Supposedly August.... For those who mentioned several players (Neal, Boutte, and others) I read a rivals article that said most of these players will not get a bump in ranking b/c of camp performances and it just shows that most of the players were evaluated properly. However, it's funny to me that during the rivals 100 challenge (Ga.) rivals scouts kept on and on about OJ Howard more than likely getting a fifth star b/c of his performance at the camp.

Did it name those guys specifically? boutte and white belong in the rivals 100, period. I guess Neal dominating 4 star OL at multiple combines shows he's properly evaluated as a 3 star.

To me personally, I don't really give ah %#*^...Well let's just say see my earlier post. I trust what the STAFF does over any recruiting service any day of the week!

You guys do realize that the coaching staff recruits most of the 5 star and a great many 4 stars don't you?

ETA: The coaches do not recruit to the stars, more often i think its the other way around. Services give higher rankings based on who is recruiting someone.

It would be great to see that happen & Boutte is very deserving, based on his strong play in the summer camps.

But I am more intersted in the Tigers' securing his commitment, along with that of Neal, and everyone else currently pledged to LSU.

They also recruit kids who are NOT 4 and 5 star-rated. So what's the point of saying they recruit 4 and 5 star kids? Our staff recruits kids who they assess have the talent and potential to help our team win championships. Period. When the services give a kid 5*'s they are predicting he will have a 1st round-worthy career -- being among the Top 30 kids in their class. Last year -- and they are historically consistent in their predictive performance of 1st round kids -- they were right on 4 of them. 4 of 32. Every time you post to defend these services and their record of failing to identify elite talent, you appear to be what you deny: a faith-based worshiper. Get off your knees and give it a rest, okay? Or at least stop insisting you are not a clueless star-gazer. Your defense of the indefensible says you are.
