Wow pretty different rankings, but i did like that they showed some love to bray and about time M. taylor got some love. I am really high on this guys i think he is going to be great under cmk.

In the related Chat wrap:

Someone asked if due to the turnaround of J. Crompton and the emergence of Barkley -- would Scroggins switch to Tennessee?

He said "No, and Tennessee did very well to get Bray."

FWIW...

Good question. I understand that different recruiting services give different ratings to players, but the differences generally aren't that big.

I'd really like to know why ESPN is so VASTLY different from rivals and scout.

because espn isnt very bright... its entertainment and that doesnt apply in terms of recruiting rankings

Tom Lemming --- if they are recruited by Notre Dame they have a vastly higher rating.

I remember a Bruce Feldman article about Myron Rolle back when he was a top rated recruit. Myron called-out Tom for basically recruiting for ND, telling him that ND would be MUCH better for him than FSU. Ever since reading that, I have absolutely NO respect for Tom Lemming, or any of his ratings. ESPN's ratings are more geared to play up the hot team at the moment (UF) and whoever happens to be playing in their UA game. Sickening.

This list is ****. Bray should be higher, miller should be a little lower, Palardy should NOT NOT NOT be #15(wtf?). I think Ambles is right though

How come cobbs is so high? Rivals doesnt have him that high... They all (espn, scout, and rivals) differ quite often.

This is better, but still flawed, but anyone that looks at these as an actual prediction of who is going to be the better player at the next level is crazy. It's nothing more than a guessing game. There are just too many unknowns to ever really know. These rankings will always be flawed and you will always have stories of the 3 stars that turned into 1st round picks and (less often) the 5 stars who were complete busts. Take it for what it's worth which is very little.

Rivals is way off on Cobbs. He is a 6.0 type talent at the very least.

Same with Corey Nelson and Ahmad Dixon. They are both 5* guys IMO from what I've seen of them.

Rivals has completely overated some prospects like Latwan Anderson, Chris Martin, TJ Stripling, etc...

I really don't get the T.J. Stripling rating. I agree about Cobbs Hardy, kid is going to be straight nasty.

Good post, Montrell. I agree. I hope Chris Martin is overrated if he sticks w/ Notre Dame but I could see him being the real deal. The rest I agree w/ 100%.

Yeah, this is the key. It's all about hyping up their all-star game. They have about as much credibility as I do and that ain't much.

Because his family has had season tics to all of NC State games for a while. The kid grew up a Wolfpack fan and loves them!!!!
