Half of the 30 kids was from WO-S.  I guess that's what it takes to be a state champion...

[NDOMAKONG]

Corbin Smith will be one of the top 10 recruits next year

No love for PNG or Vidor?

Congrats too all the kids thats on the list. I think MORRIS JOSEPH (Wos) and TE'RON BROWN (WOS) can be considered Top Recruits as well.

Kids from legacy made the list, it's about time they get noticed

Top 30 greater BMT golden triangle. (Why sports writers from the area continue to consider bmT to be southeast Texas exclusively blows my mind. Nevertheless, good  for the kids in the triangle to get some praise. Several good athletes left out of the conversation from even BMT area though.

[Kj Dad]

Deonte' Henson (WB) should be consider as well!

[dBerrySports]

Keynel McZeal seems like he should be on the list.

This list is very inaccurate... No offense to the kids, but being a top recruit isn't based on talent or skill. It is your projection to the next level. Some of these kids are not sized accurately for their position to be labeled "a top recruit"

Some of these kids will not play the same positions in college that they play in high school!

Well, Earl Thomas wasnt sized correctly either, you see how that ended up.

Very true.  Nothing against the kids but college coaches are going to be a lot more interested in a guy like Corbin Carr (#22) at 6'5" 300 lbs vs Jack Dallas (#3) as a 5'9" QB

It also says top recruits for the area, not for the state or the country. So besides a few names that could be argued, I don't see how the list is very inaccurate. The 30th "best" (however you determine that) recruit in SETX usually won't have the same recruiting notice that the 30th best in D/FW, Houston, etc has.

And being a top recruit is based on some skill or talent. Some HS players have done more at this level and may plateau in college, some didnt do as much in HS and are going off of potential, some are a combination. But to say it's not based off of talent or skill at all isn't accurate in my opinion.

Realistically, there are all state kids that don't get recruited very hard.
