re: Our 3 2013 commits..

You are absolutely correct. Coppage works his arse off to scout and properly evaluate the kids in LA. Sonny also does a great job. They make TSD worth the money because you get their input on the top players in the state. The best in the business when it comes to evaluating LA kids. Problem is that they have no great influence on how Greg Simmons ranks the kids for the Southeast region for Scout and then how they get ranked nationally. All they can do is turn in their evals and press for certain kids but ultimately it's up to Simmons and the other national guys on Scout to rank them and where the kids star and position rankings end up. I think that was more the original posters thoughts. The overall rankings on Scout would be more along the lines of Rivals than 247. Barton Simmons has significant pull in the national rankings on 247 therefore the rankings vary more in LA kids favor there. Scout did a good job overall this year but most of the year had Travin Dural as the #98 wr in the country. That's ridiculous.
