Interesting article. Many of the first rounders were on the radar, some weren't.
I don't believe or place much stock in the recruiting gurus actually scouting and grading talent. That may have taken on a bigger role with the big national camps, but it is still secondary.
The real basis for recruiting rankings is the attention kids are getting from Saban, Meyer, Stoops, etc. Coaches know 1000 times more than journalists. And great coaches develop the talent they recruit.
