Hmmm.... Rivals has us ranked at #10, which is a little lower than ESPN (#5).

-------------- Original message from "Buck Shot" <[email protected]>: --------------

Actually it is Rivals that has some 'nolie ownership. Gene Williams, aka Dot.com, has some type of ownership there. As as a result, many times FSU's recruits are "enhanced" and UF's are "devalued. The crazy thing about this is other than the FSU - UF thing, Rivals is perhap the best of the services for ranking recruits and classes. Scout, IMNO, is the poorest, due to their rating system which is based on the total number of recruits you sign. So when we signed a relatively small class, no matter if all 16 had been 5 star recruits, we had no chance to be ranked in the top 10. ESPN, which in the past has been a joke, for the last two or three years has made a serious committment to HS recruiting and now their credibility is among the best. Go Figure.............

I look at it this way... Scout.com's rankings of our recruiting classes versus F$U's has explained the scoring differential in the past 4 years games (UF has outscored F$U 145 to 48) since 2005. Hmmmmm.... You think they may be inflating F$U's class rankings and deflating ours???? :-)

They never like us. I noticed Nick Alajajian was a 5 star player by them until he committed to the Gators, then he suddenly became a 4 star.
Sump'n fishy there!
