2014 Scout Recruiting Rankings

Submitted by Nosce Te Ipsum on

The 2014 rankings are out. Malik McDowell is at 15 while Damon Webb comes in at 33. Drake Harris checks in at 39. That's a lot of impressive in state talent. I can't remember a time when Michigan had that many prospects so highly regarded. 

Michael Ferns is at 76 and is the #6 MLB

This is looking good for Michigan, but as soon as Rivals comes out with their 2014 list many of the kids will be stacked in completely different places. I like the way our coaches rank the recruits, because they're much better at it than the pay sites by any measure.

People say this kind of thing all the time, but it really isn't true.  Think about all of the possible ways that you could rank the tens or hundreds of thousands of high school football players.  Of course, there are differences across the services - and discrepancies between service rankings and offers - but the lists are pretty similar on the whole.  It's rare that you see a two-star recruit with elite offers or a five-star recruit with a lousy offer list.  Across services, they sometimes disagree about whether a kid is a four-star type or three-star type, but you rarely/never see kids with five stars on one site and two or three on another.

Do we know what's up with Artavis Scott (#15 WR)?  It seemed like he was really interested when he visited with Mason Cole, but I think he needed to submit his transcripts or something before getting an offer.  That was a few months ago now. 

The kid has all kinds of great offers already - Florida, FSU, Notre Dame, Ohio State, etc.

If you watch McDowell's tape, he looks lightyears behind where Taco was at the same point. I really don't get where the hype comes from.

2014 rankings already? I'm glad I don't know most of these names. Recruiting is just getting too crazy. I only care about the current class that can sign in Feb. Anyone else that way?
