These list are always fun because you can always find holes on them.  I do appreciate the time that goes into compiling them, though. I don't understand why there are so many Qb's.  I can see two, but four opens up a discussion to the selection.  Collin Smith, statistically, is the All-State QB for AA. Glad to see him on the list and IMO he is it for AA.  Some of the other selections are not in the top 10 in a few categories on MaxPreps.

Generally Pittsburgh people don't think highly of District Six football anyway.

this is false. Had nothing to do with it. As I said before, the vote was very close.

I would likely believe it to be false as well. Most of the Pittsburgh sports writers are PSU guys, so I don't they'd hold it against Exree for going to WVU.

If it's on the internet, it must be true.

This seems like a logical reason to me, not that anyone would admit to it. BillMurray has said twice it was close , but close based on what?? It couldn't be stats because you just need to look and compare the different players . So I'm just wondering what the criteria was then??

Plus the local papers/blogs/TV have plenty of WVU coverage too.

Exactly, nobody held his college commitment against him.

it was close based on a couple more people voted for someone else...that's it. We don't base our votes on silly stuff like de-committing from a school..not sure you guys know how the all state teams are created? I can assure you there wasn't a group of people who got together and said "oh, he left Pitt, lets not vote for him". Simple fact is, he did not make the team.
