Sharrif Floyd and Kyle Prater earn their 5th stars. Latwan Anderson is #35 and Cullen Christian moves all the way up from a 3* to #60....now if he would just commit already!

i can pretty much guarantee this has been answered...but does the new top 100 imply re-evaluation of star levels or just re-ordering of the existing rankings? I thought there was talk of Pace and Wilkins possibly receiving additional starrage.
July 21st, 2009 at 10:05 PM
#8
They're reevaluating everybody
tomorrow they will release the rest of the 250 and on Thursday I believe they will update the stars of people outside the 250. So yes, there is potential in this current cycle that someone like Pace picks up a 4*

Bolden may be the most polished of the QBs, but I'll take Gardner's upside and perfect fit for our offense. Gardner is always going to get knocked for his unorthodox throwing methods. Could care less where Gardner ends up rankings wise; all I know that we got a stud athlete that will produce big time for us.

Yeah I just noticed that about Floyd's ranking. Thanks though.
Also, OSU commit Jamel Turner fell from #30 out of the Rivals100. Doesn't mean it wouldn't be awesome to have him. But an interesting thing is that he and some other players fell due to off-field issues. I wasn't aware that that determined a player's rating. You would think that a player's rating was just based on skill and talent. Interesting.

He's actually.....
He's actually on the right path. I don't want to say it's the only reason, because Cullen has told me he just wants to make sure.
Initially though, he did feel like his rankings weren't up to his abilities. He wanted to go as many places, and show what he could do to get his rankings up. So, he's not that far off of what Cullen has been doing.

Committed players don't sell the subscriptions. Rivals has only 1 committed player in their top 10 and 20 in their top 50. That implies either the top players wait longer to make their selections or committing early weighs down your ranking. You decide.

Of course, dude
Recruiting is all about aesthetics. And rubbing it in your rivals(no pun) faces. For instance, Brett Gallimore sucked more dick than any Michigan commit ever. HOWEVA, he was a top 100 player on rivals - which allowed me to brag about him for a couple years before it was time to accept that he sucked.
Recruiting is a numbers game. I want to see everyone with a 4-star and a 6.0 next to their name. I don't give a shit if they do nothing at Michigan - it's all about what we think before they play a down.

And your point being?
He's a smart kid he could have and should have done better than FSU.
FSU=Joke of an educational institution
And yes I am still bitter that he chose FSU for it's great academics over such other schools as Michigan and Florida. If he had picked Florida it wouldn't be a big deal but it's like the kid being the #1 recruit in the country saying "I want to go to the NFL and be a big time player in College Football" and then settling on BGSU.
July 21st, 2009 at 3:06 PM
#61
You're way off, FYI. At no
You're way off, FYI. At no point did he say "I intend on going to the highest ranked college in the NCAA according to US News & World Report." He wanted to go somewhere that would both challenge him academically and prepare him for the NFL.
He is now a Rhodes Scholar and is projected to go in the first round of the NFL draft next year. Looks like the joke's on you.
July 21st, 2009 at 3:11 PM
#62
Yeah....
And if you did a combination of the two Academics+athletics... FSU at that time was hardly at the top.
FSU hasn't been a huge power in football for a while and academically is a (pardon my french) complete shithole. If he had gone to the "best of both worlds" school he would have gone to Florida top 15 program in football and top 40 school or Michigan Top 25 program in football and top 25 school. But no he chose to go to FSU which is a Top 25 program in football (at best now) and a bottom 25 school in the nation (as far as D-1 programs go)
So yes I still do question his decision to go to FSU. Now if he really meant "I want to go to a good football school and a college that will not challenge me so that I can get sweet grades then yes he probably picked the best college.
And how is the joke on me I know that he's a Rhodes Scholar and is going to Oxford (I think) and is delaying going to the NFL...

Because you think his
Because you think his decision was poor, yet he accomplished exactly what he wanted to. Just because Florida is ranked in the top 40 (unconfirmed by me, FYI) doesn't mean that they are as good as FSU in terms of academics among athletes, or in his particular program. But goddamn don't you know everything?
I'm calling bullshit on FSU being in the bottom 25 of all D1 football schools. For these purposes, I'll assume you meant FBS, since LOTS of FCS schools are ranked below FSU.

