One of my favorite memories of doogman is those 3 idiots drooling over that kid for YEARS... He was a finished product at 15 years old.

Since he and his family believe in magical underwear and that a professional scam artist was told by god to start the religion they follow I'd say he has bigger issues.

I'm a firm believer that one of the hardest things to recruit is the player that doesn't have a ton of competition. When you recruit in states like California, Texas, Florida, etc., even the shit teams in the best leagues will have 2-3 D1 players on them. You can get a good idea of whether a player has it or not. The toughest guys to recruit are kids like Heaps and a lot of Bellevue kids because they are so much better than the competition that it's hard to tell what happens to them when they have to step up.
The guys in that situation you are looking for are those that go to national situations and make a leap up tied to their competition and continue to show up and be the alpha males. But if I remember about Heaps, while everybody was still drooling over him because of his stats, etc., he wasn't outperforming a lot of the QBs in the class when they were all there.
And when you look back at the top QBs in the 2009 class - fucking dreckfest: http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/where-are-they-now-2009-elite-11-qbs-including-gardner-bolden-boisture -
You make a good point Tequilla -- Walker Williams is a recent local example that comes to mind where how good a player is/isn't wasn't easy to see because of the league he was in. Allegedly UW passed on him, and granted he would've sucked because of Cozzetto anyway, but it's a coaching skillset that is always a good thing to have and something that I think the current staff is halfways decent at.
