re: Tigerbait's Updated Top 30 in LA

I personally don't have a problem with these rankings. The guy that did these rankings watched film, went to games, watched film of them at different all-star games. Basically, did his research before making that list. Notice that he didn't change the recruiting ranks last year when LC chose Bama and kept TD at number 2 last year even though he chose Texas. In 2010, he accurately had TM, Tharold Simon, Alfred Blue and Eric Reid, just to name a few, ahead of Trovon Reed. I don't think this has as much to do with him not wanting to rank guys that don't choose to LSU ahead of guys that do as much as it is he actually does some research and decides based off of that. To those that would say that the National Rankings mean more, I would say that is absolutely wrong. That is like saying a guy that writes up a review of Capital One Bank as a whole knows more about my local bank than the guy that writes up a review about my local bank. You might not agree with his review, but I would trust his over the national one any day of the week.

Couldn't have said it better myself. The national guys do a horrible job scouting Louisiana and I'll take Mike's evaluations over that any day. He actually watches all the film and goes to the games. Seeing both, I'll take Patterson over Williams any day. Oh and if Tredavious White doesn't get a 5th star on rivals it's BS. What's worse is White isn't even in the Top 300 on ESPN.
