Right, but we're not talking about D2 Kansas kids or the print media days... With the advent of social media even D2 schools in Kansas, the Dakotas, etc.. have platforms, so these journalist shouldn't overplay their hand.
If a "major all star game" puts any credence in this dude's opinion there's a bigger problem at play here. I would think these all star showcases look at game film and production and don't need a reporter to tell them who can play.
