The highest level recruit is more than measurables and videos. There is an aspect of character, drive, and integrity that don't necessarily get factored into starsies.
Interesting take on that process discussed on by a top talent bug from Scout on Rivals radio. He was more specific than that. He said that starsies measure the pure physical characteristics and outside of that are not intended as a football success measure. They do not measure heart, honesty, work ethic, injury, degenerative disorders or whether or not a player may be thinking about quitting the sport or anything else.
The interesting thing was, this talk took place a few years back and was a segue from a conversation about the UT recruiting woes. The inference was that Mack was going down their list signing players.
