The only stats that really matter in recruiting are 40 time, height, weight, shuttle time, and bench press.

Matewan, WV had a kid who set the National Rushing record in a single game and put up similar numbers...I don't even know if he even made it to NAIA ball.

Those "paper stats" that colleges look for really hurt them in missing out on good players. I've always thought, yes it is great to have those attributes but if you can't play the game of football what good is it going to do you and the school in giving you a full ride. I've seen some kids that looked amazing on paper, but couldn't walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.
