Nice find Muck... Thanks...

 

[jwinslow]

thanks for posting this.

if BP ever does average their rankings as discussed previously, I hope we don't include espn... their ratings are fairly suspect IMO.

Most definetly. ESPN's recruiting is a joke and should not be taken serious. What all sites would we take into consideration? Rivals, Scout, and Emfinger?

8 guys out of the top 200 in the country is very darn good if you ask me.

I question Wells being number 9. I think you would find it very hard to find 8 other players out there that are better/more college ready to be a superstar than Wells.

I was interested in the list, but if there are 8 players better than Wells in America, then where have they been?

 

[stowfan]

I'm suprised Ballard and Chichester didn't make the list.

Didnt Mustain go something like 2/12 for -2 yards or something like that???

I know WR-QB chemistry is real important, but that kid did not impress me one bit, he had multiple targets open and threw it 6 feet over their heads. Im not saying that he wont be a great college QB, but having Mustain 6 spots ahead of Wells is very questionable.

 

[BuckTwenty]

Florida has 18 players on that list. Texas has 14. USC has 10 of their 15 players on that list. Amazing.

I was thinking the same about Rose.

I'd like to see the 117 kids better than him considering he was clearly among the top 5 most dominant players in the AA game.

Keep in mind with Wells that the "early commit effect" is in play there. Whether it's a deliberate or subconscious bias, declaring early for a school has a tendency to depress a player's ratings a little amongst the various for-pay services.

Still, they correctly have him as the #1 RB. :)

I'm surprised that they have Tim Tebow all the way down at 13 (and #3 QB). If he and Harvin both pan out to be all that they're expected to be, that's going to be one amazing passing combo in a couple of years.
