Hey, he is not "3-star Charles" anymore. Rivals and others gave him his 4th star in the final ratings. He is now a pretty highly regarded guy. Anybody will take him now (and Harbaugh tried too), but when Charlie offered him early last year, people weren't all convinced and said Charlie can only get 3-star nobodies. People only got convinced further after his all-star game. He needs a red-shirt year for Pat Moorer to feed him some beef though.
Absolutely. He was the real glue of this class. Later Cherry joined to deal with the Florida guys and Malik to handle the Texas big shots. We can't thank Charles enough for all he did over so many months to recruit for us.
