re: 3-star Dodson named Parade All American

He told a bunch of schools that he wasn't looking around, so they didn't officially offer. I think his low star ranking is partly because of his "no drama" recruitment. Often kids who commit early and don't go to the elite camps to get recognized just disappear off of the radar. This used to be the case for many of the LA prospects.

Its definitely true that kids who don't go to camps generally don't get accurately rated by the scouting services - but that doesn't usually stop schools from offering - especially in state schools.

Dodson didn't commit until June - so its not like he was a long-time commit who had made his decision after his Sophomore season. In state schools aren't usually scared off by commitments to OOS schools.

Dodson's best offers were Missouri, Arkansas, and then a shite load of directional schools.
