A posting on an Ivy League message board references an incoming player being among the top-rated recruits of all-time at a particular school. (All-time in this case meaning since the FBS-FCS split. ;-) (LINK)

EXTRA POINT
On a shelf here in the BGA World Headquarters is a fact-filled, 2007 volume titled The Knowledge Book; Everything You Need to Know to Get By In The 21st Century. When I was in elementary school, high school, college or grad school it would have been invaluable.
Google and the internet have transformed it into little more than an 8½ x 10½, two-inch thick paperweight.
