And I'm not going through the entire list but Brendan Marion at Tulsa is an academic vagabond. All that article means is that with 1,000-2,000 2 stars some of those kids will make the big time. The odds are against them. The fact that this guy is suggesting that these 2 stars are anything close to the best players in America makes this guy an idiot. Since they are not anything close to the best players in America the basic theseis of his argument is fatally flawed ie. that star rankings don't matter.
I beg to differ on the best player in america. At least one of them is at his respective position. Jonathan Luigs, the center at Arkansas, won the Remington trophy this year along with many other accolades. He was severely underrated coming out of high school. I played with him my junior year, when I lived in little rock. He absolutely schooled now starting LSU lineman Brett Helms when we played Stuttgart, yet his Arkansas offer didn't come until after we won the semifinal round of the state playoffs. An assistant coach on the Houston Nutt staff told our head coach, Kevin Kelly, that they weren't sure how hard Luigs would work since he was coming from a private school. Talk about some rednecks with a rediculous anti-private school bias.
