[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 211696, member: 2175"] Every time I think of Godhigh and Laskey it reminds me that the star system has faultlines everywhere, and that coaches who can find those faultlines and stand up to popular opinion, much of it sad to say coming from message boards, can pluck out some of those unheralded 2-star recruits and grow them to 4 or 5-star players before they leave campus, while many of the 4s and 5s out of HS spend their eligibility on special teams and practice teams. I remember a book about Sandy Koufax, who became arguably one of the great pitchers ever, but who rode the bench his first few years despite an occasional gem when he was allowed to pitch. The former Dodgers' GM at the time said of the manager, Walter Alston, "Walter did not have much scout in him." Some of those GT coaches have a lot of scout in them for sure. [/QUOTE]
