by having a vantage to compare them to. I think a coaches assessment is just as valid.
But it really comes down to how we look at it. Nobody says hey look at how well this group of all 5 stars faired in 3 years against this group of 3, nobody looks at it like that. They just look at one kid on one team so the trends and probabilities no longer hold up. All in all having multiple classes with pools of 4 and 5 stars who the coaches like is never a bad thing.
Not a competition I am ready for

Lucky. My son passed out on his bedroom floor after an hour-long tantrum.

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: Virginia Tech Hokies (12-10, 4-5) at Syracuse Orangemen (15-8, 5-5) 8 PM ACC Network I agree. Especially in the first half, we were so patient, working the ball inside out, getting good looks. I think Buzz had them prepared for the game. It's just when momentum starts getting away from us, we struggle to get it back.
And even that isn't necessarily true. They started making buckets in the second half and we were able to get stops and go on runs of our own. Hell, there were times they would go 4:00 without a field goal (although they racked up points from the foul line).
Someone smarter than me is going to have to diagnose the "problem" this team has. It may just be "too many stupid mistakes" and "ya gotta make all your layups".
Anyway, go hokies. We'll remember this feeling when we're winning ACC championships in a few years. I'm gonna go watch some HGTV.

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: Virginia Tech Hokies (12-10, 4-5) at Syracuse Orangemen (15-8, 5-5) 8 PM ACC Network No one knows what a foul is. It's just like football: Too many run plays, gotta throw in some passes. Refs try to balance it but it often time results in the team that's playing better, especially in a road situation, getting screwed over.

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: Virginia Tech Hokies (12-10, 4-5) at Syracuse Orangemen (15-8, 5-5) 8 PM ACC Network So I'm at Buffalo Wild Wings, watching us milk this game away and the damn game blacks out with 1 minute left. So I finally get it on my phone just in time to see the game tying three. This one hurts about as bad as a football loss. Fuck.
Obviously there's no hard rule on any of this...

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: Virginia Tech Hokies (12-10, 4-5) at Syracuse Orangemen (15-8, 5-5) 8 PM ACC Network Yes he took contested layup. However if he was a Duke, Carolina, or 'Cuse 5 star guard he would be standing on the foul line after both of those.
Yeah but with a resume that includes guys like Logan Thomas, Duane Brown, and Chris Drager, you can't go wrong

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: Virginia Tech Hokies (12-10, 4-5) at Syracuse Orangemen (15-8, 5-5) 8 PM ACC Network There is a myriad of ways we could have won this game. Make a layup. Pull the ball out on a fastbreak with 1:00 left instead of missing a layup. Make a free throw. It's extraordinarily frustrating to lose a game like that. We absolutely just fell apart mentally. Young team or not, that is not acceptable this late into the season.
4-5* guys are what you want, but sometimes those guys just dont translate well at the next level. The same reason some CFB studs dont translate well in the NFL and flame out. Some of its coaching, some of it is on the kid and him growing and maturing as a player. Id much rather have a class with 10 5* players than 10 3* players, but until they step on the field, theres no sure fire way of knowing.
