Jared Crick came from Cozad, Nebraska. Far from the biggest class in the state, and just one among many small high school players to be successful at Nebraska.
Sometimes, great things come from small towns, and sometimes it's worth it to go off the beaten path to find a diamond in the rough. Is that the case here? Who knows, it's far too early to tell. However, I don't think you can simply dismiss his potential based upon the level of competition he plays or the high school he attends.
