kevin newsome #147 on ESPN 150
Kevin Newsome barely made the espn 150 (#147), and they have him listed as an athlete. why is it that rivals and scout rankings are almost identicle and espn is so far off?
other notable QB's:
Tajh Boyd #121
Eugene Smith #132
Tate Forcier #141
Morgan Newton #145
I'm actually not sure what Scout's affiliation with ESPN or the Under Armour game is, but ESPN is definitely pushing the UA game <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/feature/index?page=underarmour2009">hard</a>
ESPN is affliated with Scouts Inc, not the Scout.com we all know. I think it's strange ESPN didn't come up with a more unique name when Scout.com is one of the leading recruiting sites in the business. Scouts Inc: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?page=ScoutsInc
just checked rivals ane their rankings are not as close to scout as i thought. i noticed newsome slipped off the rivals 100 (was in the high 30's at one point IIRC, currently #53 on scout) and he is now lised as the 4th best dual-threat (i thought they had him as pro-style a few months ago). this is probably due to his poor combine performaces.
also, will campbell is not on the espn 150
