Rivals 2013 Position Rankings

  • Rivals just put out their initial 2013 position rankings. I'm typing on my phone, so it's a pain to list all of our commits and top targets (maybe someone on a computer can do that) but three quickly stood out to me:

    1. Jake Butt is listed as the #4 TE in the country. He's going to be a great one and I have a feeling Ohio is going to really regret letting him get away.
    2. Ty Isaac is listed as the #2 RB. It really just confirms what we already know. MUST GET!!!
    3. Deveon Smith is waaaaay underrated at #32. Look for a big jump if he has a solid senior season.

  • IMO, Gareon Conley is criminally underrated if he's not even in the top 35 CBs listed. I watched some of the tape for 3-stars in front of him and I wasn't impressed.

    However, these rankings did just serve as a nice reminder of how terrifyingly good our OL class is.

    I heard someone say he was injured much of last year which may be the reason he's under the radar.

    So excited about the direction this football team is going, there is a clear identity of who they want to be and they're selling it to the recruits as good as anybody in college football right now.

    Just looked at the list, I wonder what their criteria is for Tackle vs. Guard grouping? Kugler is the #1 overall OG on Scout and has said he wants to play Center. Dawson has said he's a guard, and Fox or Bosch will likely play guard as well. It almost looks like 6-5 or taller == Tackle on their list?

    In HS football, most times the best offensive linemen play tackle regardless of where they're best suited at the next level so ranking them by position can get a little confusing. all those giys you mentioned most likely play tackle for their high school teams. however, if like you said these players have been quoted saying they'll play either guard or center at the next level you'd think they'd make such adjustments.

    OK. I didn't think much of it when Buttesnake listed Pocic cuz he listed Levenberry and Gedeon too so I figured he was just including our targets. Maple Leaf's comment made me wonder, though.
