I personally respect ESPN's rankings more than Rivals and Scout. I think Scout is the worst of the 3.

I'm there as well. I hook up all the Canes fans with all the real inside scoops. There is so much BS out there, so I have to be careful, since the Moderators don't like to be shown up when your putting info out there that they don't know. They want to be the ones breaking the news.

I think they are all worthless. No one knows how kids are going to pan out. All these ratings are is a headcount as to how many players that these people think are good each school got. Look at USC. Ranked 7th by Rivals and not ranked at all by Scouts. It is all hype.

I agree to an extent as well Junkdog.. They go by all of these 7 on 7 tournaments and camps. These kids look 10x better without pads on plus a lot of kids don't attend camps for $$ issues and are busy working on grades, so they aren't rated correctly even when they are dominate in HS because they didn't attend the camps. So many of the stars come from the camps and allstar games ect..... It's catelog shopping for some coaches. The real good coaches actually do there own evaluations by holding their own football camps.
