I have to agree wholeheartedly.  These 3-4 and 5 star recruits look like 
mere mortals to those 2-3 star kids that played with heart and guts.  I 
would take "heart" in a college football player with marginal talents and 
the desire to be an overacheiver.  I think that Zach Tailor was much better 
above the shoulders than Keller will ever be.  Sam may have that 6 ft 4 inch 
height, but is very predictable.
