Many of the 4* and 5* kids are the ones that are athletically gifted enough/developed enough that they stand out amongst the high school talent with more average athletic ability at age 16, 17, 18.
Mizzou's own history is sprinkled with guys who turned out to be very, very good college players once their athletic ability was fully developed (at a later age).
Cody Schrader comes to mind; there are probably at least a dozen others this board could come up with in like 2 minutes.
No matter how many stars a player is, there's no guarantee of collegiate success. (Although the chances become greater!)
