Do we see yet that these stuff is all crap? Rivals doesn't have Dan Matha anywhere, yet S&S's has him as one of the best players in the country at OL. Same with Chaz Powell. Bostick isn't even in the S&S's rankings. Marks gets no love from Rivals yet Athlon has him on their short list. It's all just personal opinion!!!

Good points. I pay for Scout only to get the video, and see what everyone else is saying. I would say nearly 90%+ of everything I have read on there has been (or turned out to be) accurate.

I think the general rule when following recruiting should be: pay no attention to "stars" a kid is given, look at who is offering him a scholarship.

If a 3 star kid is getting offers from Michigan, Texas, Georgia, FSU, and other big boys, then it's a fair assumption that he is solid talent.
