Sam Spiegelman, who covers Texas and Louisiana recruiting for Rivals, was not as impressed with five-star receiver Julian Fleming as most others are. That helped contribute to Fleming falling eight spots in the final rankings.
Sam Spiegelman (Texas/Louisiana): Julian Fleming is a really good wide receiver and at Ohio State, I fully expect him to make a ton of plays in Ryan Day's offense. However, he's never blown me away with his speed or hands or playmaking ability. While he does everything really well, I am not sure he's a total difference-making wide receiver.
