[QUOTE="Techster, post: 377345, member: 360"] Dang...wasn't aware I was supposed to name EVERY QB that came through tech. Thanks for adding more ammo to my point though. Joe Hamilton was actually one of the top athletes in the Southeast when he as being recruited. Much like JeT, or the Michael Barrett QB we're recruiting from South GA, Hamilton was probably what would be considered a 4 star recruit (they didn't give out star rankings back then...it was before the days that rivals/scout/247 took over the recruiting world): [I]Named the South Carolina prep ?Player of the Year? by Jeff Whitaker?s Deep South Football, which gave him a 10.0 rating . . .
