In recruiting, the only sure thing is that there is absolutely no sure thing. High school superstars in many cases turn out to be regular dudes in college. Two- and three-star recruits develop into Heisman winners. The inexact science of it all is what makes this sliver of the sport so appealing to track.
Yet if there’s one exception to this rule, I’ll submit it’s this: The top-rated recruits from the state of Oklahoma most often go on to greatness.
This is not always the case, of course. So my submission of an exception I’ll admit is flawed.
