I believe rivals is the oldest and most accurate recruiting site. McKinley on other sites is Louisiana’s number one prospect but rivals says it’s Treydez Green which I believe is true.

Rivals may be the oldest, but it’s been left far behind. Its former owner has raided them twice now since starting both 247 and On3. They no longer have the number or quality of evaluators to keep up and that is reflected in their overall perception in the industry and in the smaller weighted percentage they are given in composite grades today. Personally, I don’t respect them or ESPN enough to give the composites any respect. The only reason they still exist is their past reputation. They may be a lot better than ESPN, but that isn’t saying much.

As for Green and McKinley, that’s a judgement call. Greene may be the better player today, but that’s not all that the services are looking at when they evaluate them. And justifying your favored service based on two player evals is pretty fricking ridiculous anyway.
