[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 251274, member: 2426"] I am most definitely not missing his point. I guess I am not being clear enough how little I respect the rankings services. I believe of the number of guys who "jump off the tape" to a level that you can accurately say they will most definitely be stars in college is VERY low, maybe 20 a year. The mutts DO NOT sign 10-15 of the top 20 players in the country every year. Many people believe there is some sort of magic, or genius level people tirelessly developing the rankings. As I stated before, the NFL uses more people and spends more money on evaluations. They evaluate magnitudes fewer players. They evaluate hours of film for every player they are interested in(and some they don't think they are interested in). They interview the players, the coaches, high school coaches, people who grew up with them, etc. Even with all of that, they still frequently miss predicting which fully grown men will be able to translate college success to the NFL. It absolutely amazes me how so many people actually believe that some guy working out of his house can evaluate several hundred to a few thousand high school kids using: data from a small combine, maybe 5 minutes of film, maybe talking to the kid, maybe talking to the coach, maybe talking to a college recruiting coach, and even get close to evaluating which not fully grown men will be able to translate high school success to college. Also, I think you might be missing the overall point. I don't believe that the mutts have the same level of talent as the top tier SEC teams. I am not saying that the mutts don't have ANY players. I am not saying that the mutts have the same level of talent as Kentucky and Vanderbilt. I am saying that they do not have the same talent level as: Alabama, Ole Miss, Tennessee.... I don't care what some anonymous guy working out of his basement says about it. They are a second tier SEC team. [/QUOTE]
