Yea what a joke bc Marshall has a kid Aaron Franklin heading to OU as a LB or safety. Nowhere to be found.  ???

The real joke is that there are probably dozens of players just as good as Franklin who receive no exposure (smaller schools, less covered areas, etc.) and will not be going anywhere. Atleast he has been given a shot. In addition, those players who do make the All-State team will see their recruiting clout go up tremendously and will, most likely, receive a scholarship to a D1 school. In contrast, many players (perhaps even better players) will never get that recognition and, therefore, never go to any college. It's a big crapshoot and the player with the loudest horn section behind him has the advantage.

And then there are those cases where a highly recruited kid, has a decent senior year, but gets voted to the All State team and in some cases MVP when he did not even make his districts 1st team. The locals recognized the kids that put up the numbers, but all the All State voters just recognized the name.

As I recall the 2008 season-Cody Green senior QB @ Dayton w/5,000 + yards passing/rushing his senior year and did not make all-state.Go figure he's already playing QB some @Nebraska.If you remember the QB talent was big in 08 so not making doesn't mean squat.
