"I tell people to not take the rankings, or recruiting in general, so seriously. It’s a guide and it gives you a picture of what things look like and it gives you a glimpse at what kind of athlete a guy may be. But a recruiting analyst is never going to have as much information on kids as coaches, so what you have to do when it comes to recruiting classes is trust the scouting ability of your coaches and wait to see if they prove worthy of that trust. You’ll see that eventually on the field." I think that a whoooooole lot of people around here would do well to take this to heart.

Interesting that Webb mentioned Kelly Barka as a guy he thought was a sure thing. I remember hearing stories about Barka's game breaking abilities - guess he lit it up in practice (but may have after practice as well). I always feel bad for the guys who had talent and didn't make the most of it no matter the circumstance.
