Rivals rankings are absolute garbage.... Turner at #1? Simon at #17? Fellows at #11?

I agree...

There have been people in the know thta have said they were happy we missed on Turner...Not saying that he is bad by any means, but to have him as the top player in Ohio is quite the stretch of the imagination if you ask me...

17 players ahead of Simon is probably one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard in my years of following recruiting...

Also interesting from that Fla. list, only 1 offensive lineman in the top 45 prospects. Now I see why the gators are having to go to Indiana for a guard.

Rivals.com Football Recruiting - National Notebook: Battling to the end

RACE TIGHTENS UP

A commitment from Rueben Randle could help keep LSU's recruiting class at No. 1. The race for the nation's top class is nowhere near over. LSU has had a stranglehold on the top spot for several months now over Ohio State, but there are several teams with enough players left on their boards to push the Tigers for the top spot.
LSU also has plenty left on its board, especially if it can reel in Randle and Richardson and/or pull another surprise or two. That might be enough to keep the Tigers at No. 1.
Ohio State and Texas are virtually done, especially now that Devon Kennard is off the board for the Longhorns. That leaves Alabama, USC and Florida as the biggest threats to make a run at No. 1.
The Trojans surely will get a bounce after adding Kennard on Tuesday, and they could get another huge bump if five-star linebacker Manti Te'o comes aboard. The Trojans also are still involved with Jarvis Jones, Jawanza Starling, Orson Charles and Frankie Telfort.
Florida still is in the mix for Jenkins, Jones, Telfort, Charles, Denard Robinson, Joshua Evans and Marlon Brown. Alabama still has big-timers such as Randle, Reid, Eddie Lacy, Bobby Massie, Barkevious Mingo, Brandon Moore, Kendall Kelly, Dre Kirkpatrick and Darren Myles on its board.

I checked out their points standing and we're only about 50 behind. Hardly a stranglehold and considering we're in on Boyd, Brown, and Hall, we're not close to being done. Not sure why he's ignoring that.

Presumptious for sure, but probably just a well sounded guess based on past signing days. Florida and USC will clean up like normal and we'll perhaps land Hall (hopefully). We have a great class anyways, just sayin'.
