Armanti Edwards wasn't thought desirable enough by Rivals to have any stars:

He wasn't considered a "quarterback" either.
Just something to keep in mind while we're judging recruiting classes based on how many stars recruits have.

Agreed----too much stock put in those ratings. Many of our best players have been "walk ons" and we know how they were rated.....

Wrong. AE had 2 stars as per Scout.com.

Before proclaiming someone had no stars check BOTH Rivals and Scout.

Good GRIEF. I said that "Rivals" didn't think he was good enough to have any stars. I guess I could've entitled it "Armanti Edwards had no Rivals stars." The point isn't that Armanti Edwards wasn't good. The point is that you can't judge recruiting classes by that star stuff. I'm sure if one wanted to look through Scout ratings they could find plenty of players there as well that had no stars that turned out to be good.

OT, but you're not the same tdog(231x) who occasionally stops by the JMU page on the CAA zone are you? Just wondering.

Yeah, you know me from some over there and over here I'm a details guy, and I admit annoyingly so sometimes.
You're one of the posters from other schools that I think most JMU fans don't mind having on there, as opposed to some who come on there solely to stir the pot and start s*it.

You're one of those Myers-Briggs "J" types that I surround myself with at work. I could never hire you though, because I need my Js to be introverts so they don't annoy me.

We have had some of those guys too...most recently Kevin Richardson (all time leading rusher in ASU history, 31 rushing touchdowns in 2006--4 TDs in national champ. game), and Matt Cline.
