Part of this could be that 4-5 star guys get "agents" while in high school, of some sort, who work with them so they understand they need half decent grades (which could be just given) and an SAT score that is 700 or so.  I dunno.

I read that a fair number of HS grads are functionally illiterate, and some of them no doubt are athletes.

4-5 star guys have a different set of admission requirements at places like Michigan and Texas

it's well known and not surprising

Sure, but I still wonder if they can admit functionally illiterate players.  I know it has happened in the past.
