Wow, the hits just keep on coming 
I see none of our commits got bumped up.
Did they give an explanation as to why?

This looks intentional, why do they keep downgrading our recruits?

Feist and Gordon aren't going to be as good now that rivals has taken away a star OMG : (
The program is in shambles.

Didn't say a thing about Gordon.
For Fiest, the hack Perroni said he's a guy without a position because he's only played DE in hs and struggled at UA at LB. Also said he disappeared in the Dome. Basically for no reason.
We had 2 guys drop from the 250 to 3* players on there. Just more reason and evidence in my argument that Rivals is a sham of it's old self. Haven't taken them serious since the funding problems started and people started bolting. Their rankings are 90% based on camps,combines,7 on 7, all star games and politics. The fact that they'll outright deny this and will say that the entire body of work means more is not evident from their actions. If Fiest was a 4* and top 250 player based on his body of work all year but a 3* based on 1 all star week where he was playing LB for the 1st time and actually impressed most people then their explanations of how the rankings work is just a flat out lie. That's just an example of 1 of our commits. There are many more.
Avery Johnson was rightly dropped but the question is why now and not earlier? He had a bad year before now. It is purely based on the all star game but they deny that. He is now ranked 247 after previously being 75. If his true ranking was that different then why wait until the final ranking to drop the kid 172 spots? Their actions don't support their explanation and reasoning.

Don't care about the stars.....if they lose or gain a star doesn't change the player or what they bring to the table. Consider it a preseason ranking 3 years too early.

Feist dropping just proves how much a joke rivals is now.

They can drop them all to 2* for all I care. Same players, we know they're good, and outside of Oxford and Alabama, they don't hang banners for "recruiting national championships".
Heck, maybe other schools would stop trying to take sway our commits if they were ranked lower.
Oh, and frick all teams who wear red.

What difference does it make if the LSU coaching staff wanted them? Ronnie Feist's performance in the Under Armor All Star game was better than several other players who are rated much higher. I was more impressed with Feist in the game than Landon Collins.

These ratings I would bet is used by these teams to close out their recruiting. You can see a recruit who is trying to make up his mind may do so if he thinks he'll be among the best class. The only one in 1st place every year is Bama and texas. Now I see that Duval from Bama is still a 4*. Did he play in any all star games? Skewing the rankings is favor of your favorite team is all Rivals is doing.

who cares , when they play on Saturday I don't any stars next to their name . It's all nonsense anyway .
