Sorry but Trey Johnson is not a 5 star. Watch his highlights and compare with Reuben's and you will see what I mean.

Damn that's a big drop for Trey Johnson. He deserves to be a 5*


It looks like they really rewarded those that did well in the Rivals100 challenge. Trey didn't really show out like Lawson and Robinson, who had highlight weekends.

He's still their #80 player in the nation, which is really damn good.

That doesn't mean he isn't a 5*, just not as high as Rueben (and I've watched them side by side already). I think his film is much more impressive than Matthew Thomas's though.

Never understood the Nkemdiche hype. Yeah, he's good and definitely a 5* but I don't think he's even close to being a consensus #1 player. I think Foster and Adams have just as much of an argument


Its all about body type and potential with RN. Those are two huge aspects of recruiting ranking.

Greg Bryant is now ranked #14 and is a 5*. I think I'm in the minority of people that would still rather have him

I'm still in Bryant's camp. I would be more than happy with him or Green but I do like Bryant a little more.

Someone found a video of him in a chicken coupe. He was letting the chickens play with his busted up kicks. Which would have been bad enough, but he answered a phone call towards the end of the video and he sounded very strange.

Thanks for the vidoe CPA. Is there a thread on the Rant?

Your first mistake was that you are in the library.

This is my take, maybe all the Green attention from AU this weekend will wake Bryant up! I'll be happy with either though.. Of course I wanted Dye too

Reading Tate's article on expectations and loved the last line of this quote

quote:

There is a downside. People tend to forget the arduous path that prefaced the Tigers' championship. I'm talking about the entire 2008 debacle. The 2009 game at LSU that seemed at the time like a denouncement of Gus Malzahn's offensive system. The concern over Lee Ziemba's false starts. Onterio McCalebb couldn't keep his feet. Daren Bates kept diving with his head down and missing tackles. The mere presence of Neiko Thorpe.
