  • I agreed with everyone giving him a three star but that is poor form by someone that is a national analyst.

    Agreed, he isn't the first kid to leave college after a semester.

    This. It's part of his job to take criticism.

    What was Zeke Pikes TD to INT ratio his Senior year? And was he not a head case then?
    How many teams/Events did he get kicked out of? Just saying you have no arguement.

    Greg reid was and still is a beast.
    James Wilder would have been a great Linbacker. IMO

    Farrell is using behavior as final verification for a rating. Try to keep up.

    I agree with this but it doesn't work in the Farrell/Rivals 5* argument. They specifically said when he was switched into the RB rankings instead of athlete, that they thought he was a 5* RB. They were asked point blank if his ranking was just carryover or if he was a legitimate 5* RB and they said he was a 5* RB. They were wrong then and they're wrong today. He was never and never will be a 5* RB. If they'd left him at Athlete then you'd win this argument but they did not.

    Reid's was legit.

  • First I hope that any analyst isn't ranking players on attitude. But the last time a national guy flamed a fan base on rivals he got fired. Considering how large the auburn fanbase is over there that isn't very smart to try and take a dig at them. They pull some of the most money.

    Marcell Dareus was ranked a 3 star coming out of high school instead of an 5 star because of grade issues..............................

    YOU see how that turned out..

    Honestly that is dumb if true. Cam Newton should have been ranked a 3 star if we are talking about past.

    They had to make the FSU fans happy. And they probably figured he would have moved to LB. If they rank him a 3 star there ranking would have went down and FSU fans would have been pissed and they could lose some of them to other sites. FSU is the biggest subscriber fan Base. Think about it.
    Just like Auburn and some of there inflated rankings and the accusations of an Bama Bias on this site.... They gotta make everyone happy.
    Why do you think they went to this new Ranking format? Cause of people BI***ING.

    THey said they Give people a lower ranking On the other site if they thought they wouldn't make the grades.
    Eddie Lacey also. They said they would have ranked him a 5 star also but they didn't think he would make it in.
    I swear to god. Ask any Bama fan that has been around awhile.

    that was the excuse. they did the same with a few other prospects.

  • I'm holding my nose here, but I agree with the Aubies in here..... Farrell is out of bounds justifying his skills as an evaluator of football talent by the boneheadedness of a kid after the fact. He may have been right, but that's extraordinarily unprofessional. Glad to be on 247.

    Back to regularly scheduled programming...the Aubies are wrong about everything else.

    It is true...at least in that he was a 3*. I've no idea how much grades played into it.
