knowing us being UT, no one will get bumped up but all of bama and florida's will.

IMO there are many who are deserving to get bumped. If worley, smith, jackson, and randolph can get bumped, we will be a top 10 class. oh and carson get a 3rd star

The only thing class rankings do is earn us Media Attention, which is very minimal anyways

If the players we have committed can play, I don't care if they have negative stars

I'm surprised Jackson's not already a 4th star. He's considered one of the best run blockers out there.

worley could have an outside shot at a 4th star. gatorade player of the year. a few recruits are a 5.7 with a 5.8 being a 4th star

We may see some slight changes in rankings.

Arnett could go to a 6.0, he had a good showing all week in practice, though not in the game.

Worley could get a bump if Rivals wants to save face and not leave a huge award winner as a 3*

A.J. Johnson may get a .1 bump or so after his showing at the UA game. He won't be a 5*, but could still improve.

If Marcus Jackson doesn't get a 4th star, then we know Rivals hates us.

Tom Smith MIGHT have a chance at it, but doubtful.

Randolph is bumped, no doubt.

Jordan Williams might get a 4th, apparently he had an awesome senior season.

HOPEFULLY they'll give Carson back his third star.

Those are the only possibilities I see though.

You are 100 % correct, but some fans (and maybe recruits too) seem to get a lot of joy and interest from the rankings. I tend to agree that it is ultimately not an important metric, as the specific needs of teams can't be easily quantified, even at the same position.

Great news for Randolph, and Jackson not having a 4th star is pretty silly. I would also say Randolph should be in the top 250 without question.

that is simply not true at all. justin coleman was bumped the last time they updated their rankings. randolph getting a bump is not a surprise. rivals guys have also hinted for a while that jordan williams and marcus jackson are under serious consideration for a bump as well. these anti vols conspiracy theories are a joke.

I think when people suggest Worley get a 4th star, they're just thinking he put up huge numbers, so he must be good. But sometimes people (even I) forget that huge numbers CAN be part of a system QB (see Texas Tech). However, I do still think he is a great Quarterback, and I think he will do well here, but it is true that he may not get the 4th star. However, Rivals may give it to him, though doubtful.

Hearing that it is extremely likely that they do get the bump to 4 Star. Was very impressive in the their practices and all-star games.

i think huge numbers in high school are terribly misleading. there are qbs up here in cincy every season that put up huge numbers, make all state, etc and arent even bcs prospects. numbers in high school can def be misleading when trying to gauge someone as a college prospect. thats all im saying

Agreed. However, I am excited about Worley's accuracy. Pass completion percentage was very high. That's optimistic.

Agreed. If we had a 5 Star committed they would want him to be bumped to a 6 Star.

With that being said I am not as excited about Worley as others are on here. I can't get over how everyone was wanting Brissett over Worley and that huge debate, but after we got Worley all was forgotten. I want him to do great here, but I'm afraid he will get recruited over especially with the big name QB's we are on for 2012.

I think Randolph and Jackson should definitely be 4stars. No way Carson is a 2star.

These 3 are the spots I disagree with Rivals and one of them is about to get fixed with Randolph and possibly with Jackson as well.

Kerbyson, Smith, and Williams are borderline 4stars for me. They could go either way. As long as they are high 3stars, I think they are in the right area. Kerbyson should be higher in the OL rankings though.

Worley should be higher in the QB rankings but he is a 3star.

What about Williams?

His senior film is lights out and he was extremely impressive at the all star game he played at
