Recruitniks, can you explain why Rasco isn't rated a 5 star?

Rasco has a very, very impressive offer sheet. It seems like every major programs offered him a scholarship. Anthony Johnson rated a 5 stars only had 7 scholarship offers. Wouldn't it have made more sense that Rasco be rated a 5 stars and Johnson a 4 stars.
I guess my point is shouldn't the more impressive offer sheet be more indicative of an athlete's talent?

I think AJ got a lot less offers because he was all lsu from the beginning, while rasco strung out his recruiting process.

Nope, only 7 schools would let him play there.

hmm...then Jesse Williams should be a 5 star since he is mammoth in size. (dang, he also got a very impressive offer sheet)

He was a 5 star on Scout and his offer list is outstanding!

Jesse Williams is another story.....and yes he should have been a five star.
But Rasco's size is not typical of incoming DEs that can dominate immediately. That's why you give Clowney or Drew a five star. They have the size to compete at a high level immediately. Rasco needs to get in the weight room with Moffitt. He'll be a All-SEC performer soon, though.

No legit reason for not being 5 star IMO.
He will be a great player and may see field as true freshman.
He's that good.

Hey don't laugh at me, I'm just going by what is listed on the Rivals site.

It's official. Freak is overrated and Rasco is the next Jason Taylor
Posted on 2/4/11 at 8:47 pm to Brageous
Because he did not commit to Bama.
Posted on 2/4/11 at 8:48 pm to shoelessjoe
We would have moved him to LB.
Posted on 2/4/11 at 8:49 pm to The Sockster
b/c he is not a Bama recruit...Had he shown more interest towards that way, Rivals ownership would have made him a 6-star

I'm not putting AJ down. I was simply wondering why a 4 star athlete would have more scholarship offers than a 5 star athlete. I'm no recruiting expert and will never claim to be, it just befuddles me that a lower ranked athlete should have a better offer list than the higher ranked athlete.
Hence my question as to why Rasco isn't a 5 star.

a. freak was likely going wherever frank went, as long as frank was coaching at a decent school. add in the fact that he was recruiting for a LA school and freak was a 100% lock from that point
b. scout/rivals gets offer information from the kids themselves. i doubt freak was giving much information to other rivals sites. rasco had an open recruitment and had much more exposure

Because LA already had 3 five stars and they're never ever gonna give us 4 five stars, period.

Rasco will end up being top 10 of his class