Unless, of course, they actually mean it, like Rolle did, and go out and achieve exactly what they hope to, like Rolle did.

And I say congratulations and Kudos go to him
For being FSU's first Rhode Scholar (and probably last). I'll say it again. FSU IS A SHITTY SCHOOL. Going there for Myron Rolle is like a Devin Gardner going to a school for the blind and deaf and trying out for the football team. He's an all-star comparatively just like Rolle is an all-star academically at FSU.
It's a joke.

Are you really so arrogant
Are you really so arrogant and stupid you can't accept the idea a school might be very good at one thing and not so good at another? Or that it's more about what you, as an individual, push yourself to achieve than what your school is ranked? FSU, in Rolle's opinion, was the best place to achieve his goal of being a Rhodes Scholar. And, I'll be damned, he did it. So what's your point?
Quit being butt-hurt he picked FSU over Michigan and deal with reality.

That's great
And people make stupid decisions that work out great all of the time. Why are we praising him for making a stupid decision that just happened to work out?
Why not praise the guy who drove home drunk but didn't get a DUI. Hey it worked out for the best and it was a poor decision.
Why not congratulate the kid who decided to drop out of high school to make it as an actor or an artist or whatever.
Just because he achieved his goals doesn't mean that he made the right decision and lied about it in the process.
FSU = #102 in US News ranking and a top 25 Program
If he REALLY wanted the best of both world's he could have and should have gone to
Miami (that Miami), OSU, Michigan, Florida, etc etc etc. Florida is an awful school and congratulations are in order to him for achieving his goals but that doesn't mean that you need to slobber on his nob.

You have GOT to be fucking
You have GOT to be fucking kidding me. Comparing Rolle working his way to a Rhodes Scholarship to a guy who drives drunk and makes it home? You are being fucking ridiculous.
Rolle worked his ass off to get what he has. He didn't luck into it. Why do you give a flying shit where he did it? Oh, right, because it wasn't Michigan. Sorry.

Editorial Opinion FSU? Um... okay. I'd like to reference my recruit-to-English translation guide:
"Academics are extremely important to me" - I don't care about academics in the slightest.
"No, seriously, the academic reputation of a school is critical in my decision making." - My mom is in the room.
Further proof that academic reputation means nearly zero to anyone looking at a potential NFL career--and that those it really means something to go to Stanford anyway. Not that Rolle is a bad guy or FSU is a bad place to go.
Clearly I'm not alone in this thinking that FSU is a premier institution of higher learning *snicker*

Bouje, if you read about his
Bouje, if you read about his recruitment, you'll find that while Michigan was telling him about their bachelors of general studies, FSU was showing him how they could help him become a Rhodes scholar. It was a blantant mistake on michigan's part, as they pretty said "whatever" to his stated goal. FSU clearly remained true to their word.
You, on the other hand, have repeatedly demonstrated yourself to be one of the most stupid and unjustifiably arrogant posters on this site. And this is the dumbest battle you've fought yet. That's impressive.

The difference between then
The difference between then and now is the fact that HE WON A FUCKING RHODES SCHOLARSHIP. He wouldn't have done that here. Do you know why? Because we wanted him to major in zoology or some shit so we could be sure he'd stay eligible. He made the right choice, you fucking retard.

