Speedy Noil listed as the #8 player in the country, while Rivals doesn't even have him breeching the top 100??

Because ESPN rankings sucks my balls. The only reason it's a good list this year is because they have so many LSU players ranked so highly.

Hence, the attention that list is getting on this board.

It's a shame, really.

Although I partially agree, Rivals is dropping the ball on Speedy....Both ESPN and 247 have him ranked pretty high.

Well, Rivals hasn't updated their list in over 2 months, whereas ESPN updated theirs a week or two ago. I would think that Speedy would get a nice bump whenever Rivals re-rates him.

Yea but there hasn't been any football played since Rivals released their. I don't know why we would expect any significant jump because the other lists have him high.

But there has been several camp and combine performances that tend to give guys a ton of movement.

Speedy has jumped way up recently. He started lower on 247, but moved up when they redid the rankings here a week or 2 ago. ESPN just unvieled their rankings. I don't Rivals has revised their ratings in a couple of months.

Bama must be leading. Top 10 recruit and grew 4 inches.

Noil's performances at various NFTC camps should be enough to give him a nice bump.

ESPN's ranking came out after the camps, if I'm not mistaken. I'm sure Rivals will bump him up.

Because Rivals is ran by former Gumps. This shows how biased they really are. But who cares LSU and the winning programs evaluate their own players and could care less what recruiting services say, especially Rivals or ESPN.
Theyd have him in the Top 100 if he were committed to Alabama, without a doubt.
