As most of you know, I have kept an excel sheet of the rivals ranking changes (since the historical rankings are deleted after every update). Here are some of the guys that moved:

Shaq Evans -12
Jamarcus McFarland -10
DJ Fluker +27
Kraig Appleton -36
Eddie Lacy -32
Sam Montgomery +23
Janzen Jackson +42
Kenny Bell (dropped out of 250, >97 spots)
Lamin Barrow (dropped out of 250, >89 spots)
Michael Ford +82
Tom Wort +100
Rantavious Wooten +>78 (moved up at least 78 spots into top 250)
Patrick Lewis -11

If you have any specific questions about guys, let me know. The sheet is too long for me to try and post on here.

Its not very hard to do at all and I find it interesting (as many others do too), so I keep a tally.

Thanks. When the FINAL rankings come out I will put in a formula into a sheet to calculate how much the guys have changed since the original rankings to the final rankings. The 'changes' I am listing right now are only from one update to the next, not how much they have shifted since the very beginning. It would be a hassle to keep all the numbers straight if I did the changes from both the beginning and each updates for the entire year.

We should finish with:
Probables:
Craig Loston
Barkevious Mingo
1 Defensive End (Ed Stinson is a name to watch out for)
Xavior Sua'Filo/Marcus Hall (whichever commits first)
Rueben Randle

Between Probables and Possibles:
Andre Debose

Possibles:
Xavior Nixon (I think he signs with UF)
Jarvis Jones
Jon Bostic
Jamarcus McFarland
A ton of DE's (Sam Montgomery, Craig Drummond, etc)
Tahj Jones
Kevin Brent
Devonte Holloman

Little to No chance:
Trent Richardson
Christian Michael
Chris Williams

Those names come to mind. I'm sorry if I forgot someone important -- I can add them on if you name them.

Is there a specific reason why Kenny Bell fell so much? Some of the other movements (TR, Ford, Wooten) make sense because they have performed very well so far, but Bell falling out of the 250 seems a little strange to me.

Mingo moved UP three spots from 174 in the last rankings to 171 this time.

More than anything, his shift up has to do with guys like Lamin Barrow and Kenny Bell that were both ahead of him dropped completely out of the top 250.

There were a few guys that went from the 120s-150s to completely out of the top 250 AND they lost their 4th star!

Bell has been pretty quiet thus far this year.

He had a long catch and run against WM I believe, but the CB fell down on the play.

He just hasn't done that much. I watched some film on him from earlier in the year and he wasn't able to beat guys 1-on-1 off screen plays. He had a bunch of receptions in one of his first games this year but had almost no yardage b/c he couldn't break a tackle or juke his CB.
