New Rivals 100 is out (Garrett Brumfield moves in)

quote:

---

Brumfield stood out to Rivals.com Midwest analyst Jason Howell and jumped 40 spots to No. 91.

"Going into RCS Houston, we already had a pretty good idea Brumfield was a special prospect. He is more of an interior prospect who is powerful, and he loves putting opponents on the ground," Howell said. "At RCS Houston, he did just that as he showed that strong punch and the feet to go with it to anyone who wanted a piece of the action. At the end of the day, he walked away with the offensive line MVP."

bama bias, no way hamilton the lb commit is no. 37 player in country. no way.

But he will be once Saban gets through with him. Isn't that what Rivals said to justify the Bama bump? That they know the coaching at Bama will make them right in 4 years?

Rivals love them some bama

No doubt. Its my biggest criticism of their ratings. Other than that, they are the best IMO, nationally at rating kids, but the Bama thing is almost like the politics of the IRS...and it really isn't anything to question, anymore...

it will be interesting to see how the la. guys fair in the 250. BH, and Godchaux should get good bumps. clapp doesn't camp anywhere and mcdowell is another one to watch.

well deserved.

The Hamilton kid is a good prospect. I don't know about #37 in the nation but whatever. He's good enough that Chavis still visited him after his Bama commit.

I did think it was interesting that the Bama LB commit went up 137, I repeat, 137 spots...that is a bit lofty of a jump...

The main thing is that every time a player seems to make a upward move of this magnitude, 9 times out of 10, it's a Bama commit...

For instance, if CR and LF commit to LSU and make any drop in rankings following it, then I'll verify that suspicion to match with 247.

Shaun Dion Hamilton Highlights

Don't get me wrong, the kid looks like a hard hitter and good player...but, 137 spots can be debatable...sorry to digress...

Seems like a legitimate gripe before they won 3 out of 4 championships. What program is getting better players? Rivals probably does bump a guy Bama targets as a top priority but the results on the field seem to justify that bias.

These so called titles are only legit if you consider do overs, mulligans, backslidden poll politics, and unbalanced conference schedules. Only a simple minded fool actually believes bama really won the MNC in 2011. Lsu had the best team that year, outplayed bama last season, and annually fields as much or more talent than bama.

All 25 kids from every class do not see the field. Plus, rankings are suppose to be based on potential not potential plus who will be coaching them.

Based on facts, lsu still gets more players drafted to the nfl, even in the midget wonders tenure. Where's the lsu slobber rankings?
