Scout's top 300

[this hog needs help]

Arkansas doesn't have a very strong showing with Joe Adams being the first on the list at #155, along with Wright #276 and Curtis #268.

if they think Adams is 155 they have a messed up list.

I don't see how they have Sam McGuffie at no. 59.

My thoughts exactly.  I can not believe this young man is only a 4* in both Rivals & Scout.

Really starting to lose alot of faith in these services.

They may be watching tape and know that if he doesn't quit hurrdling defenders he is going to have a short career in the SEC.  I think the kid has to be the best RB i've seen in high school, but longevity could be an issue if he doesn't brake the habit.  I hope the Hogs get him that way I can see him play every Saturday.

Scout should be ignored.They watch very few on tape and rely on the people running boards.Rivals rely less on boards and more on tapes

Both systems have flaws, but I completely ignore most of Scout's rankings.  They are absolutely terrible. Scout did not give McFadden 5 stars and only gave DeAngelo Williams 1 freakin star.  There are several players that they miss on and the fact that they only have a couple of players from Arkansas listed in the top 300 further proves that they are a joke.  This is probably the best class of players in Arkansas ever 1-20.

scout is usually so behind it's a joke. rivals is better imo but their job is kind of impossible, to pick an arbitrary ranking system for thousands of players a year. It's inexact to say the least. That being said it's all that I have to go on really so I'll take it over nothing.

I really think recruiting rankings mean a lot more for college basketball than football.  If USC had the same class as us they would still have all four and five stars.  I think the problem is that there is just too many players to keep up with adequately.  There could be 700-800 d1 players in a class.

Hard to figure that one.  Must be 58 really great HS players somewhere in America.  I'd love to see Sam in a Hog uniform, I don't care, if he's rated 558.

rating prospects = weather forcasts

Scout is better in basketball, and Rivals is better in football.
