Yeah, unless we play Hargrave, I don't see Auburn's OL going against Clowney anytime soon.
I realize that I am not up on all the recruiting rules and such, but I don't think a kid should be considered a "top recruit" if everyone is well aware that he will be a sign and place. Lots of people may have 'skillz" - but you have to be an athlete AND a student, at least according to the NCAA. Not enough to just be the first. This guy may never see a Div 1 playing field, so why waste the stars on him? He is either motivated enough to get his grades in order or not - and if these kids can't get their grades together in high school, where they are surrounded by family and "friendly" teachers and coaches, then what makes it a given that they will do so in some JuCo?
I would love to see how many sign and place studs actually make it to the Big Dance.
