I know this is brought up like 1,000 times a year, but this is actually humorous.

Rivals has Oregon at #6 and Washington at #23.

[Bigducker]

Just shows you how ridiculous scout's rating's are.

[RanDux]

So that means in 4 more years they should be better than us, right? Oh wait, they've been ranked higher before, haven't they?

[Sooth]

wow.

[karlhungis]

They have poached the only good recruits in WSU's class.

[RevancheDuCanard]

It's all F3. Fat F****** Fetters.

When your regional recruiting "expert" is employed by the team site that just happens to also be the recipient of ridiculously and consistently higher rankings than deemed by any other recruiting eval service for that team, well. Enough said.

Washington:

ESPN - Five-star: 0 Four-star: 3 Three-star: 16 Others: 6

Rivals - Five-star: 0 Four-star: 5 Three-star: 18 Others: 3

Scout - Five-star: 2 Four-star: 4 Three-star: 18 Other: ?

Getting a five star rating is so rare and you have to be so elite to get there. So for them to award two to two kids that no-one else sees in that light, just cheapens it. But Husky fans surley won't mind - so Scout gets to keep those subscriptions for another year.

Well said, *GOLF CLAPS*!

Why did Wallace lose his fifth star anyways?

Don't forget the new site, 247, UO is ranked 9th while UW is in the 24th last time I checked.

I don't pay as much attention to the stars as I do to the other offers. if you look at the other offers for Washington recruits, they have done pretty well getting some of their recruits away from other schools, including five players with Oregon offers.

Oregon doesn't have as many recruits, but 8 of them had Washington offers per Scout, and Oregon's recruiting is far more national in scope. Several of our guys had SEC or Big-12 offers, whereas most of Washington's were limited to the Pac-12.

Obviously, there were quite a few recruits that Washington didn't even offer because they knew they wouldn't get them (Lyerla, for instance) and vice-versa, so looking for cross-offers on Scout doesn't tell the whole story.

This is like Husky fans bragging to Oregon fans "at least we won our Bowl game."

At least they can claim something!

[woundedknees]

Cody Bruns laughed at your cynicism.

[Tray Dub]

If you're going to start worrying about rankings, this isn't really that outlandish. Yeah, UDub is higher than they are on other sites, but Oregon's ranking is pretty average compared to other sites. This really isn't THAT ridiculous.

Plus, this really doesn't matter much. We're going to do more with the talent we've landed than they are, so who cares?

FWIW, their tight end is def. a 5 star IMO.

I was under the impression that he will be moved to OT, but I could definitely be wrong.
