    Re: Final Rivals Rankings

    Rival's rankings make absolutely no sense to me anymore. Two kids win Gatorade Player of the year in their states (GA and SC) yet they are three stars. One wins National Gatorade Player of the year.......

    24/7 has really taken most of the good people. I would say even Scout is comparable which would have been laughable a couple years ago. I am thinking of cancelling my rivals account. If Hubbs where to ever leave volquest I would for sure. He is the only thing that keeps me there.

    Bunch of Bama homers.....

    Re: Final Rivals Rankings

    I dont have a problem with them rating a Player of the Year low. These rankings are really projections for impact at the college level, not what they have already done.

    Re: Final Rivals Rankings

    Here is a list of 5 stars (their so called impact players) over the last 10 years at UT. I got this off another site. But it shows to me at least that they haven't been very good at their evaluations at least when it comes to UT.....

    james banks-kicked off team (drugs)
    mondre ****erson-rape charges
    brandon jefferies-transfered to nc state
    jonathan mapu-left to go on a church mission and came back out of shape
    gerald riggs jr.-didn't make it the NFL
    robert meachem-won a super bowl with the saints
    jesse mahelona-mediocre career in the nfl. killed in a car wreck while driving under the influence
    albert toeaina-spits on camera man after a loss to vandy
    demetrice morley-kicked off team for missing practices and being late all the time
    walter fisher-no clue what happened to this guy
    eric berry-great career in college and on his way to big things in the nfl
    chris donald-left and went to UTC
    ben martin-hurt last year but has stayed out of trouble
    kenny o'neal-left the program after he couldnt keep his grades up
    brent vinson-involved with a murder investigation and covering up evidence
    bryce brown-we all know how this ends
    janzen jackson-already been in trouble (hope he keep his act clean under Dooleys direction)
    darick rogers-already been in trouble (hope he keep his act clean under Dooleys direction)

    lulz, thats exactly what it is, they rate UT commits lower because they are big Bama homers.

    Give me a break.

    This makes two threads you are whining about Alabama. Id be more worried about UT winning more than 6 games instead of worrying so much about Alabama

    Rivals used to be alot better. I have had a subscription for years.....

    No one is whining about your beloved Tide.... But the truth is Bama bends the rules in oversigning and Rivals usually bumps there recruits ratings. Look at the last couple years. But like most Bama fans who have jumped on the bandwagon either years ago or last month you don't want to hear it.....

    Also I worry plenty about UT but I don't care if we win one game you won't hear me say much postive about Alabama..... Give me a break.....

    yeah, im a bandwagon fan. i just started rooting for alabama the last two years. i didnt suffer thru the early 2000s, the worst stretch in bama history.

    and you are flat out wrong. bama breaks no rules with the oversigning. CNS does absolutely NOTHING that CDD cant do.

    all i hear is *wwwaaaahhhh* *wwwwaaaaahhhhh* bama had better recruiting classes than UT, but its only because rivals has a hard on for bama *wwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh*

    Show me where Rivals has bumped an undeserving Bama committ. Dee Hart? the MVP OF THE ARMY AA GAME? the only player in army AA history to rush for 100 yards?

    theres no doubt Rivals has fell off, I said it earlier in this thread.
    but this rankings is their best one, since they have seen all these guys at the all-american games.

    I also posted the ESPN rankings, and they have had Alabama as a top 5 team ranking this year and the past few.
    ESPN has Xzavier D**kson way higher than Rivals does, is that Bama bias too?

    Are you from Alabama? Have you ever lived there? Before you start screaming Waaaa again I am just asking? Why did you pick Bama?

    Listen I never once said Bama doesn't have a great class. Saban always does. But the facts are rivals bumps their recruits most of the time where they do not for alot of other schools. For whatever reason. But in alot of peoples opinon if a guy is going to get a bump commiting to Bama nevers hurts his chances.

    I guess Brent Calloway overnight went from a 5 star to a 4. All it takes is a decommittment from Bama to Auburn. Hart up, ****son up, Sylve up, Kouandjio jumps Collins, (Which is a joke), Depreist up, I mean come on. I know they are good players but every year same thing....

    And nobody is crying. Will make it all the more rewarding when we finally beat that ass again.