It's not that you said FSU is
It's not that you said FSU is a bad school. It's that you said it's a bad school for Myron Rolle when he's become a RHODES SCHOLAR there. It's also your appealing to the US World Report's numbers to prove your point and then disregarding them completely and naming OSU the worst academic school in the Big Ten while simultaneously pointing to OSU's academic ranking and exclaiming at how that proved how bad a school FSU is. FWIW I appreciate your never say die attitude.
July 21st, 2009 at 7:20 PM
#140
Everyone says that "OSU is the worst academic school
in the Big Ten and so I used USNWR to show how bad the "worst" school is in the Big Ten... I saw when I posted that there were several other Big Ten schools below OSU but I thought "Nah it's common knowledge that OSU is the worst school in the Big Ten they'll understand" but no I get torn a new one saying that I can't read lists and that I'm a fucking retard.
I've said all along FSU is not a good school and it was the incorrect choice for Myron Rolle and that Rolle would have been an NFL player AND a Rhodes scholar at other schools such as Florida and Michigan. Which are much better combinations of Athletics and Academics
July 21st, 2009 at 7:30 PM
#141
Well
Maybe that's because you've proven that you can't read and that you ARE a fucking retard?
Your own nominal judgement of FSU is an insufficient argument. Your points have all been refuted with cold facts throughout this ordeal. You've been told, repeatedly, that Michigan did not take his pursuit of a Rhodes scholarhsip as seriously as Florida State. You also are unaware that FSU paces UF in quite a few fields lately(and I say this as a UF attendee right now). Also also, FSU and Michigan have been a wash on the football field the past few season. And Florida was not quite Florida yet when Rolle committed.
The crux of your argument is that FSU is "not a good school," and people have ripped you a new one because that's "not a good argument." It's all rather simple, and you've made it worse by finding it necessary to defend yourself to the death as if this thread is your Alamo. Get a fucking grip on life, compadre.

OSU is not "the worst school
OSU is not "the worst school in the Big Ten", it does in fact have many well respected programs especially at the graduate level. As does Florida State. Your entire argument is so ill informed that it's staggering.

As the poster below
As the poster below pointed out, Rolle was not FSU's first Rhode's Scholar and actually he wasn't even their first student athlete to receive the Rhode's Scholorship. If I'm not mistaken, there was a Track and Field Athlete (Garrett Johnson) who received the scholorship a few years ago and was a mentor of sorts to Rolle while he was at FSU. They sold him on the fact that others before him have done the same thing and listed out a plan on how he would accomplish his goals. Also, he wants to be a brain surgeon and FSU has a great school for that as well. So yeah I believe there was a lot that went into Rolle chosing FSU and it seems like they did a good job of selling to him as well.

And if he won a national championship and was drafted in the top 5 of the NFL draft after attending Bowling Green, you would say that he had a successful time there because he accomplished his goals, yes? It's not like Rolle is still hoping to be a Rhodes Scholar, he IS a Rhodes Scholar. He has achieved his dreams, and if you care so much about his situation, then you should be incredibly happy for him

Believe it or not, football
Believe it or not, football coaches do care a lot about the grades of the players they are recruiting. Not only do players need to qualify initially through the NCAA clearinghouse, but they need to stay eligible while in school. Keep in mind that many of the top football programs are good to excellent academic schools, this is certainly a concern. Knowing that a kid has a 3.8 in high school implies that this is one kid that the coach (likely) won't have to worry about academically.

Everyone must prescribe to the ranking service as well. It will be taken out of your paycheck. The amount will be determined by what your income level is.
A czar will be appointed with the title of "High School Recruiting Ranking Czar" to oversee this process. He will be payed at least $1 million per year.

I hope all of our guys fall in the rankings
I'm willing to bet that everyone in the world telling you that you're the greatest thing in the world is not the easiest thing for the psyche of a 17 year old to handle. I'm sure it's fun, but so is heroin- you're right, too strong of a comparison, but I digress.
I'd bet it's healthier for RR and Barwis to take a kid -
who's already been evaluated to be the type of kid he needs to run his system which has proven itself at the highest level of college football
- and instill some real confidence in him that stems from hard work and accomplishment tempered with a bit of scorn for the media that under-valued him...
Than to throw in him in the fickle spotlight of the media that will throw him out in the cold the second there's a bigger story.
Of course, if I'm a kid I'd want that attention, but looking back, I'm glad I never had to deal with it at 17... give it to me now, well that's a different story ;)
Then again, I could be completely wrong.
July 21st, 2009 at 3:42 PM
#169
Yeah, wrong
Higher ranked kids are statistically more likely to succeed. I prefer to play the odds than to hope for outliers and some nebulous arguments about attitude.
That said, we do need people that fit the system and we should trust RR's evaluation over those of the recruiting services. It's a fine line.

