Jon Runyan Jr ranking move (star-gazers beware)
Scout and 247 have adjusted his ranking. I'm not worried about this, and I assume it is related more to others "moving up" than Runyan having issues. He now appears to have lost his top-300 and 4* ranking on Scout and I think he moved from an 85 to an 81 (dropping 90ish spots nationally).
Just curious...Did he camp somewhere recently, or is this just relative fluctuation based on others jumping him?
He is first seen around 2:30 and then a little later.
I thought he did really well. Made it to the finals and all.
Scr*w stars!
that dude rashan gary looked the most impressive by far...hopefully um is recruiting him
He already holds a Michigan offer.
Unless there is a quota on the number of 4-stars, and the number of people ranked "85," I think it is more than people moving ahead of him. I'd guess it was based on his performance at the Jersey Nike camp.
I think people have just passed him up. I haven't read very much negative about him, but he's not particularly large or fierce or athletic.
But other than not being particularly large, fierce or athletic he's 100% pure awesome right?
One shows 6'3" 240lb and the more recent one shows 6'4" and 276lb so he did put on weight.
4 star "RuPaul Jr" is pretty fierce but I'd still take Runyan Jr over him.
Stars are stupid. Still want.
I don't think he was ever a 4* on Scout (or any service)
Scout.
Runyan 'can't wait' to get to Michigan Philadelphia (Penn.) St. Joseph's Prep offensive linemen Jon Runyan has been a solid early commitment to Michigan for some time. The four-star talent talks to Scout.com about his development, excitement about joining the Wolverines and more.
Hmmm...I guess I'm wrong. I give the ranking an occassional look and never saw him above 3*. Well, Scout givith and Scout taketh away!
As recently as the past few days he was #296 and 4* on Scout.
Probably not considered "prototypical" height.
3*/5*
Do not want.

Personally I think OL is the toughest position to project. It seems far more variable than any other position - you see no star guys or 2 star guys go in the top of the NFL draft 5 years later while 4 stars often flame out.
Guys who are giants in HS just have to physically dominate (who needs technique when you outweigh DE by 50 lbs) while smaller guys have to at least develop some skill set. It is very difficult to see who can in 3 years take that added bulk they all have to add and create a good level of technique to go along with it. Wisconsin takes 3 stars all the time and develops them ... hopefully if this world stays aligned Runyan Jr is not even sniffing a job until his RS JR year anyhow.
Stars don't matter, this kid looks the part and its in his blood. For those who do care about stars its still very early anyways, i'd wait till the end of his senior year for a better projection to come out. The guys at Scout probably haven't seen enough or recent film on him.
cares....
