I Highlighted the "Shit Your Pants" Speed guys.....

Note:
On some of the New Commitments, I haven't seen their Highlight Videos....and their Senior Season will have a positive or negative affect on their ratings.  Also, I will not rate a player low just because his grades aren't good enough nor because he doesn't have enough "Big Offers".....Some schools do offer a kid verbally but not written, verbal offers usually aren't listed (ie. uat with Brandon Heavens).

Lanier played one season for Tennessee.  Had 48 tackles and was part of their plans for this season. 

Vols announced yesterday that he won't be eligible.  Academics I'm sure.

I thought I had read that in an article.  Maybe it was message board fodder, but pretty sure I read an article that said his grades were the reason he is not going to play.

Well he couldn't qualify for AU twice, couldn't get his grades in order to get out of CC and then somehow magically qualified for the Vols.  He was going to struggle.  Made straight A's at Gordo probably.

Someone said that the little brother was even lazier in the classroom than Izauea was, any truth to this?

I got a better kick out of El Toro getting 6 grillz and a pimp cup.

No idea.  He was/is five times the athlete.  Coulda been a contender.

Last year was his senior season.  Never saw where he signed anywhere.  Claimed that AU and several others were just waiting on his ACT score to snap him up but can't find any confirmation that anybody -- even juco -- did.

Well, since I can't tell the future...the ratings were done off of the player's productivity & ability in HS, JUCO or Prep. That's how all of the rankings are done, I'm not going to project how a player might look or play years down the road, unlike some of the recruiting websites. So, yeah, you will have a higher rated  player that flops in College for whatever reason and you'll have a lower rated player that explodes in his 3rd or 4th season.

I misunderstood.  I thought these recent posts were "re-rankings" of the classes.