We have yet to see how RichRod's recruiting classes are going to turn out, but I am already getting a little tired of hearing about "system" recruits. Especially when we're talking about defensive players. And FWIW, Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma all run a variation of the spread and they don't recruit 3* "system" guys.
July 21st, 2009 at 9:31 PM
#171
And the Congregation say AMEN!
I, too am tiring of the mantra of "wait til he gets HIS players"--as if Rodriguez runs some sort of super secret offensive package that only he knows how to run and only he knows who will work in it. I do think, or at least hope, that Rich Rodriguez doesn't all into this mindset and would very much like to land 25 5* recruits every season. I don't believe he came to Michigan at all thinking he'd win big with West Virginia type talent.
July 21st, 2009 at 3:49 PM

Bottom line is
Most Michigan fans are condescending fucktards who have little idea that the school you graduate from is secondary to your own will to succeed. Fuck, just look at dex. He graduated from Michigan and he's trying to turn tricks on craigslist.
FSU is a good school. But by all means, bouje, continue to huff n puff ridiculously about Rolle's decisions that have steered him into a Rhodes scholar and future NFL pick.
July 21st, 2009 at 3:56 PM
#173
Agreed, for the most part.
Agreed, for the most part. Where you go as an undergrad is pretty much meaningless if you don't intend to go to grad school. Many Michigan grads get out of college and are then shocked to see how competent and intelligent their peers who went to less prestigous universities are. I was somewhat guilty of this and it was very humbling (although I will maintain that the quality of education provided by most SEC schools to most of their graduates does, indeed, suck per the stereotype).

Yes I have an extremely highly opinion of him
and I also think that he's an amazing athlete and an all around great person from everything that I've heard and I think that the backlash against me thinking that it was a poor decision almost proves that.
But just because he's an extremely smart individual doesn't mean that he'll always make the correct choices and I still stand by my point that FSU was not the best choice for him for both academics and athletics.

The reason FSU was a better
The reason FSU was a better choice for him than Michigan goes beyond the majors he could have chosen. Here is a quick recap of his recruitment to help you understand why:
Rolle: I want to major in pre-med, become a doctor, and try to become a Rhodes Scholar.
Michigan: That's nice. Here's the academic services we have in place for all student athletes to help them stay eligible.
FSU: We'll tailor your academic plan to help you achieve your goals. We also have other students trying for the Rhodes scholarship, we'll have them give you advice to help you along.
Rolle: I choose the school where I'm most likely to acheive my goals, which is the place that actually takes them seriously.
Just because athletes can and do choose majors besides general studies at Michigan does not mean Michigan was the best place for Rolle to accomplish what he wanted to accomplish.
July 21st, 2009 at 6:46 PM

Patrick Omameh's middle name is Chuba? That's awesome.

You're not cool unless you pee your pants
How do you know whether a General Studies degree would affect your chances at a Rhodey*?
Don't believe the media hype - it's not that bad a degree. It's LSA without the foreign language req., which isn't all that difficult anyway. They should probably rename the damn thing, because it sounds lamer than it is. A GS degree is more difficult to attain than kinesiology or communications, IME.
*If you know ANYTHING about the Rhodes Scholarship program, you know that the cool kids call them Rhodeys.

Actually, I'm going to run
Actually, I'm going to run with this one. If you think it wasn't FSU that got him the RS, but that it was Rolle being Rolle, doesn't that imply that he could have accomplished this feat at any school in, say, the top 150 schools in the country? Let's assume, as you said, that Rolle could earn a Rhodes Scholarship at any FBS school.
Then maybe Myron Rolle likes the campus better, or the weather, or the girls, or Bobby Bowden. Keep in mind also Bouje, FSU is no powerhouse in 2009, but 4 years ago they were much better than they are now.

"I still stand by my point that FSU was not the best choice for him for both academics and athletics."
You, sir, are the gift that keeps on giving. I think you've been pounded to shit on your incredulous academic argument("Hey fucktard, you might be a Rhodes Scholar but you still made the wrong choice! I'm going to continue to ignore the point that Michigan cared just a little less than FSU did when it came to tailoring an academic plan for Mr. Rolle and use +1000 mana to boost my douchebaggery!), but as for the athletics - dude, it's been pretty much a wash with both programs underachieving(However, I think it's fair to say Michigan underachieved a little bit more). FSU has won 2 bowl games to our 1 since Rolle arrived. And the FSU defense has been a lot better than Michigan's over that same span - Rolle spearheaded one heckuva defense for the past 3 seasons, and FSU is one of the best feeder schools for star defensive players recently. So, like...whatever.

