Title: BR: A Look Back on Tide Standouts in Their High School Days Post by: pmull on April 07, 2011, 03:39:57 PM The NFL draft is sometimes called the biggest crapshoot in the world, but it doesn't have anything on college recruiting out of high school.

Other times they whiff, such as ranking current floundering Texas quarterback Garret Gilbert at the top of his class as a 5-star, or Mark Ingram as the No. 17 back in the nation.
