Here's the deal.

He could have gone to LSU, giving him 4 stars.
He potentially could have gone to Bama, giving him a little known 6th star.

Average the two, and get 5 stars.

He eliminated Bama, going down to 4 stars.

If he would have committed to Bama, he would have surely moved up to share the no.1 spot with Fournette in ESPN's rankings.

They only give out 15 5 stars. He is #17.

He is the #1 WR on their board. (Speedy is a ATH)

That is why these rankings should be taken with a grain of salt....average them all out, and if your school is the top 5 every year, then you're in the conversation.

Bama at #1 is a given and predetermined. Rivals is run by gumps

How do you have a guy the broke all of DGB's records and is the ALL-TIME LEADING WR IN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL HISTORY, who also ran a 4.35 40 time not a 5*?

I checked it this morning and he was 15 and last 5 star.

Scout has us with 2 5 stars with neither being LF or MD as they are only counting signed... LSU still dosnt have letter in hand so MD isn't listed ... Not sure who the 2 are

Seriously does it matter at all he is gonna be a star


I think, Zee, its more to do with respect. Since they have this sports "power" they can sadistically show lack of respect to a kid who is proud of his accomplishments in high school. With all the teams that offered him how can ESPN down grade him so quickly? It has to be to elevate another schools ranking or they where targetting his videos during his announcement an hour ago.

He hasn't moved at all. He's #17 overall and #1 WR on ESPN (since Noil is listed as an ATH) just like he has been since the previous (final) update.

ESPN must be very angry he didn't sign with Bama. So they do what they do to keep that dark spot on their nose from Bamas posterior .

That just means he's rated 1 star higher than Odell Beckham. Wait isn't Odell a possible first round draft pick!
