2006 Scout Top 100 (Updated 1/23/06)

[MililaniBuckeye]

Your right, looks like they are changing 50-100 to 4 stars

Bingo. What's funny is that right now, since the updates are being done person-by-person, there are some "five stars" ranked lower than some "four stars" (for example, #94 is still a "five star" although most of the players at 50-93 have been changed to "four star" already).

I think that Mack Brown should listen to Tom Lemming and not go after so many early commitments. Mack would be better off waiting, and letting Tom sell more subscriptions in Texas, rather than getting 6 of the nation's top-75 players committed before Texas's summer camps had started.

Gotta be nice to have a top-5 class almost wrapped up already (21 verbals). And this is just an observation, I'm not complaining, because it looks like tOSU will also have another great class this year.

Seems the list is pretty set now. The Ohio boys check in as follows:

#3 Chris Wells
#21 Connor Smith
#28 Justin Boren
#36 Jeff Cumberland
#47 Thad Gibson
#55 Ross Homan
#60 Josh Chichester
#66 Lee Tilley
#68 Jake Ballard
#73 Aaron Brown
#79 Kurt Coleman
#80 Ray Small
#81 Cobrani Mixon

With Wells, Smith, Boren, Cumberland and Gibson being 5-stars and the rest at 4-stars.

We dont usually have this many ohio guys on the list do we?

If you sort by position, they are positioning players for rankings later this week. Looking at DE, Rose, Ryan, and Wade still have only 1*, but are listed soon after the Top 100 guys. So all three of them should be top 15 at their position. DT has Pinkston, McEowen, and Ben Alexander close to the top.. I'm not familiar enough with the other positions to say whether or not Scout has started work on them yet.

It seems pretty standard now

the five stars are in order along with the four, in case the link changed:

How does Scout determine which order they list schools? It looks to be alphabetical for the most part. This is evidence of another SEC conspiracy to get Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas, Florida and Georgia listed above Ohio State, Michigan, Purdue, Penn State and Wisconson but that is another story.

For example, consider Conner Smith
<TABLE id=Cell0_DataGrid1 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=1 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=center bgColor=#eeeeee><TD>OL </TD><TD>21 </TD><TD><NOBR>

</NOBR> </TD><TD>Connor Smith


(Colerain HS)
Cincinnati, OH

</TD><TD> </TD><TD><NOBR>6-5/295/5.10 </NOBR></TD><TD>




</TD><TD>- </TD><TD>Florida, LSU, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Tennessee </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

There is no way Florida and LSU lead above Michigan and Ohio State

There are a few examples where the order isn't pure alphabetic. Does that tell us additional information? For example


<TABLE id=Cell0_DataGrid1 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=1 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=center bgColor=white><TD>CB </TD><TD>82 </TD><TD><NOBR>

</NOBR> </TD><TD>Ray Small


(Glenville HS)
Cleveland, OH

</TD><TD> </TD><TD><NOBR>5-11/170/4.40 </NOBR></TD><TD>




</TD><TD>- </TD><TD>Ohio State, Florida, Iowa, LSU, USC, Miami (Fl), Wisconsin </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>


<TABLE id=Cell0_DataGrid1 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=1 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=center bgColor=white><TD>LB </TD><TD>64 </TD><TD><NOBR>

</NOBR> </TD><TD>Mark Johnson


(Susan Miller Dorsey HS)
Los Angeles, CA

</TD><TD>




</TD><TD><NOBR>6-3/230/4.55 </NOBR></TD><TD>




</TD><TD>- </TD><TD>USC, LSU, Miami (Fl), Ohio State </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>


I could believe that Ray Small is pretty solid with OSU but does Scout know something we don't? Is he more solid than Conner Smith because of the listing order?

I also haven't heard much hubbub about Mark Johnson even though he lists Ohio State. I could believe that is because he is pretty solid for USC.

Just speculation based on listing order,

 

[wadc45]

The schools are first listed by level of interest (High, Medium, etc.) then alphabetically, if I am not mistaken...

Don't put any stock in what order the schools are listed...

 

[unionfutura]

it goes by interest level and then alphabetical

that's how the order is made

Was that Sarcasm or are you serious?

 

[akronbuck]

13 from ohio, I've never seen that many from ohio before.In the past, Ohio was lucky and considered to have a great senior class if there were a few in the top 100 but, 13 to me is funny.


Where's glenvilles de rose at, I've been hearing he had great camps or are the experts wrong agai

If ohio state gets 10 of 13 , do they have a chance to past texas , usc or scum for the # 1 ranking . lol

 

[TheStoicPaisano]

Looking through each position, there are about 180 players with 4* or above. Basically the top 20, except for safety (top 15), tight end (top 12), and QB (top 13).

More Ohio guys are:

Chappell #20 CB
Peris Edwards #11 S
Rose #11 DE
Wade #12 DE
Ryan #16 DE
Meagher #11 TE

 

[Taosman]

Again, with OSU having only 19 ships to give we're gonna miss out on some serious talent!

OK, I added a sacasm icon. Is that better?

 

[goodguy]

Can someone please tell me how Aaron Brown fell to the fourth ranked Olinemen in Ohio, that is he's the fourth Olineman ranked on the Rivals 100 list. He is the number two overall prospect in Ohio according to Duane and number three according to rivals, did something happen that I'm not aware of? I know Pool, Duane etc. will differ in opinion but it seems like this kids stock is falling.
