Recruiting Services - Kerry Neal

[Irish Envy]

Here is something to look into. With Rivals recently releasing their Rivals 250, Kerry Neal was nowhere to be on the list. As you remember when Scout released it's Hot 100, Kerry Neal was included and is ranked as their #1 DE prospect. If you want to throw in ESPN's Scouts, Inc., they have Kerry Neal as their highest rated DE prospect right now.

So what do you think? I can understand some discrepancies between the different services, but that HUGE? What gives?

maybe Rivals doesn't like ND.

How can this be? Really puzzling?

While I think they have substantial bias towards the SEC, I don't honestly think they have a bias towards Notre Dame. However, the Kerry Neal omission just really puzzles me.

That is odd...He has to be one of the top 250. Just a good old fashioned ommission perhaps?

I am confident he will enter at least the 250 by the end of his final high school season.

The initial rankings don't mean too much at this point, since they will change during the year.

I agree dankus, these sites will realize eventually that this kid is a stud. He won't get up as high as he should, just like munir prince didn't last year, but he will rise.
He is the stud sleeper of this class for sure!

I think he's this year's Toryan Smith. Both are guys that deserved a much higher rating than they received and in both cases, Scout and Rivals couldn't come up with a reasonable excuse.
