re: It seems character does matter

Its not only in college, Pro's have a hit and miss. Look at T. J. Houshmandzadeh, he was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the seventh round of the 2001 NFL Draft. Houshmandzadeh dropped out of Barstow High School in Barstow, California, but later earned his GED.

You can look at kids drafted too early and too late.
