Actually he was a no-star rating best as i can tell, no one bothered rating him.
Which is the case with a lot of players, all things FBCB doesn´t mirror. Like HR said, you have to simplify here and look at the results, not the perception.

In an ideal world we´d have a rating for "recruiting knowledge" for each area for the head coach and assistants that determines how likely it is to a) identify, b) scout and c) convince a recruit to come.
The reason why certain colleges recruit internationals successfully is because they have connections to the countries via assistant coaches f.e. (one of saint mary´s assistant played there for 7 years, one of Gonzaga´s assistants has played in germany and has contacts there)

And with the rule changes kicking into gear now regarding eligibility the number of really good european players going to college will only increase ( Luke Winn at the NCAA Tourney – SI.com » Posts New Rule Could Clear Way for Kanter « )
(Australia doesn´t have that issue with their sports institute)

from the current hoop summit world team 5 guys will go to college next year.

In any case, if it´s going to be optional everybody can have it their way anyhow
