Stoney #13??

Brandon Moore ahead of Stoneburner and Posey?

EDIT- How long ago was this done?

What completes his game is the blocking. I think the top tight ends in this class are all excellent athletes and receivers but Rudolph is such a great blocker. He has offers from Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Miami of Florida, Virginia, Boston College and any number of others. He is likely to wait to make a decision but most think it will come down to Ohio State and Notre Dame, with the smart money on the Fightin’ Irish. Last year Rudolph caught 32 passes for 400 yards and seven touchdowns.

His updated list would probably look a lot different.

The list has not been updated for some time...Stoney's ranking was initially based on the fact Duane had no idea what position he would end up at. I put it up more for people to read the breakdowns on some of the kids (like DiLillo) that they might not know much about.

You get what you pay for (free = months old).

Rivals.com Football Recruiting - Updated Rivals100 set to release

Looks like one of Torrence or Posey will be a five star on Rivals now.

I'd guess Posey since I know he's been dominating the Rivals camps, but both should be top thirty.

Unless they reconsider their ranking of Shugarts and Adams, it's still pretty much a joke.

Posey is a five star and Goebel is now on both top 100 lists. Other than that, not much else. Hopefully when Rivals updates their state rankings they'll give Sweat the credit he deserves.

Mike Adams is getting screwed. I didn't realize Lamaar Thomas was rated so high!

I find it amusing how Beachum and Moore, both without tOSU offers, are rated well above Adams and Stoneburner, both tOSU commits.

Nice to see Bradham finally move down some and now Brew is the top player in Florida, though they have Kalil ranked over him (it's a toss up between those 2 anyways). I also am a big fan of Posey getting that fifth star...as I've been advocating for .

I thought Shugarts was much higher in the first edition...maybe 40s or 50s?

96

Mike Adams
Dublin (OH) Coffman OL6-7/308 Ohio State Some call Adams the best offensive lineman to come out of Ohio in years.


Yet he is only #96. Amazing.

THEN WHY WOULD YOU NOT HAVE HIM A 5-STAR PLAYER???

Because some others (southern homer "experts" named Bobby Burton and JC Schurbert) think he's a lazy bum who doesn't block anyone...
