Thanks for that incredible video.

Rivals has finally given him 4 stars and added him to the 250.

Knowing Rivals, though, he might be out of the 250 by signing day.

I don't know why you guys worry about Rivals so much. Its just one scouting service geared towards fans. Coaches don't actually go off of it, you know.

You're right in the sense Mike that coaching staffs don't go by these recruiting service's lists. However, one cannot deny the impact these racist lists have on the minds of the unsuspecting web surfer who sees all these black heavy player rankings and it just adds to their negative stereotype of white football players.

I understand that. But they're (Rivals, Scout, etc) already on their way out. Look around. Kids market themselves now. In two years nobody is going to paying to watch tape they can get off YouTube for free.

I think you underestimate the average college football fan.

I hope you're right in your predictions Mike. But I don't hold the average college football fan in any higher esteem than the average NFL fan. Ignorance is abundant among both groups. I think Rivals and Scout can have an influence on the masses (which could include boosters) and upon other media members who continue to perpetuate anti-white stereotypes. Edited by: jared

Sorry, Mike but I think your overestimating the average college football fan. It's the average ones that don't do their own homework and rely on the lists and rankings rivals and scouts provide. That is the large majority of these frat boy drunkin white football fans. Everything single thing they hear and see from Kiper and ESPN is automatically taken as the truth. Then there's a tiny percentage of fans that actually think for themselves and do their own research and look at the stats/numbers objectively.
