The House of Blue

There's a panel of guys who do the bulk of the rankings, including JC Shurburt and Barton Simmons.

Ask those guys on the Blue Board, and I bet you'll receive some feedback.

Huh?

Some people have been asking about the number rating that goes along with the star ranking. Here's how that works:

110-101 = A player ranked in this range is a "franchise player." He is one of the best to come along in years - if not decades (LeBron James, Adrian Peterson). Odds of having a player in this category every year is slim. This prospect has “can’t miss” talent.

100-98 = Five-star prospect. One of the top 25 or so prospects in the nation. Player has excellent pro potential, and should emerge as one of the best players in the country before his college career ends.

97-90 = Four-star prospect. Prospect will be an impact-player for his college team. All-America candidate who displays pro potential. Typically one of the top 300 players in the nation.

89-80 = Three-star prospect. These are the players who will develop into reliable starters for the college teams. They are among the best players in their region of the country, and are generally among the top 750 players in the nation.

79-below = Two-star prospect. These players make up the bulk of Division I rosters. They may have little pro potential, are likely to become role players for their respective schools or not enough is known about the prospect to rank them accurately.

Gotcha. That bit of info escaped me as well actually. It never did seem like it was built to last. I think Brandon talked him into it more than anything. I wouldn't rule the Cardinals out just yet though.

I wouldn't count them out either, but he is not committed to anyone right now as far as I've seen.

I think it's probably a matter of getting some additional film at this point. Not completely sure. We're having our 247 convention this week, so I'll be sure to ask those guys while we're here.
