I don't think Calvin was quite that high when he was actually being recruited, right? That appears to be a retroactive evaluation. 247sports wasn't around back in 2004.
247 was scout.com back then.

Zero awareness by that guy. I am sure he talked to Downs, but that isn't a battle you pick. You could either let it go or easily turn it around into a lighthearted joke like "oh, you probably don't remember" because you were getting so much attention or whatever. Rivals should assign us Chad Simmons or promote Russell Johnson into kq's role.

But did they actually have him rated that highly, or was it a retrospective evaluation? I've seen national outlets that even bring up him only being a 4* recruit, so I'm curious about an evaluation that indicates he was a 5* recruit rated among the very elite.

I remember us being in a fierce recruiting battle for him with UGA at the very end; but I do not remember him being a 5* that got national attention.

This is pretty much how I remember it as well. He was a heralded recruit, no doubt, but not one who got the sort of national attention he really deserved at the time.

Calvin was a 5 star on Scout. No, it was not a 'retrospective'. Scout gave us better rankings and coverage back then. We were pretty much ignored by Rivals.

I've watched KQ with interest over the years that I was a subscriber and he's a leftist control freak IMO and those type people usually wind up hurting and sometimes even destroying themselves.
