Here's a cut and paste from google. Notice anything?

i was just wondering that..
dude was talked about as a 5 star and now he's all of sudden a four star in all the headlines i see.
it's just ridiculous

You summed up their entire recruiting culture with that post. That same perspective cost them an extra 2 million a year by coming in third. Must be cool to get a huge raise and extention for underachieving. And then hold the whole thing hostage for a week just in case anyone had forgotten who is running things around there.
That's close to Absolute Power by the football coach. Could end messy.

Rivals and now 247 are a joke, a freaking joke!

Shocking.

Another example is Rivals ranking of LB Clifton Garrett. Him being a 4 star is laughable.

Hasn't moved his rating since October. Their composite ranking has dropped, but it's derived from their rating and the other sites', so that's because of the other sites, not them.

Germans since there first national championship when Lee Surrendered at appomattox!

it's been laughable the last few years since saban got to bama
4 star kid becomes a 5 star when he goes to bama
then back to 4 star when he de-commits

Alabama should run a side business.
"Verbally commit and get a recruiting bump. If you are devoid of common sense and actually want to go somewhere else, we can help."

Nothing new, but great documentation rumproast. Come home Hootie. 4 or 5 star. We don't care. M

What was the recruiting service that SB nation was using as its source? Was there a change in the rankings since his commitment?
Posted on 12/18/13 at 6:10 pm to drjeff17
It reminds me of the Cam Rob thing. A week before he committed (and was expected to be a Bama commit) he moves up in the rankings above LF so that all of the headlines can read "Alabama steals #1 Louisiana prospect for LSU".
Then they move him back down to where he belongs after the smoke clears. Its ridiculous.

While some of this may be true, but is another program in America that has more talent and depth?
their recruiting rankings parallel the product we see on the field.
I.E. -that freshman TE that went 70 yards on LSU was a freaking stud!!!

Why do I feel the rest of the article would be written like this

Lord Saban will make you regret leaving Ttown! LOL
He’s got the whole world in his hands. Everybody sing along now!

Add in the Tim Williams saga last year. Kid had sunk to 10th or 12th ranked recruit in LA and LSU had actually grown weary of his recruitment. Then as soon as he commits to Bama headlines read "Top Recruit in LA commits to Bama again..."
