I love the rankings for what they bring as far as discussions but I trust MY eyes just as much as I trust Barton Simmons or Steve Wiltfong or Chad Simmons or Tom Luginbill. I know what my eyes like & go from there. Of course if Bama or Ohio st or UGA is willing to take you then you must be a top prospect. Here have a 4th *. The work comes from the kid ranked 300 isn't any different than the kid rated 500. That's why recruiting is a tool & entertainment not the end all be all.
