As I am diving back into this game (stayed in but not real motivated for about a year), I have signed a couple nice D2 players that were D1 projected. I then looked at overall signings as I had the 40th best class and was just interested. Towards the top... 1 team signed a 2* recruit while another scored a 1* recruit. There were others ranked but those the only stars. I got to wondering.... what are the "best" (stars only, not obvious attributes) that you have ever seen signed in the lower divisions?

There are some stupidly good D1 players playing in the lower divisions. It is a combination of factors: low #'s of human players at D1 creating a recruit vacuum at the lower ends; no division caps for lower level divisions; and high tolerance for risk. Of course, there also may be a vacuum of good, recruitable players at D2.

Hawaii Pacific (texrangers25) got a 5 star center a couple years ago, I think he was in the top 5 in his class.
