Quote: "None of these guys was highly touted coming out of high school..." Really? Jamil, Vander, and Junior were all Top 50 on RSCI. Juan and Steve were Top 100. Todd made a nice name for himself in the National Prep Showcase and was just outside Top 100.

I love that he called this the best TEAM in America and that he said Buzz is national COY.
But for Pete's sake, get the background info correct.
