A chinteresting tidbit on this kid. I was parusing the TBS lists today and noticed that Jaramillo has fallen all the way to around 60 in the scout OT rankings. I believe that at one point he was just outside the top 100 players overall and considered one of the top o linemen in the west.

As a guy that has worked Under Armor, Nike, Army AA, and countless other combine/skill things recruiting rankings are fucking retarded.
Here is how recruiting works: If you are at a winning program you are automatically rated higher than those that aren't. If you are in a good high school program then you are already a slave to the weight room, film room, off-season workouts, community service, study hall, etc. The odds of you telling a coach to fuck off or stealing a laptop are lower. Remember, college coaches already work a 14 hour day regardless, they don't want to deal with a shit head unless he can directly win them games.
If you aren't being heavily recruited as a junior you are fucked. Marcus Mariota is a perfect example of this. He didn't start for St Louis high until he was a senior. Go back and watch his game film and tell me he wasn't a super hero then, he was. Slingblade got lucky, not Herbert into his lap lucky, but lucky. Mariota is a 3-star and a zillion guys working at Enterprise Rent-a-Car right now are rated higher.
The star rating system is based off of a ton of bias and laziness. All of the recruiting "experts" have zero football or even sports backgrounds. They were guys that saw the potential of teen boy stalking. If USC and Texas offer a kid then he gets a 3-star minimum rating that usually turns into something higher before signing day. The same programs always have a shit ton of talent. You rate their classes high and when they win it verifies you know what you were talking about. When they lose it's the coaches fault. When a team no one cares about wins with recruits no one bothered to really recruit then it's a Cinderella story, you know until five guys off of their team go on and start in the NFL. There is no real coverage of Mid-Major recruiting because it would require actual work and skill, neither of those are coming from recruiting experts.
The next is family income. Rex Grossman was from Illinois. His dad wanted him to go to Florida. Rex's dad would fly Rex down for every camp, every Spring, every everything. Rex Grossman lived around Florida football from the time he was a Sophomore in HS. Remember those three brother from Sand Diego with the zillionaire parents? One went to Stanford, one to Michigan, and I believe one to Nebraska. Not one of them could play a lick of football. Daddy had a production team, A FUCKING PRODUCTION TEAM building their highlight tapes, they went to every combine and camp ever, they even paid people to call coaches daily on their behalf. Ghetto kids don't get this kind of look.
The last are special teams. There are no kicking coaches. Chris Sailor holds a camp on the west coast and there is another big one on the east coast. Go look it up. However you perform in those camps are who gets scholarships and there is no other metric measured in special teams recruiting which is why a guy like Maldonado who killed Chip Kelly's college legacy finished #1 at Sailor's camp but didn't have the leg for a 35 yard field goal got a scholarship and Aiden Schneider, who is now the best kicker in Oregon history is a walk on.
If you have a good coaching staff following recruiting is pointless. They will get their guys and develop them. If you care about recruiting your coach is brand new or you have a mediocre to awful coach.
