2008 ESPN 150

[BigWillie]

If anyone pays for recruiting news by this bunch, they should honestly be shot.

 

It's nice to see 3 Nebraska boys in the 'Top 150', but where they have them rated, and how they have them rated is a but funny.

ESPN is worthless when it comes to recruits

[Husker B]

ESPN is worthless when it comes to most things.

[BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA]

No Steinkuhler? Very fishy. And Sean Fisher the number one prospect in Nebraska?

[chuckd]

Not having Baker Steinkuhler on this list is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. He is the #1 recruit in the state next year bar none. I think Fisher is a good athlete and I would love to have him, but he's not a top 100 player in the nation. I'm guessing darts were used when they selected this list.

 

Good thing is nobody pays attention to ESPN's rankings, even the writers at ESPN. I remember after signing day one of their writers had a story about how this was Callahan's best class, even though the ESPN rankings had us inthe 40's or something. Even as inexact of a science as the whole recruiting thing is, ESPN is just plain worthless.

No Steinkuhler? Very fishy. And Sean Fisher the number one prospect in Nebraska?

Rivals has a teaser today about how Steinkuhler was a possible 5 star player.

[huskerfan500]

Espn's rankings for college football is all done by scouts inc. they are not worth a penny in judging talent

[westgatehusker]

I had hadn't seen espn's rankings before HOLY POOPNUGGETS it's worse than scouts!!!!

[huskerfan500]

when going to the nebraska recuirts, it has Steinkuler as a 150 member now along with the other three, It also give Leverson a 73 along with Grixby and Tim Biere the TE from Westside a 71 along with Thorson from Millard North, everyone else is a 40

[BIGREDIOWAN]

ESPN is worthless and I tend to not listen to anything they have to say!

[Axl_sued_me]

Jesus Christ!!!!!

 

The top 150 looks like an all you can eat buffet for Texas and Oklahoma.

[BIGREDIOWAN]

[huskerguy]

fyi Blaine Gabbert is ESPNs #1 rated QB, but ESPNs rankings suck so how much reliability is there...

[Licensed to Ill]

I doubt ESPN did any research to this anyways.

[Blackshirt316]

Did Gabbert fall out of the top 100 now that he gave us his verbal?
