No need to worry about this.


Do you want underwood or not.

Nobody is listening to Rivals.

I’m shocked they’re still paying for the domain.

Maybe they see something with that reclassified 2026 recruit, Julien Lewis, that makes them think he is the better prospect, IDK. I did an article where they were comparing him to Trevor Lawrence. Still I think we are good with Underwood.

Yeah we want em..shite
It is just crazy that these recruiting sites have to make up drama to make their money. I know good and well that the big 3 won't keep their #1 ranking til they sign.

It’s there business model to keep people subscribing. No drama with underwood and they can’t sell subscriptions to dumbasses.

Rivals is currently undergoing therapy for future 5 star rankings with Saban retiring. They are looking for suitors as we speak.

Laughable. Reading about him a little bit, his new ranking is about 50% hype and 50% on field talent. Not surprising that ESPN and Rivals would have him #1. While On3 and 247 have him as Top 15 player but aren't close to crowning him as the no doubt #1 player in 2025.

Probably got a USC/Lincoln Riley bump too.

quote:

On3 Julian ‘Juju’ Lewis Scouting Summary

“Polished signal caller who turned in the most productive freshman season among 2026 quarterbacks. Has been touted as a high-profile prospect, earning offers as a middle schooler. Measured in at around 6-foot-0.5, 185 pounds with a 9.5-inch hand prior to his sophomore season. Turned in a strong freshman campaign, completing 65.5% of his passes for over 4,100 yards and 48 touchdowns against 12 interceptions while leading his team to a state title appearance. Played well while facing some of the strongest competition among 2026 quarterbacks.

“Has advanced accuracy and overall polish at this early stage. Very consistent on a throw-to-throw basis in the camp setting. Shows the ability to locate passes to several areas, including over the middle of the field. Shows nice touch and ability to layer the football. Navigates the pocket well, sliding up to elude pass rushers. Can make defenders miss in space. Has plenty of time to continue growing, but is not overly physically imposing at this stage. Flashes a good arm, but his upside as a pure, top arm talent remains to be seen. Can also continue improving as a creative playmaker as he gets more varsity experience.

Rivals was actually the only sight that had underwood at #2 even before that other qb reclassified.

Is the idea here that they put him at #2 because he's committed to LSU? You guys can't possibly believe that the recruiting services are out to get LSU, can you?


My favorite part of this whining is that there's precisely zero chance that you have scouted both of these kids to the point of having an informed opinion as to who's the better prospect.


Imagine that: Bitching that the rankings are wrong without even having an informed opinion about the rankings in question. This board has gotta be the funniest place on earth.

When Hurley reclassed from 2025 to 2024 they dropped him from a 5 star to a 3 star.

I'm not bitching...It's just funny that a kid reclassified and now he is the #1 pro style quarterback. 5 for 5 did me in years ago

Seems more likely that it's a case where a service hypes a kid up since he's been in 8th grade and doubles down even though he is probably peaking already. Dylan Moses 2.0.

Comparing Lewis at 6'0.5" 185 and above average arm strength (elite accuracy) to 6'6" 220 Lawrence who had elite arm strength and accuracy is poor scouting.

Rankings are dumb, but their justification for him being the #1 player in the country was because he's the best QB prospect they've seen in years
