First Rivals Top 100 for 2012

[JuliosPigtails]

Rivals released the top 100 today. Only one commit, Eddie Williams at 20, in the top 100. Some very questionable rankings. Do not see how Kwon is at 77. No way he should be ranked that low.

Still very early. Ragland will more than likely make the top 100. UA has quite a few prospects in the top 100 but wow, look at FSU. They are doing an incredible job on the recruiting side.

LSU seems to be doing quite well also, according to this list.

These must be a joke.

Texas has seven so far. That's pretty good, right?

I don't see how any of you can take so much into account with Rivals and their rankings. It's one of the most biased websites for college recruiting there is. I'll read the articles and write-ups on a kid, but the rankings that they provide are downright terrible. Besides, who cares if our guy is 20th or 200th? It's May people!! Take these rankings with a grain of salt. I'll trust Coach Saban's analysis of a recruit over Rivals every time.

TideSports.com - Rivals100: Green-Beckham obvious No. 1

The first numerical Rivals100 for the class of 2012 has been released and many key questions on the minds of recruiting fans have now been answered. Most importantly, fans wanted to know who Rivals.com would anoint as the initial No. 1 prospect in the land for the class following Jadeveon Clowney's bell-to-bell reign as top dog last year.

For those who have seen him, it should come as no surprise to see Springfield (Mo.) Hillcrest wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham at the top of the charts.

Green-Beckham, a 6-foot-6, 220-pounder, has been compared with Calvin Johnson to Julio Jones to A.J. Green and, most recently, Kyle Prater, who finished as the No. 3 player overall in the class of 2010. The big receiver was named the Rivals.com Junior of the Year, an award given in the past to players such as T.J. Duckett, D.J. Williams, Percy Harvin, Terrelle Pryor and Seantrel Henderson.

eddie williams far too low at 20, and no Ragland in the top 100??????????

 

[JuliosPigtails]

Ragland not being in the top 100 was due to lack of game tape. They didn't feel comfortable putting him in the top 100. That was from the chat they had about the rankings.

Give the man champagne with some caviar. totally agree with your summary.

The reasoning behind Barry Sanders not being on there was that he suffered a very major knee injury, but I haven't read anything on that at all. The only thing I have seen was the foot injury he suffered and had to have minor surgery on it. If he had a major knee injury I don't think he would be pressing it by playing baseball already.

over on Tidesports, most of the posters have already conceded to FSU as the clear winner for the 2012 recruiting title.

I love this time of year. no football and all the worry warts run around worrying about early commitments and recruiting titles.
