Didn't Andre Anthony rise up in the rankings? Hopefully that helps some.

I'd assume so. The list in the OP is quite long. Timely update IMO.

That's because he is NOT a 3 star talent.....and they know it.

This one is going to make them look damn silly.

Actually, the founder of Rivals (bama alum), sold with a no-compete clause to Yahoo and sat out the requisite time, then founded and runs 247.


As much as I'd love to think it was a Bama Alum, that's not the case. There is still bias towards Bama for whatever reason. Just to clear it up: Shannon Terry was a former Lipscomb University basketball player in the early 90's out of Nashville, TN. He started and sold Rivals to Yahoo in 2007 for $100 Million. He started 247 Sports in 2010 and sold out to CBS Sports in December 2015. A Tennessee guy........

Rivals is a frickin joke. Now ESPN has him as the number 16 player in the country, which might be a little high, but he definitely isn't a 3 star.

Wasn't there some issues with his performances at the camps? Many people on here were commenting on this when he appeared to be a Bama lean. It seemed his stock did fall some time ago.

I was a Rivals member for 4 years, the service degraded during that time and I am sick of the Bama bias. Dropped them and not going back.

Not a bama bias. Each local Rival guy has some input on in state guys. Mike Scarbough doesn't think Allen is that good. That's his opinion. Well see.

He plays left and they made him play right... He had no extra practice to work on new technique.

He should have told them to shove it.

It's part of the business, I guess. Keep the undecided guys at the top. Pretty terrible and transparent...

By this time, I feel it is ridiculous how much you are paying attention to what the changes in this guy's ranking and ratings bring. We knew they were very good or great. It is not a video game. Let then drop their rankings , we have a hell of a class. If the drop "magically" the performance is not going down like in a video game update. We needed those guys... period
