The thing is nobody evaluated him. He was ranked by the support writer by the team that recruited him early. It was to there adavantage to rate him low and keep the others away. Well as it turned out he was recruited at the end of the year and changed his mind. The rating stayed with him and all others jumped on the band wagon, scout, espn, rivals all had him at a 2 star. He still was not evaluated by anybody. Max Preps had him as the #1 passing rated QB in the nation. finished with 51 TD's overall. The coaches that did their home work got him. The ones that passed based on his rating is missing out. Not sure who started the star rating but I can tell you he was never evaluated by anyone who knows football. More like marketing and writing skills were applied. My son was recruited this year and when he gave a verbal all of the sudden he was ranked with a 2 star evaluation.
