Far from it, look at kids and where they camped. Some coaches will go to a game, also look at the other schools that offer. Most offers from LSU comes after a visit/camp. Oh, Grimes did offer Brown once he got the job, that was his first offer as a LSU coach. Many coaches want to see first hand, can they add weight, do they have a frame to add, are they coach-able, etc. You hear all the time, a kid shows up at LSU and gets an offer. A few high school coaches will call LSU an tell them about a kid, a good HS coach knows. They don't want to cry wolf.
I know stars really don't mean a whole hell of a lot, but help me understand why all these top offensive line prospects are mostly all 3 star recruits?
New York Giants Ian McCue NFC East - 247Sports Odell Beckham Jr: The NFL's Most Dangerous Receiver? (Photo: Brad Penner, USA TODAY Sports) Almost every week Odell Beckham Jr. becomes the first NFL rookie to do something. Here are a few firsts he achieved in Sunday's 24-13 win over Washington, as provided by NFL.com's Gil Brandt: —He is the first rookie to finish a game with at least 12 catches, 140 receiving yards and three TDs. —Beckham has racked up 61 receptions over his last seven games, most every for an NFL newbie, and his 866 receiving yards over that stretch are second-most for a rookie in league history. —Last week, he was the first rookie to make it six consecutive games with at least 90 yards. Now he's at seven straight, with two games left. ESPN has perhaps the most telling statistic: he leads the entire NFL — not just rookies — in catches and receiving yards since Nov. 1. That's a stretch of seven games, starting with an ugly Monday night loss to the Colts when Beckham's profile really started to climb. It's also no coincidence that the first-round pick's numbers have taken off since No. 1 wide receiver Victor Cruz blew out his knee in an Oct. 12 loss to the Eagles. Despite missing the first four games of the season with a hamstring injury, a full quarter of the season, he leads all rookies in receiving yards (972), is tied for the top spot in receptions with former LSU teammate Jarvis Landry (71) and trails only the Buccaneers' Mike Evans in touchdown catches (9). There is evidence to support the case that he is not only the offensive rookie of the year, but also the most dangerous receiver in the NFL. Though that title may be premature — he has played in only 10 games — few wideouts have played a more prominent role in their offense this season.
