To bring it back on topic and relevant to this drift, can somebody explain how Speights only merited 3 stars?  Seems to me a Parade All-American with those statistics and good offers should get at least 4 stars.

He plays in one of the weaker geographic areas, football wise, of Texas, so maybe there is some bias there.

Further to this, and I really hope I eat my words someday, but I did (several times while watching his highlights) think "I wonder if he'll be able to outrun Pac-12 defenders when he tries his east-west cutbacks across the field before turning north-south."
