Talented running back Alex Collins, a North Carolina quarterback commit and a Penn State offensive line commit all were big movers in the most recent 2013 Top247.

Why does James Quick keep dropping?
He's had another huge year and got the best of Ramsey in their matchup. Polished WR with elite speed, I don't get it.

The flip side is California is one of the top 3 states represented in the Top247, as always.

Most believe Florida State is the favorite over Miami. Don't see Wisconsin - or that far from home.

#1 in producing talent, yet #3 in the recruiting rankings.
Seems like bias to me, whether it's unintentional or to sell subscriptions, who knows.

No move in rating of Tyren Jones huh? Even after another strong season of proven on-field performance. I still say most college-ready back in this class.

Little bit more movement for PSU recruits than I expected. Cothren to mid-3* and Nelson to 4*.
The guy I thought truly deserved an extra star is Brendan Mahon.

Plenty of California prospects on the list.

If you can make a legitimate argument on a player, feel free.

Like Mahon a lot but Nelson's senior film blew us away.

I think both are about right, especially Thomas, but we are always evaluating.

Perhaps but "most college ready" does not equate to five star.
Jones has moved up our list and enjoys a lofty ranking nationally. We will see him again so he could move up or down again, but in terms of long term projection, we like him where he is right now.

We still are high on Taylor, Collins has more rare qualities given his speed, vision, size, etc.

Are you guys working on something that shows a players movement in rankings? Otherwise I have no idea who moved up or down.

Was Collins hurt, didn't play, or you guys just didn't see him, because it would seem that the qualities that you mentioned speed size vision etc, was their when you ranked him below Kelvin in first place.

Is the staff going to reevaluate Tracy Sprinkle? He had a monster year statwise and received the defender of the year award in the football powerhouse state of Ohio.

Football players develop, get better, get bigger, get slower/faster. These are prospect projections, not the all-state football team.
With Collins, the big thing was 178 pounds and is now 210 and hasn't lost his speed or skill at all. In fact, he's better. Plus, senior film.
