Exactly how I see it.  The composite is the best thing, but Rivals is right behind it.  The Composite would be much much better if they'd eliminate ESPN from it and if they came up with a slightly better way to import Scout and Rical rankings.

Down to #6 in the team rankings?  WTF?  MSU up to #11?  MSU had zero recruits at the UA game.  Ohio State #1, I guess nI can see that with their haul yesterday.

Listen, we have to trust our staff.  Rivals to me has always been the ebst site, but some of these are puzzling.  The ESPN rankings are a joke and should not count towards the composite IMO.  247 is really is too political IMO, but their compsite is the best barometer.

JH is clearly the better judge of talent...the rankings do not factor in JH preferred qualities. Intelligence athleticism and perceived mental toughness. These rankings are dinosaurs vs the Harbaugh system.

Walker dropped 140 spots!

“Walker had a lot to prove at the Under Armour game and he fell short of expectations. The Michigan commit does not look like the same running back he did last year or the year before. He seemed hesitant, a little slower, and still has a problem consistently holding onto the ball. Hopefully whatever changed Walker's game can be reserved when he gets to Ann Arbor.” 

I had heard he looked like a different back and was now projected more as a one cut and go power back rather than a game breaker.

Oh well, it's one recruit, maybe he was banged up that week.

was way overrated back when he was committed to 0SU. Guess that's my way of saying that i'm not shocked that he fell. What pisses me off though, is the fact that the RB that OSU signed in Walker's place (Williams I think) ended up 50 some spots ahead of Walker in the final ranking. Urban pisses me off.

I understand these don't pull as much weight as Rivals, 24/7, and rightfully so, but ESPN dropped their new rankings too. Peters moved up and is now the #3 PP-QB, but K.Walker feel to #4 RB.

I think if Walker would have stayed committed to OSU, he would still be ranked high.Have anyone noticed how schools like Alabama and OSU recruits seem to rise while the Mich recruits always drops.
