No one said blindly. Just stated that highly rated players by services might garner attention from coaches (and lead to an offer) to take a look and go from there. Thus more offers especially if some of the blue bloods make offers.
I buy that highly rated players get more attention because of their rating. I don't buy that they're going to have more offers if those ratings are bad and don't match up with a positive internal evaluation. To go back to the original context, Fears is obviously a very talented player. Even if he's a bit overrated, he's still likely at least a top 100 player. Now, that doesn't mean he fits a given team (such as ours) and that doesn't mean he's a lock to be good in college, but there's something there that caught and sustained the attention of both scouting services AND coaching staffs.
Sometimes you see a recruit who is top 100 but whose offer sheet looks more like a 3-star. Sometimes you see a recruit rated in the 150-200 range but with some major programs offering. Those are indications that scouting services and coaching staff evaluations are not always aligned.
