The high school kids, that is.

You just never know what you're gonna get right out of the bat.

Gates has had a fair amount of success with transfer players that have been good (and experienced) at fairly high levels.

Can you reasonably expect better production of a 5* high school recruit in year 1 than a Tony Perkins or Caleb Grill or Mark Mitchell?

Remember, year 2+ isn't a guarantee, for anyone.

                         Everyone at the high major level has money - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 13:14:58
                              You have no facts to back that up - Genco98 MU - 9/10 13:20:06

          The world of recruiting was always kind of silly - Gavin Citrus MU - 9/10 08:28:39
               It is getting more and more like the NFL - Genco98 MU - 9/10 10:04:42
