Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 309717, member: 837"] I won't try to speak for Phat here, but I think his point was simply that recruiting services mean absolutely nothing whatsoever to begin with. They mean even less once kids are on campus. This isn't baseball where a bonus baby is going to get extra rope b/c of the cash laid out to sign him. It's not even basketball where starting assignments and minutes are sometimes doled out based on egos to make sure the team is getting as much as it can out of each player. The number of stars a guy got is forgotten by coaches second the players get to campus (obviously not by fans). Macky may have gotten an extra look and a quicker scholly offer b/c of his name (I'm not sure, just conjecture), but I'm fairly certain he's not going to fend off challenges by more talented, equally dedicated players on the basis of said name.
