2018 Rivals/Scout/etc. National & Regional Rankings

I feel comfortable saying Miami's class will look nothing like it does now come Signing Day.
What May help Miami and UK is the early NSD in December though. But I agree that they'll have a number of guys that will look around once the annual Miami tailspin begins. No way Bama doesn't start poaching some of their guys along with FSU

I'm not about to pretend that ESPN is credible in recruiting. They weren't a decade ago when they tried to jump in half heartedly and they certainly aren't now that they slashed their budget (years ago) and decided that they weren't really going to be in this industry.
I'm actually surprised they didn't go after Scout when it was up for sale or in bankruptcy (can't remember which). It probably wouldn't have cost them much and they would have gotten a built in network of connected folks

The fact that almost every Buckeye commit and target dropped in rankings, though most of them had great showings in The Opening is the most surprising

No joke. From all the reports I read, it seemed like our guys would keep their rankings at least. Vincent is especially surprising to me. Although Teague jumped up higher than I was thinking he would and soon to be Buckeye Ruckert got a 5th star and went up to No. 11, so there's that I guess.
