Rivals has been crashing all day.

ESPN is the world wide leader. The rest are chumps.

ESPN's recruiting rankings are the worst in the industry and always have been.

So far, Alabama has the highest average per recruit in every recruiting service. Some seriously high levels of quality per recruit there.
Posted on 2/3/16 at 10:23 am to Tuscaloosa
So Alabama is 6th on Rivals, 3rd on Scout, and 7th on ESPN, but #2 on 24/7 Composite.
LSU is 5th on Rivals, 4th on Scout, and 1st on ESPN, but #5 on Composite.
Makes sense.

Sour grapes.
From what? They've given Alabama the #1 ranked recruiting class for 4 consecutive years.
They're awful.

There is only 1 world wide leader in sports. Quit being such a hipter.

Composite uses the average ranking for every committed recruit from all 4 major services. Easily the most accurate ranking available. There is no conspiracy.

Also, there is a pretty clear outlier here... and it's not 247sports.

Yes, there is. Alabama also didn't take a kicker this class which is something Ohio State and LSU both did which lowers their average appropriately.

Uga has second highest in all services. Hell of a job by Smart to keep them together

If you are going to half-arse it on the SECr NSD board and not include all SEC programs so that we can watch the rises, and the declines ... then don't do it at all.
Saban would process you for being half-assed.

I'll include you as soon as your bitch asses make it into the top 25. Do you have any idea how much time it took to compile all that?

Can we pretty please just leave Texas A&M out of it this year?
Doesn't the SEC have some sort of mercy rule?

Updated. Bama remains #2 in 247, jumps to #3 on Scout, jumps LSU to #5 on Rivals.