He was a 4 star before today. And they only re-ranked the top 100, which Mathis was outside of already.

Scene 1: Bouje at the bar.
Beautiful young lady: Hi Bouje.
(This is definitely 100% made up)
Bouje: Uh, hi. Can I buy you a drink?
BYL: Oh, sure. I've had such a long day, I just finished up my photo shoot after teaching kindergarten. Those kids are just as rowdy as I am (wink).
Bouje: (Thinks hard about what she means by rowdy. There was no engineering class about this.) I had my share of rowdy classes at Michigan.
BYL: Oh Ann Arbor? I almost went there for education, but decided to attend South Carolina to be closer to home and pursue my modeling career as well.
Bouje: [Dumbstruck] South...Carolina?
BYL: (Touches Bouje's leg) I love the [Game]Cocks.
Bouje: Why would you choose South Carolina? Michigan is much better for education. What a bad choice.
BYL: (Confused) What?
Bouje: It just seems like you could have done better.
BYL: I think you're right. Bye. (Walks away and 5 guys try to buy her a drink and talk to her)
Scene 2: Bouje back at his place.
Bouje roommate: Dude, you said tonight was the night that you were going to bring back a girl. What happened?
Bouje: Nothing worth bringing home. There was this one chick, she was a 6 at best, digging me pretty hard though. She said she models and teaches kindergarten. Then she told me she went to school at South Carolina because it was a good fit. I said, not good enough.
Bouje roommate: Are you retarded?
Bouje: (Shrugs, searches for Erin Andrews videos after putting on his underoos)
Scene, fade to black.

Man if only I wasn't -300 I'd +1 you
Great made up story. Too bad it's completely false and also there's a huge hole in your story how could the girl be a 6 and a model? What is she a plus size model?

Well according to this site:
I'm pretty sure the huge hole in the story is a girl talking to you. I love how your response to that clever, although long, joke was "Nuhuh! That's not even true!"...

Oh boy ...
Bouje treads about as gracefully as a yak on skates, but to be fair:
I don't think that the number of Rhodes Scholars churned out by FSU means it's a great school. They have clearly decided to put a lot of institutional resources on getting those shiny prizes, but it's not a terrific school overall.
That's not to say that Mr. Rolle made a poor decision - he, like FSU, had a singular goal in re: attaining a Rhodes Scholarship, and it was a perfect fit for him. From everything I've read, he is one impressive mofo ... the only thing I have against him is that, like other obscenely high-acheiving people, he kinda makes me feel lame.
I don't think he (Bouje, not Myron) deserves quite this many negative posts, and I'm certain there are people who were wantonly taking points away on every single post just because it was the thing to do. Bouje's cardinal sin appears to be losing his shit once people jump on him, but his early posts were not all that egregious.

1. No one's claiming FSU is a great school. They are pointing out it's an above average school (or average, by USNWR) that was dedicated to helping Rolle achieve his goals. And he did, which, to me, makes it the perfect fit for Rolle.
2. It's like when you were a kid and you mom kept adding days to your being grounded since you couldn't shut up and just take the initial punishment. Then, once you stopped and started serving the punishment, the sentence was commuted. He'll get his points back once he proves he can be reasonable.

I agree witchya
There's just an unappealing trend wherein, once people see the beginning of one of these epic beatdowns, they run around and downgrade his posts just because everyone else is doing it. Or maybe they just want to see how low his point total can get. Either way, I think -480 points or whatever is rather excessive for what the Boujer actually did here.

I hit the down arrow on quite a few posts because I think his debate skills - picking FSU was like driving drunk and making it home!! - are terrible and deserved it. But yeah, the piling on is kinda crazy.
At the same time, reaping sowing shit like that and on and so forth QED.
