Every service gets their own picks. Trenton Thompson was the consensus #1 after they were all averaged together. That takes out the bias.
He was number 1 in 247's rankings, number 2 in Scout's and who else's? Serious question as I don't know. ESPN's rankings are one in the same with Rivals, right?

BTW, what happened with Josh Sweat? Was he not committed to us at one point?

I don't keep up with all the different services, just remember that Trent was the consensus #1. There's a lot of different opinions about how to evaluate a recruit, plus there's a bias to rank players who commit late higher. For example, I saw that Roquan Smith was rated the #1 MLB on Scout. Little too high IMO because of his size, but that keeps the fans interested in the process right up until signing day. By commiting early, Trent probably hurt his ranking on some services.
As for Sweat, he tore up his knee and committed to FSU, so he dropped in the final rankings. Not a big deal, we signed several DE/OLB's who could end up being as good as any in the country.
