Stuck on Stars Series II, with Allen Trieu from 247

In this episode of Moms in the Huddle, Erika and Jillian sit down with special guest EJ Holland, national recruiting analyst with On3 Sports, to take a closer look at the recruiting star system.

What does it really mean to be labeled a 5-star, 4-star, or 3-star athlete? Who decides those ratings, and how much weight do they actually carry when it comes to recruiting? EJ pulls back the curtain on how the system works, where the hype comes from, and what parents and athletes need to know to keep perspective.

Together, we unpack the myths and realities of the star system, giving moms, dads, and athletes the insider knowledge to navigate recruiting with wisdom. Because at the end of the day—it’s not the stars that define your child’s future, it’s their character and work ethic.
