the CB and OLB from Florida currently hold 2 ** rankings from Scout. Thought Moss would at least get 3***.

It's 'Ballesteros'. I think it is outragos and uncontientos when people misspell a person's name. Mostly, just rude. Let's work at it folks.
Moss is a 3 star on Rivals.
Scout sucks. I give them slightly more credence than chimps throwing darts at a board.
Just wondering?
Their format has improved leaps and bounds and the articles on Minnesota recruiting have surpassed Rivals/Gopher Illustrated. If you want to use a pay site it is a better bang for your buck than Rivals and a lower annual membership.
gopher fan recruiting mentality: whichever site ranks our commits higher is more accurate.
there is no one formula to which one can apply a high school football player that will produce a more accurate ranking for the prediction for a college career than another.
rivals hands out more three stars to gopher recruits, but don't believe for a second that because a player is rated at a 5.5 three star at rivals and a two star at scout that there is any difference (other than rivals stroking your fragile ego with a pity star).
I agree. The publishers/writers for Goldensports.net (Gophers Scout) have been knocking it out of the park with their stories, information, and contacts with recruits/prospects. A lot of great stuff coming out from Scout website for Gopher fans.
As far as the actual recruiting rankings go I'm not the biggest fan of Scout's ratings like some others on this thread have indicated. As far as ratings go, like many from the sounds of it, I prefer Rivals. Although mostly I take consideration all the sites rankings - Rivals, scout and ESPN (maybe a little bit of 247 now).
But the nice thing is the ratings on these sites are free. I'm not sure who comes up with the rankings at Scout, but fortunately the Minnesota Scout site has been top notch as stated above. So for that reason I would definitely recommend Scout subscription to a Gopher fan looking to join one of the pay site options to get their fix on Gopher info.
Overall, between Scout, Rivals, Gopherhole, FBT, 247 sports, Espn, etc, it seems we Gopher Fans are getting a lot of god info to fill our "fix" of Gophers news, especially pertaining to recruiting updates.
OT but didnt want to start a new thread, I noticed on scout that Andre Mcdonald has an offer from Ohio State, pantherhawk was saying he is gonna visit there?? Anyone know if thats true?
