Rivals, Scout... Recruiting rankings????

IMO.. These ranking are not very accurate as far as how these college teams pan out. If LSU gets LC we all know Miles has landed the # 1 class. I think that coaches like Miles and Saban have a knack for being able to pick out the kids that can compete at the next level despite their star ranking ala... Jacob Hester. There are a lot of 5 star kids that dominate on Friday nights but are really not cut out to play at the level of an LSU type system. Hell Rivals has Notre Dame up there every year and we all see where their program is...what are your opinions??

There is no distinguishable difference between classes in the top 5 or 10, really.

Thats why there's an art to it, but these ranking agencies are just a guide to potential. They can't project...team performance(Look at Texas, USC, Florida, and their recent rankings).

There are no guaranties with these ratings just like with ratings for the NFL draft. You will find kids that can play that are not rated high but general it does not hurt to pull in some of these highly rated kids. It usually increases your odds of having the right talent level. I think when you look at the Notre Dame they get some talented kids but they don’t get the overall speed and athleticism. They get enough highly rated kids to hit the top 10 but they are missing the depth in the class. Their lower ranked kids (3s & 2s) are not as good as the kids in the SEC. You see it with tOSU. They get a lot of great kids but no depth or overall team speed…. That is my 2 cents

These services do not take team needs into consideration, so I find their ranking systems to be questionable at best. They serve as a general guideline perhaps. ESPN is doing a very poor job of talent evaluation this year.
