Message: [QUOTE="CA Monk, post: 2625626, member: 5268"] Yeah, sometimes recruiting inflation is kind of self-affirming. I mean when was the last time Alabama recruited a 2-star and he remained a 2-star? Even the 'Cuse gets a little bump when we recruit a less heralded player, with the recruiting services rationalizing, "Well if P5 Syracuse went after him he must not be that bad. Let's giv'em a little uptick." I think this rationale is amplified with upper echelon teams. Again, I have no empirical evidence for this kind of recruiting inflation, I just think it goes on. Why Jackson seems to have slipped through the cracks I'll never know. And maybe that's a good thing. I don't want his profile raised any higher. [/QUOTE]
