    Feel your pain about losing McNight but it could have been worse, in that he coudl have pulled that cheap stunt Little did to ND. When you give your word, that should mean something. Oh well, karma is a bitch and he just ruined his pro prospects. UNC will take years to rebuild, and by then, it will be too late for Little.

    It's just like NFL contracts -- they're not worth the paper they're written on -- from EITHER side. None of this is news.

    Maybe ask your old QB Coach Vaas how much HE respects the commitments to other schools...I'm sure you've seen the Washington Post article about that, huh?

    This stuff happens every year and I'm astonished that people keep being surprised by it. Recruits commit but sign with someone else. Unexpected commitments come in. Big fish get away. Future stars get signed under the radar.

    All-in-all LSU has gotten exactly what it wanted for 7 or 8 years now. Consistency pays off.

    ....Five star recruits occasionally amount to nothing....any other additions?

    That's true. JR and LL were both rated 4 star prospects by rivals. Look at them now, one is going as the fist overall pick, and the other in between 8th-10th overall.

    Really want to realize the ranking system is very flawed.

    I believe Josh Reed was a 2 star RB. Man holds countless records...

    As a wide receiver. Clearly he was being played out of position in hgh school.
