NCAA Football 12 Freshmen ratings

[Joey Sauce]

I have been looking at the ESPN top 150 ratings from the 2011 recruiting class and comparing them to how the freshmen are rated in the game and im wondering if i should go and rerate them all based on the espn ratings. I did not agree with several but Jadeveon Clowneys 83 seems accurate.

What do you guys think?

You should look at more then just the ESPNU 150....Rivals is a much better recruiting site. ESPN always tends to overrate the southeastern recruits.....

I have looked at a few freshman and think a few are overrated. Really no freshman should be rated over 80 before the season starts. Obviously some will set themselves apart (Robinson last season) and require a ratings boost but how do you rate guys who have never played a down?

Use scout and Rivals i agree with what someone said earlier they overate the southeast.

Do scout and rivals give numerical ratings? Maybe I will go by those sites then, but i definitely feel that once community rosters are done a rerate of the freshmen is needed

Well, when the SEC wins how many NCs in a row you can't really question the logic of rating the players from the South higher.

Edit: Oh, and for the best ratings you should average 247sports, Rivals, and ESPN. **** Scout and Maxpreps.
