Rivals and ESPN started publishing star ratings between 2000
and 2003.. some Recruiting services might have had Star ratings. But in 1998 when Vick signed, the de facto standard in Virginia was Doug Doughty’s Too 25 recruiting ranking in the Roanoke Times.
1998 proved to be a very good class for the Hokies, signing six of the top 11 players in the state. Vick was the #3 player and we can assume in today’s star rankings, he would have been a 4-star recruit

I’d guess it was the 2008 class with 8 4-star recruits
