2007 Rivals Top 100 - A look back...

Neat read... WaPo: National Signing Day: After recruits choose their schools, anything can happen

>>Of the top 100 in 2007, 39 were eventually drafted into the NFL. Twenty are still in the league. Seven made the Pro Bowl. Four are dead.

Twenty-six transferred to other schools. And at least one-third obtained degrees from the school they committed to on signing day 10 years ago.<<

A number of stories on concussions and cte, in such a young group. No longer a surprise to me.

I believe Chaz Powell committed to us and then flipped to Penn State.

Amazing stories ...

And all the proof you need if you HANG onto the Recruiting ratings equaling success in either college or Pro. Life stories range from all kind of futures to the tragic. Thanks for the work to whomever decided to pursue this.

I think you could also make the same claim on the "offer list" method as well since I'm pretty sure none in the top 100 were only FCS or low level BCS offers only.

First ...
OFFERS list is highly suspicious. Kids lie. Coaches lie. And the Rating Services that report things do not really have any substance to go by. There are probably a bunch of kids in the top 100 that got one offer ... and said, I am done. I want to go to XYZ.

Second ...
In Football ... or even the Real Estate Broker/Developer spot that popped often in that top 100 ... the capacity to rise may not be on film or in measurables. Has everything to do with persistence and luck. Or daddy giving you some Do-re-mi.
