Jaximus, I get what you are saying about him at Mullen, but one of the reasons he would possibly be more highly recruited there is that it would be better competition.
I hear ya. He had some decent numbers against better teams. I looked up the top 3 teams he played.
Lakewood was 2nd in 5A and his stats were:

His numbers were pretty gaudy against lower competition. But I find it impressive that he still put up good numbers against good teams that had much more talent than the team he was on.
He was impressive in his Sophomore year highlight, but his Junior year looked much more impressive. I think we are lucky that many other schools hadn't jumped on him. And of course I'm always rooting for the kids who stay at a DPS school rather than transferring to a Creek, Valor or Mullen.
