All you can do is laugh. I honestly have no idea why anyone other than Bama fans would pay for that service anymore.

I'm surprised Shelvin is #8.


Give it time they will drop him just like every kid that chooses LSU over Bama, that is unless he has such a MONSTER year there is no way they can justify it. frick the retards at Rivals and the Gumps at Bama!!!

I think if Dylan comes to LSU its gonna be the reverse Devin White. He will come in as a LB and end up being a RB.

RB is his best position IMO.

Rivals is an irrelevant, dead website. Don't pay it any attention.

Yea Rivals is shite but the kid has been slightly underperforming at camps lately. He may have peaked too early with all the talent he has but when its all said and done, I still believe he will be a great player in college.

Seems like every Bama commit got a huge bump and every LSU commit got dropped in the rankings.
Well a good number of Bama prospects did well at some camps, especially The Opening. The quarterback prospect for Bama Tua was MVP of the 7 on 7 and Leatherwood was a straight beast.

I may have to agree with section 225 here. No doubt Moses is physically gifted. But as far as being a linebacker in the SEC, I just don't see that headhunter mentality from him. As he's gotten older the size of the athletes he competes against have caught up to him. I still want him to be a Tiger because he IS so physically imposing and hope he can be coached up to an all SEC type player, but as of now his film definitely doesn't "wow" me anymore.

He has all the great measurables, but his game tape is not top 10 player worthy. Look at the top LBs from each year and their film is "jump off the screen" dominance. Moses seems a little timid at times and never really takes over.




he'd start at LSU this year. Yall are crazy

I don't agree. Even with the fact that we are starting a true freshman at LB.

So is Michael Divinity who was the composite #63 player last year and about Moses’ size.

I didn’t say he was a bad player by any means. I just don’t think he’s a top 10 player, just as Divinity wasn’t a top 10 player.

Low 30's seems about right to me, which means he's still very good.

People are down-voting but you may be right if LSU does not land Cam Akers...which appears unlikely at the moment.

Not sure exactly on Rivals, but he was top 5.


He was Rival's number 1 overall player in the country at one time and now he is not even a 5 star player. I don't get it.

He was the #1 overall player as a sophomore when he was bigger and faster than everyone his age and the rest of the country grew up. He's still going to be very good, as his measureables are NFL caliber. But at one point he was considered an absolute freak above all freaks for players his age.

Its like Tazmin Mitchell in football.

Look up his 8th and 9th grade film when he was three times the size of everyone on the field, then look at his most recent film. He doesn't really lay the wood, he kind of rides the players to the ground.

Sorry, Caterpillar, but it appears that there is more this than just he isn't as good as he was a few months ago or 30 players got that much better. I don't even really give a frick what the reasons are, but I sure as hell won't bother with Rivals ever again.

Does it really matter what his overall ranking is? I mean how do they even come up with it? As long as he is a top linebacker that is all that should matter..

Yep.

He doesn't explode into the holes or into tackles like you'd want someone so physically gifted at that position to do. Needs to play angrier.

That said, some of that is because he makes it look so easy. His size/speed combo is elite.
