The Problem with Rivals
A certain amount of credibility is given to RIVALS star ratings on football and basketball players. I did a little research on the RIVALS star rating system and just wanted to pass this along. Here is how some of our playuers are rated by RIVALS.

ALmamy Thiero 3 STARS
Clyde Wade 3 STARS
Joey Dorsey 3 STARS
Simplice Njoya 3 STARS
Waki Williams 3 STARS
Kareem Cooper 2 STARS
Rodney Carney 0 STARS

If you want to see them all, you can go to the rivals.com site and access this information for free.

well, that and the fact that, here it is, 12:30, and they don't show us with any signed LOIs, while every other school has their partial or entire list up. Even UAB.

If their football is as bad as their basketball then it's not very good. Football is extremely difficult to cover, so many more players, you obviously can't see as many players, in basketball you can see the top 150 in each class, I have.

Rivals network of people feeding them info isn't very strong.
