So Carlos Wakins is a "wreck". Didn't know his injury was that serious.

Carlos Watson was in a very serious accident, he was not seriously injured but he was pinned in the vehicle for 2 hours, he had some very serious hematomas in his legs. He missed several weeks of practice and was very sore. I was in a head on collision in my teens, I was not seriously injured but did not poop for 5 days and did not get out of bed except to poop for 7 days. I could not hold my head up without a brace for a month. I had no serious injuries either. The hematomas I think were the biggest issue, contact or heavy exertions could have broken a blood clot lose and caused a heart attack or stroke.

I had a relatively minor traffic accident last May and had some of the same issues you describe

Mackensie Alexander?

David, unless you know something I don't, you should add Mackensie Alexander's name to that list somewhere!
I know of some physical issues and some personal issues with the transition... but IMO... this 5-star recruit who red-shirted last year could strengthen atleast HALF of the secondary with his speed and play on the ball while it's in flight.
Don't forget his "return" to the field.

caring about star ratings. Recruiting rankings are a complete waste of time. If Gaines Adams, Tye Hill, Vic Beasley, Michael Palmer, Willy Korn, Jamie Harper, Anthony Waters, Aaron Kelly, Corey Lambert, Phillip Merling, Irvin Brisker, Barry Richardson, Jaime Cumbie, Darius Gaither, Chris Hairston, Andre Branch Markish Jones, Coty Sensebaugh, Kenneth Page, Tyler Shatley, Bryce Mcneil, Tavaris Barnes, Grady Jarret, Adam Humphries, Eric Mclain, Mike Bellamy, Cortez Davis, and Lateek Townsend haven't already proven to you that star ratings are a terrible waste of your mental effort, then you will always be hopelessly brain-washed by the recruiting services. We won't know the class ranking of 2014 until about 2017 or 1018. That is a fact.
*I say this because so many people are focusing on Alexander, when people like Beasley, Grady Jarrett, Adam Humphries and other lowly hyped recruits matter more.

Amen to that CSO

Couldn't agree more. Now to be fair there have been some four and five star recruits who HAVE panned out very well but then too there are some two and three stars and even less that have turned out even better.

Epitome of that in this class is Jabril Robinson. Kid is an animal and only picked up a 2 * rating. He will be doing big things at Clemson.
