Can someone who follows recruiting more than I do, explain the reasoning why ESPN is so far off form the others?

They rarely update anything.

They don't have the personnel to evaluate the incoming kids, other than the big names.

They don't have personnel in the smaller markets; i.e. Louisiana, Mississippi

It's my opinion that ESPN has spread itself too thin and needs to stay out of the recruiting market unless they are willing to put the resources into that are needed. Either that, or buy out scout or rivals.

Hell, just look at the sites they list as theirs:

OU, UF, UGA, UT, USC, and Mich

You think they may play into those fan bases some?

Can’t explain it, the ESPN recruiting information has been poor for years. They are usually misinformed and have out dated information. They are one of the worst at covering recruiting.
