Not that we needed them to prove it, but a two-year study recently published by the Michigan State secondary conclusively demonstrated hype based on years-old recruiting rankings is less valuable than the arc of a guy's college career. Chris Hinton Sr.'s five-star younger son's first three years of college were less than five-starry, but he was starting. This is why the announcement that Stanford refugee Myles Hinton had chosen Michigan was as bewildering as it was welcome. I mean, has he seen the depth chart? Is he planning to step ahead of LaDarius Henderson? Karsen Barnhart? Trente Jones? Jeff Persi? It's not the first time a Hinton, at least on the surface, has made a head-scratching career decision. But here's the thing about the whole 5-star transfers down approach: How well has it worked out for those guys? The young portal era has already produced a hundred stories of hyped high schoolers who transferred down to move up the depth chart when they weren't playing enough. How many guys transfer up because they were playing too much? What does it tell you about a guy when he moves to a more competitive situation because of their record for development? What kind of guy says stuff like this? If I work harder, I’ll grow more. Putting myself in positions where I might be a little bit behind or a little bit disadvantaged, in the long run it’ll work out to my advantage. Maybe there's more to Myles than his underclassman tape. [After THE JUMP: How do you tell?]
