A buddy of mine called me tonight and asked me a recruiting question from an article he read. I won't link it since it is by Dennis Dodd. But here is the interesting part.
"Nevertheless, the prospects are bright for Gary if history is an indicator. The last overall No. 1 recruit not to be drafted was Penn State's Adam Taliaferro (2000), who suffered a debilitating spinal cord injury in college. Since then, no overall No. 1 has been drafted lower than the fifth round."
I didn't follow recruiting much at that point in time. Is this true? Was Taliaferro the #1 recruit in the country?
