Weekend wrap — Title for Thomas

On Friday, the Maryland women's small forward signee guided Central Dauphin (Pa.) to a 49-38 win over Trinity for the Rams' fourth straight Mid-Penn title.

Matt-
Gary doesn't seem to be targeting any highly rated 2's for 2011. I mean, I don't even think any of them are even in the top 150 on Rivals.
Why is this? Or did I miss someone?
I have given up on 5stars, but, I don't even see any 4's at all. He has consistently grabbed a couple 4's, even some high 4s like Parker and Mosley.
Whats the story with that?
