Rumor has it Rivals lowered his rating to a 4 star once Mizzou made the offer.

Happened more than once to an Aggie recruit. It has been well documented how Ketch manipulated rankings. If tu offered or the kid committed, immediate bump. Committed to Texas A&M and they would drop. It's shocking and glaring, but he has all the power. He even deleted his criticism of Luke Joeckel(every Aggie commit had a caveat to their ability) leading up to the NFL Draft... 4 years after the fact.

Been going-on forever. Happens every year. Not sure how many years ago you are talking about but that fat frick drunk Bobby Burton was notorious for it in the old Rivals days pre-2001. If a kid was committed to A&M or Mizzou or even Okie State he may have been a 2 star ... but if he switched to Texas he overnight became a 4 star.
Burton is the biggest longhorn homer out there and another example of why recruiting services suck donkey slongs past the first 15 or 20 obvious blue chippers.
