ESPN also has like 700 4-stars which completely waters down their individual player ratings. You have a guy in the 600''s nationally that would be a mid 3-star on Rivals, Scout and 247, and he gets 4-stars on ESPN.
I'm not a fan of ESPN at all, for the simple fact that they rarely update their rankings on prospects as time goes along. They do almost nothing when it comes to combines and camps and moving guys around based on how they perform there. All their rankings are basically based on one camp (The Opening) and soph / junior film on a player.
With that said their rankings are no less reliable than rivals or 247. This whole recruiting thing is a sham. None of the services are any more accurate than the other on who will be good and who won't.
