The starting center for Denver in the upcoming Super Bowl, regarded by many to be Denver's best O-lineman this year (with Clady out), played 8-man football in high school and was a walk-on in college. Clady, who's a 4-time Pro Bowler, was a 2-star recruit.

The most amusing part of recruiting to me is that a recruit's rating will often change based solely on who's offered.

Of course.

For that reason, it SHOULD change. I'm assuming that the coaches have done their due diligence, and the more highly-rated schools offering, the better chance that the player is a great one. It makes good sense.

If they're recruited by USC, OSU, FL St, LSU, MI, FL, Auburn, Alabama, then you can bet he's going to have a higher rating.

WHO ELSE watches and judges films and decides?

Scout and Rivals issue the star ratings. There are lots of people paid to do just that.

Missouri just flipped a BSU commit. Kid went from 4 stars to 3 on Rivals. Silly.

Even Alabama can't recruit a QB. :D

Yeah, Game Day is good entertainment, but primarily because Corso keeps them from taking themselves too seriously.

Speaking of linemen, I remember watching the BSU v UGA game when UGA had what was supposedly the biggest O-line ever in the SEC -- presumably 4 and 5 star recruits -- and they couldn't keep BSU's mostly 2-star D-line out of the backfield. All of that D-line went on to the NFL.

There were at least 10 SEC teams that wished they had Coker this year.
