I'm guessing they aren't finished with the rankings because Ford didn't even move any. I think hes getting his 5th star too, pretty sure someone on Rivals said that awhile ago.

So how long until someone points out Rivals waited until JJ showed interest in bama before giving him his 5th star?

Yeah, I don't think he has the top end speed or burst a 5* should have imo. I still love him though and he'll be great at LSU

He ran 4.4 at LSU's camp, I'd say that is elite speed enough.

Jerome Bettis ain't winning a footrace, but I'd make him a 5*.

Sheesh. The kid ran roughshod over top competition and we need 40 times!!!

I don't think is but I know what you're saying. He does take time to build his speed up, some people get faster as they're going along. But still, you have to admit its kind of a travesty he hasn't moved ANY, at least put the damn kid in the 40 range. Not that it really matters, just saying. When you break a old record like that, you deserve something, especially being third in the nation for rushing.

True.

do you judge actual performance or 40 times as most indicative of quality?

Given his Sophomore and Senior years' performance, I say he is a BHP 5*

I'd agree with you books, I dont think Ford has 4.4 speed, but im just thinking of the impact of a guy like mike in training and the weight room. He is probably pound for pound one of the strongest guys in the class and from all accounts, a very hard worker.

I judge HS kids by measurables and on the field performance relative to competition. Just b/c I don't think Ford is a 5 star doesn't mean I don't think he's a very good back. He's rated as the no. 77 prospect in the nation.

Sig updated. Six 5* is actually a possibility, thats insane. Thats unheard of outside of USC.
