Point One - You can close the thread because as thread starter you are de facto a thread administrator. Hell, if you feel so inclined you can delete it. These facilities are found under the drop down menu called Thread Tools.
Point Two - I don't think it would be good move to either close or delete the thread. You started it, and the fact that I and others disagree with you about Illinois' ability to rise from the mat in 2 quick years is not IMHO sufficient reason for thread closure, certainly not deletion.
Point Three - When you start responding to the thread with language like "are you implying Morrow's a 2* recruit" you are not even using a data source you yourself cited, i.e. scout.com. Furthermore the tenor of such a response gets mighty close to calling out an individual poster.
Point Four - All the rating services have strengths and weaknesses, the biggest of which weaknesses is their willingness to pump a recruit who has yet to commit over one who has committed. The next biggest for either scout or rivals, is their inability compared to creditable coaching staffs to recognize best quality prospects. (Case in point AJ Hawk, who was rated only as 3* by both scout and rivals in the 2002 class, and we all know how that worked out). The last weakness of scout and rivals as rating services is that they do so often fail to agree on a prospects worth - frankly it should not be that hard, and in my opinion neither service is actually better than the other, both are equally at fault. Then again, if they agreed, they would not have anything "unique" to sell to their subscribers.
