It's a combination of all factors. The ratings are generally pretty reliable. The player's frame is another important factor. Missouri has built a great DL by taking athletes and maxing out their frames. They aren't always long-armed guys, but they usually have explosive athleticism. Finally, the offer sheet is much like a scout's grade prior to the draft. Obviously great players fall through the cracks, but it doesn't happen very often.
How often is not very often? Britt, Copeland, Bonner, White, and Sam had very few offers and were two star (or less) players. LDW had no/few other offers when he committed to MU (also as a ** player, IIRC, and was bumped to ***) They do, however, represent around 27% of Mizzou's starters (not counting specialists). Perhaps they aren't "great", but they are starters on a 9-1 Mizzou team that is one the best in a while.
