Yeah, I'm gonna request a link on that one. I've read this guy's interviews and seen his tweets. He's not exactly a Rhodes Scholar.

From what I understand, based off recruiting analyst's articles, is that he had very bad grades and going to a JUCO was his only available option.

There was no point in ranking him high when he didn't have enough grades to qualify.

Plenty of guys with grade issues have been ranked extremely high if they were talented enough to warrant it. Look at Sheldon Richardson for an example of this.

ETA: I'm not saying you are wrong or trying to flame. If it happens as you claim then that is an extremely fricked up situation. Like Alfy Hill fricked up.

Here ya go

He made that move so he could be eligible to play basketball. But that school, Liberty Christian Academy in LaPlace, La., was not accredited. Williams discovered that when he tried to transfer to East St. John High School in Reserve for his junior year.

“I went to a private school for basketball and it was not accredited,” Williams said. “I found that out when I tried to transfer over to a public school.”

At East St. John, he took up football as a junior and became a star receiver. But he knew already he would not be able to attend a four-year college after high school because he had not transferable credits from his two years at LCA.

All of those guys had a shot with summer school and raising test scores. Williams literally had 2 years of HS when he graduated, so he had no shot no matter what he did
