Heads up K5, looks like Rivals updated rankings for all of the guys who weren't rated yet.
Unfortunately they are all 2 stars. Some of Rivals rankings puzzle me such as why is Flores rated a 2 star 5.3 which isn't even the best 2 star rating you can get.

All they did was give everybody who wasn't previously rated a 5.4 rating. Looks like zero effort was put into it. The only thing I can assume is Rivals changed its SDSU rater this year and the newbie is putting no effort into it. If Flores isn't upgraded to 3-star status by LOI day, to a 5.6 not just a 5.5, that will confirm as much.

If they didn't bother to rank them before, of course they aren't going to rank them high.

I think these services still subscribe to that theory of dropping or adding a star based on where a player commits to. I'd venture to say our *** recruits are better than the *** recruits at a BCS school.

Needless to say it's been awfully silent on the coaching front since the staff must be out recruiting. I get the feeling we're going to be pleasantly surprised come signing day. Wouldn't put it past Rocky to get those hard to get DT studs that he may have been working on behind the scenes. For the most part, they're the missing ingredient on the list. The coaches are at a convention. We have a DT in the class in Alex Barrett but he's listed as a DE on Rivals. Do you know if Ludwig joined them at the convention, or is he off on a junket to Wisconson?

Not that I'm trying to bash on these guys that work for Rivals, or Scout, or ESPN, or whatever other site decide to rate high school players, but to me its pretty funny that these guys think that they have more insight than any other High School football fan when they watch these kids play. I truly feel that this rating of high school athletes is pretty arbitrary. you're either good, or a very good athlete. The decimal system is almost ridiculous in regards to saying that one guy is .2 better than another guy. When you watch a high school football game, its pretty obvious who is good, who has potential, and who has reached their peak performance as an athlete.

Before everyone riots over the rankings, Edward said that the 2 star umbrella rating was just to get them in the system, and the final rankings won't be complete for a few days. Expect to see Judge, Kazee and others bumped up to 3 stars when the final rankings are produced.

I really like ASR, but this was weak. Two stars for everyone they hadn't rated before? It just looks like they got it over with.

Ron, read up a few posts. And it has nothing to do with ASR. The national Rivals writers are the ones that control the rankings.

Does anyone know why Rivals and ESPN list 18 and 17 commits for us and Scout only has 14?

Does anyone know why Rivals and ESPN list 18 and 17 commits for us and Scout only has 14? its like that every year. Scouts usually always behind when it comes to SDSU. One thing I noticed is that Scout is being a little more liberal with their stars this year than in years past... I wonder if theres something to that?

Scout aways seems tardy....they still don't have Queen as a commit.

I know it has already been assumed, but has Baxter to SDSU been official yet? I don't remember ever reading it.
