=========
Rivals:
=========

Penn State:
---------------
Chris Colasanti LB 4*
Jon Ditto WR 4*
Nathan Stupar LB 4*
Nick Sukay WR 4*

Pitt:
---------------
Pat Bostick QB 4*
Chris Jacobson OL 4*



=================
Scout:
=================

Penn State:
-----------------
Nick Sukay S 4*
Chaz Powell CB 3*
Jon Ditto TE 4*
Nathan Stupar LB 4*
Josh Marks OL 4*
Chris Colasanti LB 4*

Pitt:
-----------------
Greg Gaskins OL 3*
Dan Matha OL 3*
Miles Caragein DE 3*
John Fieger OL 3*
Dom DeCiccio S 3*
Pat Bostick QB 5*
Chris Jacobson OL 4*


================
Street and Smith's top players to watch at each position:
================

Of Penn State commits:
----------------------------
Jon Ditto TE
Chris Colasanti LB
Chaz Powell CB

Of Pitt commits:
----------------------------
Dan Matha OL
Chris Jacobson OL


==================
Athlon Sports top players to watch at each position:
==================

Of Penn State commits:
-----------------------------
Josh Marks OL
Chris Colasanti LB


Of Pitt commits:
---------------------------
Pat Bostick QB


=============================

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.
