I don't think they turned down Boyd. They told him he didn't exactly fit their system as a pro style QB, he then told him that he would honor his scholly but wasn't guaranteed to be playing QB. He could fight for it and if he won great but if not he was going to be moved to another position. I don't think Boyd's father liked hearing that so he decommitted. Now it looks as if he will either be a Buckeye, Duck, or Eagle.

I like Marve and IMO he is very similar to Chris Leak, he will be a good college QB but that will be as far as he will go. He throws one pretty ball.

And just because he is an Army All-American doesn't mean squat. There have been plenty of bust who have graced the nation at the Army game. People who get caught up on recruiting stars are a complete joke, seems like to me there are more 2-3 stars that end up being your best and most productive players on the collegiate level. Normally your 5 stars are bust, not all, but quite a few never see a college field.

Just as an example look at some of the Big 12 QB's that made a huge splash this year, what were they rated coming out of HS.

2005 Class
Chase Daniel (Mizz) - 3 star
Zac Robinson (OSU) - 3 star
Colt McCoy (Texas) - 3 star

Notable 4 and 5 star recruits ahead of them (Ryan Perrilloux [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img] , Jake Christensen, Ike Whitaker, Josh Portis, Kyle Reed, need I go further) These were the Top 5 in that class.

Just a couple of more,

Todd Ressing (Kansas) - 3 star
Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) - 3 star, won the Heisman

So basically, stars don't mean shiz.
