Just like going from College to the Pro's, taking a High School kid and labelling him a top recruit is stupid. This is not Basketball. Players develop at different rates.

I understand the need for people to analyze everything in the world of sport, but proclaiming a group of young men to be DIFINITIVELY better than another before they have even stepped onto a college football field is pure speculation. And yes, I know most of sports talk is speculation, but I guess this is me simply not understanding some peoples way of doing things. I could very well say that the best recruiting class this year was North Western. Nobody has any basis or legitimacy to say I am wrong.

And if I hear someone say that it is similar to the NFL draft one more time, I may punch them. It is not. Not even close. Stop saying that. It is stupid. (This is aimed at the morons I speak to, not this thread). The only way that it is similar to the NFL Draft is that they both give too much hype to someone who has played the previous years playing at the stage below, and has just about the same chance of being a bust as he does of being Half Decent, let alone good.

I guess this is just me ranting and raving about people pinning their hopes on one person. Or one group of people. Let the players play before you rank them definitively.

It's all about potential...not how they'd do right away at the next level.

You can just tell that some players have more potential than others.
